Making a copy of an object using the Blender Python API
There are two ways to create a copy of an object in a scene:
- By calling the duplicate operator,
- By using the object’s “copy()” method.

Using UV coordinates for working with mesh geometry
With the coordinates of the UV, we can manipulate not only materials but also the geometry of the mesh itself. We can connect the UV coordinates with the mesh geometry using “Geometry Nodes” in Blender.

How to apply transformations to a mesh with the Blender Python API
To apply all transformations to an object, all its vertices must be multiplied by its global matrix, the matrix itself must be made identity.
To apply all transformations to the active mesh, we need to execute the following:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
import bpy obj = bpy.context.object matrix = obj.matrix_world.copy() for vert in obj.data.vertices: vert.co = matrix @ vert.co obj.matrix_world.identity() |
Message Bus
In Blender API there is a module that we can use to track the changes of any object’s properties available through the Python API. This module names “Message Bus”.
Let’s look at how we can make an event handler function to track changes to a property. For example – the location of the 3D cursor.
