How to import a Python module by the absolute path
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.

To accurately align the bone of one armature with the bone of another armature, we need to correlate the global armature matrices and the local pose-bone matrices.
To do this, we need to execute the following:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
import bpy armature_to = bpy.data.objects['Armature'] armature_from = bpy.data.objects['Armature.001'] armature_from.matrix_world = armature_to.matrix_world armature_from.pose.bones[0].matrix = armature_to.pose.bones[0].matrix |
After executing this code, the first bone of the “Armature.001” will be moved to the position of the first bone of the “Armature”.

How to calculate the Bounding Sphere for selected objects
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.
