Module MeshPrimitives

Module MeshPrimitives

The Blender.Mesh.Primitives submodule.

New:

Mesh Primitive Data

This submodule provides access Blender's mesh primitives. Each module function returns a BPy_Mesh object which wraps the mesh data. This data can then be manipulated using the Mesh API.

Example:

 from Blender import *

 me = Mesh.Primitives.Cube(2.0)   # create a new cube of size 2
 ob = Object.New('Mesh')          # create a new mesh-type object
 ob.link(me)                      # link mesh datablock with object
 sc = Scene.GetCurrent()          # get current scene
 sc.link(ob)                      # add object to the scene
 Window.RedrawAll()               # update windows

Parameters:: verts - optional number of vertices in the cylinder's perimeter. Value must be in the range [3,100].
(type=int); diameter - optional diameter of the cylinder.
(type=float); length - optional length of the cylinder.
(type=float)

Returns:: returns a mesh object.
(type=BPy_Mesh)

Grid(xres=32, yres=32, size=2.0)

Construct a grid mesh. The defaults create a 32 by 32 mesh of size 2 Blender units, identical to the Blender UI.

Parameters:: xres - optional grid size in the x direction. Value must be in the range [2,100].
(type=int); yres - optional grid size in the y direction. Value must be in the range [2,100].
(type=int); size - optional size of the grid.
(type=float)

Returns:: returns a mesh object.
(type=BPy_Mesh)

Icosphere(subdivisions=2, diameter=2.8282400000000001)

Construct a Icosphere mesh. The defaults create sphere with 2 subdivisions and diameter of 2*sqrt(2) Blender units, identical to the Blender UI.

Parameters:: subdivisions - optional number of subdivisions. Value must be in the range [2,5].
(type=int); diameter - optional diameter of the sphere.

Returns:: returns a mesh object.
(type=BPy_Mesh)

Monkey()

Construct a Suzanne mesh.

Returns:: returns a mesh object.
(type=BPy_Mesh)

Plane(size=2.0)

Construct a filled planar mesh with 4 vertices. The default size creates a 2 by 2 Blender unit plane, identical to the Blender UI.

Parameters:: size - optional size of the plane.
(type=float)
