I have a property called A I have another property called ADP that stores the data path of A as a string How can I use the string data path to set property A? I could add "= myvar" to the end of the string and use exec on the new string but that's overkill I think.

I'm tried and tried and tired but I can't figure out how to make a bezier into a 3d noodle like structure. (like a tube) Instead it keeps turning out like a rectangle with corners. Also can I add branches to a bezeir. For example - one curve splitting into two. I am trying to make a tree a...

I have make a bezier tube and I want some parts of it to large and others to be small. When I try to set the depth for one of its vertices, it just changes the depth for the whole object. Is there a way to change the depth for separate parts of the bezier? I know that there is the stat and end ...

Is there an easy way to make a tree in Blender? I'd like to have branches that have smaller branches that branch off, but I don't want to go through all the trouble of modeling each branch by converting curves to mesh, then joining them, then turning them back into curves. Any suggestions?

I need the user to choose from a huge list of items. This is ugly and useless for lists longer than 100 items. I'm happy with the rest of the code. I just want a scrollable listbox really. class my_panel(Panel): bl_label = "MYPANEL" bl_idname = "SCENE_PT_mypanel" bl_space_type...

I'm working on a small post-save-hook, which is working pretty nicely only if the file is saved first and then the script is loaded later on. If I install my addon from the file and I save the currently opened new blender project I have this error: AttributeError: '_RestrictData' object has no a...

I like to create my characters in Blender with lots of individual meshes instead of just one large. However, when I am finished, I need just one mesh, as I use the result for gaming. The problem is that rigging and posing works fine, but then when I select all meshes and join them.. all binding...

I am trying to put a label over the transparent plastic bottle, but i was unable to do so, because when i build the bottle material(plastic) and mix it with the diffuse shader(using the label texture), the label gets faded. So the solution i found was to duplicate the bottle and scale a little bi...
