Switching the selection mode between vertices, edges, and polygons in mesh edit mode is mapped by default to pressing the 1, 2, and 3 keycodes on the keyboard. However, if it is more comfortable to use these hotkeys for other functions, we can change this mapping.

Blender add-on “EEVEE Materials Override” updated to v. 1.3.1.
If the object you need is located in a hidden collection, it can be difficult to find it in large scenes.
To find out in which collection the desired object is located by its type, we need to execute the following. For example for cameras:
|
1 2 3 |
[(obj.name, obj.users_collection) for obj in bpy.data.objects if obj.type=='CAMERA'] # [('Camera', (bpy.data.collections['camera'],))] |
This code will return a list of cameras and collections in which they are located.
Modules used in Blender scripts and add-ons are located in the same directory as the script or add-on, or in the Blender installation directory by the “blender_version\python\lib\” path. However, it is possible to load a module located elsewhere on the hard drive.
To do this, we need to load the module by its absolute path.

Most often, for quick simplified calculations with the object’s geometry, their Bounding Boxes are used – the minimum parallelepiped into which this object is inscribed. But sometimes the Bounding Sphere – the minimum sphere into which an object can be inscribed – can provide greater accuracy and simplify the calculations. While the location and size of the object’s Bounding Box is available in Blender at once, the Bounding Sphere we need to calculate manually
Let’s write a function that, based on the object list, returns the coordinates of the center of their Bounding Sphere and its radius.

Unfortunately, Blender’s interface does not support word wrapping and multi-line text blocks. Text lines that are too long to be displayed in the panel are cut off. However, multiline text can still be displayed on the panel using several text elements instead of one.
First, let’s create a simple panel in the N-panel of the 3D Viewport window and place a label element with the desired text on it.
Freeze Transform – the Blender 3D add-on that allows you to save the current object transformations, next, move, rotate or scale the object, and then easily return it back to the saved position any time.

Cameras in Blender are always defined by two FOV angles – vertical and horizontal.
One of these angles is always set by the user through the camera parameter – Feild of View (or a combination of the Focal Length and Sensor Width parameters).
