[Bf-committers] What documents should I read in order to embedblender?

[Wael EL ORAIBY]

Re,

Actually, there are plenty of ways to do that from within blender. You
can keep your code separate, and only use blender to do the modeling.
You can very simply write a python script that invokes your program
externally to generate the gcode for mechanical part. So basically,
you are writing an exporter, or if you need more feedback a custom
python script will do. It is even simpler than rewriting a user
interface, do all the handling and picking, etc...

Don't you agree? :-)
