Hi,
These are a couple of tips i'm finding helpful when doing artist scripting in Blender:
- making a numbered list of the steps want to do before start coding
- doing some simple background research in the area want to script in. for example using most simplified blender scene to practice concept. Then jot down code snippet from that exploration in a text file named for concept area.
- using info panel and python console to learn more about area want to script. for example practicing drivers, or shapekeys etc. creating concept by hand first before coding.
Hope these are helpful.
Happy Scripting!
Nate
