Module Scene

The Blender.Scene submodule.

• Scene.clearScriptLinks accepts a parameter now.
• acess methods Scene.getLayers, Scene.setLayers via lists to complement the layers and Layers Scene attributes which use bitmasks.
• Scene.getActiveObject method.

Scene

This module provides access to Scenes in Blender.

 import Blender
 from Blender import Scene, Object, Camera
 #
 camdata = Camera.New('ortho')           # create new camera data
 camdata.setName('newCam')
 camdata.setLens(16.0)
 scene = Scene.New('NewScene')           # create a new scene
 camobj = Object.New('Camera')           # create a new camera object
 camobj.link(camdata)                    # (*) link data to object first
 scene.link(camobj)                      # and then link object to scene
 scene.makeCurrent()                     # make this the current scene

Warning: as done in the example (*), it's recommended to first link object data to objects and only after that link objects to scene. This is because if there is no object data linked to an object ob, scene.link(ob) will automatically create the missing data. This is OK on its own, but if after that this object is linked to obdata, the automatically created one will be discarded -- as expected -- but will stay in Blender's memory space until the program is exited, since Blender doesn't really get rid of most kinds of data. So first linking ObData to object, then object to scene is a tiny tiny bit faster than the other way around and also saves some realtime memory (if many objects are created from scripts, the savings become important).
