[Bf-committers] Newbie Question. - Starting with Blender Development.

[Paolo Acampora]

Hi Kurt, to my knowledge the best we can do with modifiers in python is in
the modifier node addon

https://www.gitorious.org/blender-trunk/modifier_nodes

As you write, you can code new modifiers in C and build a custom version of
blender, there is a cookbook here

> Intodrucing me: I'm professional Developer (including C) but a Blender
> Newbie.
> Although programming is one of my main job, so Blender is a hobby for me.
> After playing with Blender for about a 3 Months I reached the
> limitations of the physics engine. (Animation)

> So I looked for a possibility to extend modifiers of Blender with python

> So here's my question:
> ======================
> *) Did I oversee a possibility to manipulate meshes per frame outside
> modifiers compiled in blender?
> *) Is there a good cookbook/example Code for creating modifiers for
> blender? (Using Ubuntu 13.10) Tips? / compilers?
> *) My plan is: Playing with Blender-Development, testing if it's
> possible to write my ideas, on success publishing the source.
> All in all i just need a little bit help and maybe contacts with
> developers.
> If im on the wrong place here - excuse me an give me hints.

> thanks.
