Using a 100% free AI agent inside VS Code, I built a Blender Python script from scratch, turned it into an operator + UI panel, and packaged it as a proper Blender extension, no paid AI tools required.

Hey all. Just looking to get into using Python to interface with Blender in a number of ways to display math but also would like to use it as bridge as well for a number of other applications like Plasticity and FreeCAD. I've used the internal scripting tab for some extremely basic stuff but I love using PyCharm for a lot of other projects so I'm pretty comfortable in that UI. One project I've been thinking of doing for a while but luckily didn't get all that far into was I wanted to update the type stub library for the Blender API (now in 5.1) for VS Code and PyCharm. But that will take a while and I have some shorter projects to finish out first.

Hey there! 👋 I’m currently using Visual Studio Code as my go-to IDE, and it’s been great. Lately, I’ve been having a lot of fun experimenting with the Neovim extension, and I’m really loving it! Since my laptop has been having trouble running Visual Studio Code, I’m thinking about switching to Neovim. What about you all?

I found something interesting for Blender Python coders > Blender Python Cheatsheet. Available are PDF and Notion link (I love Notion for notes and other stuff). This is free of course link > https://salaivv.gumroad.com/l/blender-python-cheatsheet The author also offers a book "Blender Scripting Cookbook – Recipes for the Blender Python API" but a sample chapter is available for free only link > https://salaivv.gumroad.com/l/blender-scripting-cookbook
