Ive been using the skybrush add on for blender thats designed for drone shows and its been great but im just not that familiar with blender. Im learning though!
Hi Jeffod12, i haven’t figured a good business case for that, but we can always explore this further. The scripts are 100% blender / python based, not related to skybrush or Vimdrones. Would you care to have a chat and see where we can take this?
@@henkkok9437 Yeah so long as you don't loop through the numpy arrays using Python. Certain inbuilt operations with Numpy are quicker than raw Python (like mass multiplying an array by another or something), but for loops through them are very slow. Numpy arrays' addresses are easy to pass to C functions though and pure C is faster than anything I've tested Numpy's inbuilt methods against when doing the same operations. Thing is, if there's a bunch of Python methods that have to be called in a loop then using ctypes may not be feasible.
Haha, ok ok, perhaps as a generalised statement that don't quite work now does it? 🙂 For me, trying something and getting clear results (failure or success) is pretty fun. Blender and Python together kind of give that. It's like a minigame, it's clear and direct. And when it works, Its so much less clicking and more creating, which makes it fun to do. (For this individual at least)
Fantastic to see you talk about this Henk!
You created a feeling in me to learn vital scripting as soon as possible❤🎉
Quite mind-blowing
Interesting !!
Amazing!
Thank you Hugo, great to hear! If you have any questions i’d be happy to answer them. Either way glad you enjoyed the presentation
wow.this is another beautiful warm hole.i kind like it thou its nichey

do you use ardupilot or px4?
@henk kok - Do you sell your scripts? Do they work with SkyBrush or Vimdrones or Either?

Please make it as a plugin and sell it on the blender market or gumroad and so forth
Python is mega slow at looping....any way to speed this up with ctypes or something?
Yeah, thats a great idea.
Numpy works well too to help speed the intensive parts up.

CRAZY AMAZING !!!
Did he rly say "it's fun to do python and development " 😮😮😮

This has to be one of the most useless talk i've seen. Nothing taught, nothing shared, just go learn python.. less clicking more creating?? seriously?
Hi Quadrivium, hmm, fair enough, I think I see your point.
Let me get back to you on this, got an idea.
@@henkkok9437 Hi Henk, Are you able to share the project files from this presentation?
