Loops! Python has multiple ways to loop. In this chapter of Scripting for Artists, Sybren explains how to choose between 'for' and 'while' loops.

  • For and While side-by-side: 00:34
  • Subdividing until there are enough vertices: 1:44
  • Preventing infinite loops: 05:42
  • Converting the While to a For: 7:04

Just a suggestion for future tutorial subjects (maybe not the right place): Best ways to handle context error and make context override when an operator fail to run from text editor. I think it might be usefull for a bunch of us ;). Your video are well made and I particularly like the suggestions of code flow like flipping conditions and such. Keep up !
