Blender Jupyter notebooks

Jupyter Notebook and Blender

2 options

Notebook controls a local Blender instance

  • have a notebook or google collab, that creates a link to a local Blender instance.
  • then in a code cell in your notebook you can run
    import bpy
bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add()

    which creates a cube in your open Blender instance.

You could have a notebook on a website or google collab, just go to a URL.
Open a local Blender, and follow along with an interactive tutorial. Just run the codecells and see the output in Blender.
