Setting the UV layer active with the Blender Python API
We can get access to an object’s UV layers using the Blender Python API through it’s “uv_layers” list By referring to any UV layer from the list, we can make it active for using and for rendering.

Array with Blender Geometry Nodes
With Blender Geometry Nodes we can create one-, two- and three-dimensional arrays of objects, just like we created them with the Array modifier. And even better, the arrays created with Geometry Nodes do not multiply the geometry, which affects the viewport speed, memory consumption and scene size.
Charge – Blender Open Movie
Blender Studio has published another short film made entirely in Blender – “Charge”.
Film sources are opened on the Blender Studio site: https://studio.blender.org/films/charge
Wave text extrude with Blender Geometry Nodes
By combining text extrusion with a simple mathematical operation, we can get an interesting effect of volumetric text in waves.
Getting vertex weights by vertex groups
To get the mesh vertex weights as they are distributed among its vertex groups with the Blender Python API, we need to correlate the vertex group indices with the group indices of the current vertex.

Toggling between flat and smooth shading
To quickly toggle geometry shading from flat mode to smooth and back, we need to change the value of the “smooth” property for each polygon of the mesh.
Text along curve with Blender Geometry Nodes
Bending text along a curve is one of the spectacular techniques for creating various unusual and interesting inscriptions. In Blender, this can be done using Geometry Nodes.
