Getting Started

How can I use Blender with Python?

Blender has a built-in Python editor, but sometimes it’s useful to work in environments like Jupyter notebooks or VS Code notebooks.

There are two ways to use Blender in a notebook:

1. Headless Mode: In this mode, you install the Blender Python module bpy from PyPi. The Blender GUI doesn’t open, so you can run it even without a Blender installation.
2. GUI Mode: This mode uses your installed Blender version, so you can work in the Blender GUI while sending commands from the notebook.

WORK IN PROGRESS.

Probably in March 2025 there will be a new guide on how to use Blender w. Jupyter. Till then, here's the repo for further installation instructions: https://github.com/Octoframes/bpy_jupyter
