In this Blender Python Scripting Tutorial, we will be taking a quick look at Timers.
We will be creating a simple timer that will run a function once after (x) amount of time.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
The next Timer we will be taking a look at is one where we can Run a Function once, every (x) amount of seconds for (n) amount of times. With this Timer we can set how many times we want a function to run along with how quick the function is ran between intervals.
There are other example of Timers and if you want to check out the Official Blender Python Scripting Docs check the links below. If you want to see more Complex Timers be sure to let me know in the comments.

In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be looking at how we can generate a random number and then displaying that number in a Panel. We will also take a look at adding text and Icons and only displaying them based on that random number.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
There are two types of Numbers we can use, Floats and Integers. These are just fancy names for Decimal or Whole Numbers.
If you want to download the Starting Script or the Completed one you can find them in our blog post: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/10/blender-python-tutorial-how-to-generate.html

In this Live Stream we will be looking at creating a very simple Particle System to add some Fireflies or Glowflies or what ever to our shot.. We have done something similar in a previous tutorial but this time we are using Live Action Footage instead of a fully CG scene.
Once we are happy with the Particle System we can then either, Render out the Fireflies then add them to our Footage in post (Which I prefer to do) or you can compose your shot from there and when you are happy with it, Render it out.
At the End I will go back and make some adjustments and make the fireflies look more unique but if you are happy with your result be sure to post your work in our Facebook Group!..

In the last Video we reviewed the E3D Nano Printer and we used the Suzanne Monkey Head for our First Print.
In this video we will be looking at preparing the Model for printing using Blender then saving it out as an STL. Then using Cura we will slice and Add G-Code to the file and then finally printing it out.
The print needs cleaning and painting but overall I am happy with how it turned out.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and as always thanks for watching!.

In this learn python for beginners video, we will be looking at how we can print/display info/error messages.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
This can be used for a number of different things. From debugging your own work to displaying an error or info message to the user.
To do this is rather simple and if you want to follow along you can find the template script in our blog here: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/12/blender-python-tutorial-how-to-display.html
Displaying messages to the user can be really useful, especially if your add-on is context sensitive. You can quickly let the user know what they are doing wrong and inform then what they need to do.

![Blender Python Tutorial : Property Subtypes and Password Protection [learn python for beginners]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V-Bwg7O49ys/mqdefault.jpg "Blender Python Tutorial : Property Subtypes and Password Protection [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be taking a look at some different Subtypes for our Properties like Password Protection and more!.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
Simply by changing the subtype of a property can change how the property is displayed on a panel or dialog box.
In the previous video you may have seen how we changed a simple Float Vector Property into a Color (with alpha) input. If you want to follow along, you can download the template script from our blog: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/08/blender-python-tutorial-property.html
Within custom properties we can define many different arguments such as the Name, description and so on. In this example we want to focus one one argument in particular and that is the subtype. Using the Python Console we can not only find what arguments we can use but also what subtypes and more.
You will find that some subtypes are useful for certain situations and depending on what option or value you want to display, the choice will vary.Thanks to the String Subtype,
I also wanted to show you a quick way to password protect your operations or options. You could take it further and add more features to it.
