Blender Icons
Blender icons are built into the executable file and are not included in its distribution separately. However, icons in the .svg format can be found in the Blender developer repository on developer.blender.org.

Using the NodeTree Source add-on for making your own add-ons
An example of using the NodeTree Source addon for creating a separate addon that builds complex node trees itself.
Blender add-ons development on Patreon
I want to try a Patreon as a supporting platform for my development add-ons for Blender 3D.
My Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/interplanety
If I achieve the first and the second “goals”, all of my Blender add-ons will be available to everyone for free.
What do you think, can this works?

How to rotate objects through the Blender Python API
For objects rotation, we can use the “rotation_euler” property. This property is a list of three items, each of them corresponds to the rotation angle around the X, Y, and Z-axis. TheĀ otation_euler[0] contains the rotation angle around the X-axis, rotation_euler[1] – around the Y-axis, and rotation_euler[2] – around the Z-axis. To rotate an object we must set a rotation angle to the appropriate field of the property.
For example, to rotate an active object around the X-axis to the 90 degrees angle we must execute the following command:
|
1 2 |
import math bpy.context.active_object.rotation_euler[0] = math.radians(90) |
math.radians is used to convert degrees to radians.
How to switch between flat and smooth shading through the Blender Python API
The flat/smooth shading mode is regulated through the “use_smooth” property of each polygon of the mesh.
To enable smooth shading we need to set the “use_smooth” property of each mesh polygon to “True”.
For active object:
|
1 |
bpy.context.object.data.polygons.foreach_set('use_smooth', [True] * len(bpy.context.object.data.polygons)) |
To enable flat shading – set the “use_smooth” property of each polygon to “False”.
|
1 |
bpy.context.object.data.polygons.foreach_set('use_smooth', [False] * len(bpy.context.object.data.polygons)) |
To make new shading mode visible – force update mesh data:
|
1 |
bpy.context.object.data.update() |
