Parameters:

• type (string) - The Object type: 'Armature', 'Camera', 'Curve', 'Lamp', 'Lattice', 'Mball', 'Mesh', 'Surf' or 'Empty'.
• name (string) - The name of the object. By default, the name will be the same as the object type. If the name is already in use, this new object will have a number at the end of the name.

Returns:

The created Object.

Example:

The example below creates a new Lamp object and puts it at the default location (0, 0, 0) in the current scene:

       import Blender

       object = Blender.Object.New('Lamp')
       lamp = Blender.Lamp.New('Spot')
       object.link(lamp)
       sce = Blender.Scene.GetCurrent()
       sce.link(object)

       Blender.Redraw()

Parameters:

• name (string) - The name of the requested Object.

Returns:

It depends on the 'name' parameter:

• (name): The Object with the given name;
• (): A list with all Objects in the current scene.

Example 1:

The example below works on the default scene. The script returns the plane object and prints the location of the plane:

       import Blender

       object = Blender.Object.Get ('plane')
       print object.getLocation()

Example 2:

The example below works on the default scene. The script returns all objects in the scene and prints the list of object names:

       import Blender

       objects = Blender.Object.Get ()
       print objects

Returns:

A list of all selected Objects in the current scene.

Example:

The example below works on the default scene. Select one or more objects and the script will print the selected objects:

       import Blender

       objects = Blender.Object.GetSelected()
       print objects

Duplicate selected objects on visible layers from Blenders current scene, de-selecting the currently visible, selected objects and making a copy where all new objects are selected. By default no data linked to the object is duplicated; use the keyword arguments to change this. Object.GetSelected() will return the list of objects resulting from duplication.

Parameters:

• mesh (bool) - When non-zero, mesh object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• surface (bool) - When non-zero, surface object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• curve (bool) - When non-zero, curve object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• text (bool) - When non-zero, text object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• metaball (bool) - When non-zero, metaball object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• armature (bool) - When non-zero, armature object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• lamp (bool) - When non-zero, lamp object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• material (bool) - When non-zero, materials used by the object or its object data will be duplicated with the objects.
• texture (bool) - When non-zero, texture data used by the object's materials will be duplicated with the objects.

• ipo (bool) - When non-zero, Ipo data linked to the object will be duplicated with the objects.

  Example:

  The example below creates duplicates the active object 10 times and moves each object 1.0 on the X axis:

         import Blender
  
         scn = Scene.GetCurrent()
         ob_act = scn.objects.active
         
         # Unselect all
         scn.objects.selected = []
         ob_act.sel = 1
         
         for x in xrange(10):
                         Blender.Object.Duplicate() # Duplicate linked
                         ob_act = scn.objects.active
                         ob_act.LocX += 1
         Blender.Redraw()
