Python driven Blender

• Getting started

1. To craft a scene using Python scripts, it is imperative to start Blender from within a terminal. This is the only way that you can see error messages generated by Blender's engine and any output generated by your print statements. In Mac OSX, edit a file called startBlender.command and enter the following into it.

#!/bin/sh
/Applications/Blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender

In Finder, double click on startBlender.command. Blender should launch together with a Terminal.app.
