Introducción

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high-level dynamic data types, and classes. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.

Python scripts are a versatile way to extend Blender functionality. Most areas of Blender can be scripted, including animation, rendering, import and export, object creation and automating repetitive tasks.

To interact with Blender, scripts can make use of the tightly integrated API.

Extendiendo Blender

Complementos

Add-ons are scripts that enable Blender to gain extra functionality; they can be enabled from the Preferences.

Outside of the Blender executable, there are hundreds of add-ons written by many people:

• Los complementos soportados oficialmente vienen incorporados con Blender.

• Other add-ons are provided by Blender Extensions which aren’t part of official releases. Many of them work reliably and are very useful but are not yet ensured to be stable for release.

Scripts

Apart from add-ons, there are several other types of scripts that extend Blender’s functionality:

Módulos:

Utility libraries for import into other scripts.

Preajustes:

Configuración de las herramientas y configuraciones clave de Blender.

Inicio:

These files are imported when starting Blender. They define most of Blender’s UI, as well as some additional core operators.

Scripts personalizados:

In contrast to add-ons, they are typically intended for one-time execution via the Text Editor.

Saving your own Scripts

Ubicación del archivo

All scripts are loaded from the scripts folder of the local, system and user paths.

You can setup an additional search path for scripts in Rutas de archivos Preferences ‣ File Paths.

Instalación

Add-ons are conveniently installed through Blender in the Preferences. Click the Install… button and select the .zip file.
