We can assign constraints to objects through the object “constraints” property.

To add a constraint to the currently active object, we need to create a new constraint in the object’s “constraints” list, specifying its type in the parameters:

The camera angle ​​in Blender can be set both in millimeters – the Focal Length parameter, and in degrees – the Field of View parameter.

To get the Field of View in degrees from the Focal Length value in millimeters, we can use the following formula:

To make a new UV with the Python API and set coordinates to its points, we need:

First – create a new UV with the desired name:

Next, to specify the coordinates of its points, we need to cycle through all the “loops” of the mesh:

You may need to get a list of coordinates of the mesh’s UV, for example, when exporting a mesh from Blender’s internal format to any external formats.

A list of the mesh UV-s can be got by accessing the “uv_layers” structure:
