Hey all,
I need help getting started with coding for Blender, the way I see it now there are three possible options:
- coding in C
- scripting with Python
- using both C and Python
I am a beginner in C++ and an intermediate in Java (just finished my first class actually, taking second next semester).
From what I can tell the C route is most powerful, but I am nowhere knowledgeable enough.
Python appears to be much easier to code in, but it limits what can be done and is slower for simulations(not going to be doing any yet…).
Some of the projects I was considering:
A better tree generator/designer (more artist friendly, easier shape control, continued editing…). For this I was considering revising the current Sapling script to save time, but it might be easier to start from scratch.
Erosion generator for meshes. Wind, rain…
Any suggestions on how to get started?
Thanks!
Gat
