blendersynth.blender.bsyn_object

Base class for all BlenderSynth objects.

class blendersynth.blender.bsyn_object.BsynObject

Generic class for BlenderSynth objects.

Assigned an .obj (eg bpy.types.Mesh for a Mesh) which is the main Blender object it represents.

animate_path(frames=(0, 250), fracs=(0, 1))

Animate object along path.

Parameters:

• frames (tuple) – tuple of keyframes to animate at - length N

• fracs (tuple) – tuple of fractions along path to animate at - length N

property axes: ndarray

Return 3x3 rotation matrix (normalized) to represent axes

follow_path(path, zero=True, animate=True, frames=(0, 250), fracs=(0, 1))

Follow path, with optional animation setting.

Parameters:

• path (Curve) – Curve object

• zero (bool) – If True, set camera location to (0, 0, 0) [aligns camera with path]

• animate (bool) – If True, animate camera along path

• frames (tuple) – tuple of keyframes to animate at - length N

• fracs (tuple) – tuple of fractions along path to animate at - length N

property location: mathutils.Vector

Location of object

property matrix_world

Return world matrix of object(s).

path_keyframe(frame, offset)

Set keyframe for camera path offset

Parameters:

• frame (int) – Frame number

• offset (float) – Offset fraction (0-1)

remove()

Delete .obj from bpy.data if it exists

render_visibility(value, frame=None)

Show/hide object in render

Parameters:

• value (bool) – True to show, False to hide

• frame (int) – Optional frame for animating

rotate_by(rotation)

Add a rotation to the object. Must be in XYZ order, euler angles, radians.

property rotation_euler: mathutils.Euler

Rotation in euler XYZ angles

scale_by(scale)

Scale object

set_dimensions(dimensions, frame=None)

Set dimensions of object.

Parameters:

• dimensions (VectorLikeOrScalar) – Dimensions to set. Either single value or 3 long vector

set_location(location, frame=None)

Set location of object.

Parameters:

• location (VectorLike) – Location vector to set

• frame (int) – Optional frame for animating

set_rotation_euler(rotation, frame=None)

Set euler rotation of object.

Parameters:

• rotation (VectorLike) – Rotation vector

set_scale(scale, frame=None)

Set scale of object.

Parameters:

• scale (VectorLikeOrScalar) – Scale to set. Either single value or 3 long vector

• frame (int) – Optional frame for animating

track_to(obj)

Track to object.

Parameters:

obj (Union[BsynObject, Object]) – BsynObject or Blender Object to track to

translate(translation)

Translate object

untrack()

Remove track to constraint from object

viewport_visibility(value, frame=None)

Show/hide object in viewport

Parameters:

• value (bool) – True to show, False to hide

• frame (int) – Optional frame for animating
