As someone who really struggled with Python and the Blender API a year or so ago, these videos are a life saver! I love your way of teaching. It's very clear and easy to understand :)

I am following along verbatim, step-by-step, but the monkey_grid.py is not registering, where I cannot find it in F3 menu.  In addition, when I save the file, close out, and restart blender, the monkey_grid is not found in bpy.ops.mesh nor F3 menu.  I am working with Blender 2.9.1.  Is there an update to 2.9.1 which can potentially be prevent the scripts from registering? Or, could a step be missing from the video?  Thank you in advance for your help.

Very clear, very informative! Thanks a lot Sybren!

Nice tutorial. I have a question: I want to add Suzzannes along the Z axis as well.

I came up with the following code:

count_z: bpy.props.IntProperty( name="Z", description="Number of Suzannes in the Z-direction", default=3, min=1, soft_max=10 )

def execute(self, context): for idx in range(self.count_x * self.count_y * self.count_z): x = idx % self.count_x y = idx // self.count_x z = idx // self.count_x bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_monkey_add( size=0.2, location=(x, y, z) ) This line is not producing the correct output:

z = idx // self.count_x

I will continue to experiment on my own, but I wanted to know what operation I need to use here.

Thanks again Sybren for this tutorial!

Thanx :)

Finding this whole series incredibly helpful. @Sybren A. Stüvel, you are a gifted instructor. I really appreciate how you referred back to the earlier video in this one to help solidify our understanding without introducing too many new chunks of code at once.

HI! I have the blender 2.82 and the operator monkey_grid doesnt appears in f3 and console menu. I need to save the script in a special place?

Thanks for this tuto. Could you provide more? I am especially interested in modal operators. Sometimes modal methods are combined with execute, others only invoke. For reasons I don't understand every tuto I found is about creating menus and buttons, but basic tools (e.g. transform ) running modal for good reason. I feel quite lost about this topic and I am surely not the only one.

On blender 3.0, i am having difficulty getting  the operator to register. It gives me a  console error telling me that the name is incorrect.

I have a simple code like this

import bpy class MESH_OT_pewTest(bpy.types.Operator):     """Do Something"""     bl_idname = "mesh.pewTest"     bl_label = "pew testing"          def execute(self,context):         print("pew")                  return{'FINISHED'}

def register():     bpy.utils.register_class(MESH_ODN_Connect) def unregister():     bpy.utils.unregister_class(MESH_ODN_Connect)

if name=='main':     register()
