Module Effect

The Blender.Effect submodule

new: now Get('objname') (without specifying second paramenter: 'position') returns a list of all effects linked to object "objname".

INTRODUCTION

The module effect allows you to access all the data of an effect. An effect can modify an object (typically a mesh) in three different ways.

a) the build effect : makes the mesh appear progressively.

b) the wave effect : waves appear on the mesh (which should be fine-grained)

c) the particle effect : every vertex of the mesh emits particles, which can themselves emit new particles. This effect is the most parameterizable.

In the blender internals, the effect object is just a placeholder for the "real" effect, which can be a wave, particle or build effect. The python API follows this structure : the Effect module grants access to (the few) data which are shared between all effects. It has three submodules : Wave, Build, Particle , which grant r/w access to the real parameters of these effects.

 import Blender
       listffects = Blender.Effect.Get()
       print listeffects
       eff = listeffects[0]
       #we suppose the first effect is a build effect
       print eff.getLen()
       eff.setLen(500)
