Stuff I've been working on
Hello! Just wanted to show what I've been working on, it's my personal Blender QoL addon that has a ton of different functions (the overall project has 10k+ lines of code :D). I won't be able to show everything as a lot of stuff there is quite niche to what I'm doing for work but something that I feel quite proud of is a custom modal that allows to quickly copy materials/modifiers/etc from one object to another, a custom shader pie menu with useful shader node groups and a object viewport colour randomiser and selector. Huge thanks to this community and Victor for help:) I definitely enjoy working with Blender Python and now I have some other tools I want to develop but outside of Blender but that's a different journey it seems :D

@Valentyn Porada Simply amazing. Congratulations. I'm inspired!
Can’t make it this week 🤒
Hey everyone, Just wanted to let you know I’m still recovering and not feeling 100%, so I’ll need to sit out this week’s coffee hangout. Hope you all have a great time and a great week!

Dominoes
I’ve been playing around a bit with numpy and Blender. I’ve managed to create a scene with falling dominoes arranged in a spiral. Full disclosure – I had a bit of help from AI (ok, a lot of help from AI) in setting up the spiral and rotating the dominoes properly. But I think it looks ok. Thought people might like to see how I did it with rigidbodies. So run the script, and to see the animation, just hit the play button on the Timeline.

@Robert McBride You might be right. I actually couldn't remember if I'd manually installed NumPy or not, so I erred on the side of caution. Maybe Blender works with NumPy out of the box?

@Christian Coppes Ah, thanks for the clarification!
Greetings!
I have graphic design and programming background so learning Blender and then going on to learn Python for Blender seems a good path for me.

@Elizabeth Hamilton Welcome! I'm retired too. This site is fantastic for learning new stuff. Great community too. 😄
Capstone Project, Part 2
Here’s my Capstone Project for Part 2 of the Blender Python for Artists course. I’ve extended my Capstone Project for Part 1 to include a choice of four different types of paddock. These can be accessed from a tab in the 3D viewport window after running the script. Other than some help from Chatgtp in working with collections, everything in the script was learned from the course, including class inheritance and nested loops – all in just 393 lines of code. Had so much fun doing this, and it really solidified my understanding of the concepts. Oh, and be sure to have viewport shading set to either Material Preview or Rendered for the full-coloured effect. Also, I'd appreciate any advice on the code. Thanks!

@Christian Coppes Thanks! Oh, cool idea to have user updates. I'll investigate. Thanks. Yeah, the bricks are indeed unstable (stacked directly on top of each other). I couldn't figure out a way to stagger them. Also maybe for Part 3!

@Victor Stepanov Thanks! Yes, I'll try that.
