Center text alignment in table UI cells
We can display data in a table-like form in the Blender UI with the row() and column() functions of the layout element in the Panel class, from which we inherit the custom UI panel classes.

Creating links between Blender nodes using the Python API
Typically links between nodes in Blender are created by simply dragging and dropping between the desired input and output node sockets. However, if necessary, we can also connect nodes using the Blender Python API.

Blender Geometry Nodes based maze pattern
With Blender Geometry Nodes, we can create seamless patterns by arranging and combining separate elements in the desired way. This principle is named the “Truchet tiles”. For example, let’s create a seamless procedural pattern of a classic labyrinth with rounded corners.
Removing View Layer with Blender Python API
To remove an existing View Layer using the Blender Python API, we need to execute the remove() method from the list of all view layers of the current scene.
All possible values for the bl_context parameter in UI panel classes
The bl_context parameter is used for placing custom UI panels on the desired tab in the Properties area. The value specified in this parameter is responsible for which tab the user panel will be placed on.

Context overriding in Blender 3.2 and later
In the Blender Python API, some operators can only be called in the area they are intended for. If we call such an operator in another area, it will not be executed or Blender will throw an error. To call a context-related operator from an area not intended for it, we need to redefine the context.
Spatial Funnel on Blender Geometry Nodes
Using Blender Geometry Nodes, we can very easily and quickly create the effect of a spatial funnel with animation.
Embedding textures into a file when exporting to FBX from Blender
The FBX format supports packing textures into a file. To embed textures into the .fbx file when exporting from Blender, we need to specify the value of the Path Mode parameter equal to “Copy” in the export parameters and enable the Embed Textures option.

The alpha channel secrets or where does the glow go on a transparent background
A clear explanation of the difference between the two types of transparency used in graphics, and an analysis of why, when saving the render on a transparent background, the glow around objects disappears.
