The Blender Mesh module

This module provides routines for more extensive mesh manipulation. Later, this Mesh type will also allow interactive access (like in EditMode). In the Publisher, Ngons will also be supported (and converted to triangles on mesh.update(). The following code demonstrates creation of an Ngon.

Example:

        from Blender import Mesh, Object, Scene

        m = Mesh.New()  # new empty mesh
        vlist = []
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-0.0, -1.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((1.0, 0.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((1.0, 1.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((0.0, 3.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-1.0, 2.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-3.0, 1.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-3.0, 3.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-4.0, 3.0, 0.0)))
        vlist.append(m.addVert((-4.0, 0.0, 0.0)))

        f = m.addFace(vlist)

        # do some calculations: top project vertex coordinates to
        # UV coordinates and normalize them to the square [0.0, 1.0]*[0.0, 1.0]

        uvlist = map(lambda x: (x.co[0], x.co[1]), vlist)
        maxx = max(map(lambda x: x[0], uvlist))
        maxy = max(map(lambda x: x[1], uvlist))
        minx = min(map(lambda x: x[0], uvlist))
        miny = min(map(lambda x: x[1], uvlist))

        len = max((maxx - minx), (maxy - miny))
        offx = -minx / len
        offy = -miny / len

        f.uv = map(lambda x: (x[0]/len + offx, x[1]/len + offy), uvlist)  # assign UV coordinates by 'top' projection

        m.update()  # update and triangulate mesh

        ob = Object.New('Mesh')    # create new Object
        ob.link(m)                 # link mesh data
        sc = Scene.getCurrent()    # get current Scene
        sc.link(ob)                # link Object to scene
