• Starting with some basic Python skills, it’s quite simple to begin building your own interfaces in Blender. These user interfaces can be anything from a collection of operators in the toolbar to dynamic properties based on your objects. In this tutorial we’ll create a Python script that automatically generates a UI for character rigs, creating a more friendly workflow for the animator. This rig will be powered by Custom Properties on a few select bones.
• If you’re ever wondered what the “Custom Properties” are for on objects and bones, then you’re about to find out. It makes rigging all that much more powerful. The script that we’ll be writing will create two UI panels, placing them into a new toolbar tab called ‘rigs’ in the Toolbar. The first panel will dynamically loop through the bones in an armature and display any custom properties it finds as sliders. The second panel will use some user-created properties to generate a very simple visibility panel for your controls, allowing you to easily hide or show groups of bones. As a final step, we’ll convert this script into an add-on for portability and convenience, allowing you to easily share it and let other artists use it too.
• Among other things you will learn: - How to use custom properties in an animation - Find out how to use custom properties and drivers in a rig - Learn to create a UI panel in Python - UI Layout Features: prop() and operator() - Using the Edit Source Button - Using Python’s List Comprehensions - Turning a script into an dd-on

• Embark on a creative journey with the "Architectural Drawing Specialization" and unlock your potential in architectural visualization. This comprehensive course takes you from freehand sketching to advanced digital rendering, providing a well-rounded skill set for aspiring architects and designers. Discover the art of conceptual sketching, translating your abstract ideas into tangible forms while maintaining creativity and coherence. Learn to master perspective techniques, ensuring accurate representation of depth and space in your architectural drawings.
• Venture into the realm of digital sketching using Procreate, exploring tools like brushes, layers, and perspective techniques to create expressive architectural renderings. As you progress, transform your designs into visually engaging illustrations by focusing on composition, color, shading, and rendering techniques. Finally, bridge traditional hand-drawing with digital post-production in Photoshop, enhancing sketches with textures, color, and lighting for a polished presentation. Throughout the specialization, you'll benefit from the expertise of talented instructors Pavel Fomenko, Bradley Van Der Straeten, Ehab Alhariri, JJ Zanetta, Carlo Stanga, and David Drazil, ensuring a rich and diverse learning experience.

Python can be used for all kinds of things in Blender; for everything from automating tasks to creating custom UIs to developing entirely new, advanced tools like the RetopoFlow tool.

In many ways it is the advanced artists true best friend, as it allows you to push Blender much further than before and to shape it better fit your own needs and workflow. In this course you will learn how to manipulate Blender objects with handler functions. Handler functions are extremely powerful because you can use them do exactly what you want, when you want (such as moving an object on each frame change). It's possible to create this effect using functions that execute every time the frame in the current/specified Blender scene changes. When combined with the fact that we can access nearly everything in Blender through Python, the possibilities become endless.
