Search the scene¶
Objectives¶
If the objects are created, in a second step further manipulations are necessary. The next question is: Which objects are available or exists in a scene? |
Instructions¶
Tasks: |
---|
- What is possible with lists? If in doubt, have a look at Python basics: lists
- Create a script that executes the code from this station.
- Add a new object to the scene and run the script again.
Show all objects¶
In an new Blender file, in a scene some objects are placed by default. How to get a list of available objects is shown with the following script:
#!bpy
"""
Name: 'object-list.py'
Blender: 2.69
Group: 'Discover'
Tooltip: 'Find objects in a scene'
"""
import bpy
def get_list_of_objects():
""" Print list of objects in a scene """
for i in bpy.data.objects:
print(i)
if __name__ == '__main__':
# call the new function
get_list_of_objects()
The modul bpy.data contains as structure objects. From this you can get a list of objects of the context, the scene. A for loop is used to print all objects:
Result:
<bpy_struct, Object("Camera")>
<bpy_struct, Object("Cube")>
<bpy_struct, Object("Lamp")>
You can imagine, what sort of objects are available in the scene.
This is the output on a command line on windows.
