In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be creating a Custom Node Group (for the compositor) with Python. Custom Node Groups are essentially a bunch of nodes grouped together inside a single node.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
If you want to download the Finished Template you can find the link in our blog.
We first need to create a test panel and then we can define the Custom Node Group, then we can tie it all in with an operator. If you followed along in the previous videos, you will have everything you need to get started.
I hope you found this Blender Python Tutorial helpful and as always thanks for watching!

![Blender Python Tutorial : Enumerator / Drop down Menu [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be taking a look at an Enumerator also known as a drop down menu.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
We will be using a template script that has a simple Panel and a blank Pop up Dialog Box Operator. If you want to download the starting script and follow along you can download it here: https://pastebin.com/JEdsTr61
Using the Enumerator we can give the user a list of options. In this example we give the User the option to choose from three different basic options. You can take this further and create more complex presets. For example, the Text Tool addon has some presets that have several lines of code to achieve the effect.
If you want to download the Text Tool Addon you can find the link in our blog here: https://darkfallblender.blogspot.com/2020/04/blender-add-on-text-tool-version-103.html

![Unreal Engine 4: Part 6 - Player Objectives and Description [Missions or Quests]
In this video. we look at creating a basic player objective system. So no matter the Mission/objective, we can push the Player to areas, puzzles and other things we want the player to do.
We can display the Players current objective in the HUD along with the Objective description but I decided not to include the Objective description to the HUD (since its rather a lot of text on the screen). Instead, I will be adding it to the Journal (which we will be creating in the next part).
With this basic system, we can tell the player to do something and when they interact or complete their Objective we can easily give them new ones.

![Blender Addon - Text tool: Update Version 1.02 [Auto Italic, Typewriter Animation]
Hey everyone, I first, just wanted to acknowledge the fact that we have now reached over 10,000 subscribers!.. Thanks to everyone who, shared, commented and liked these videos.. Your support really makes all the effort I put in to these videos, worth while..
Now in this video, we will be taking a look at the update version 1.02 for the Text Tool Add-on. I have added an option called Auto Italic, when adding text you can check the box and your text will be in Italic.
Download link can be found in or blog.
The Other addition I made was to add the Animation Section (though right now there is only one animation, I will be adding many more as we develop this add-on).
The Typewriter / Scrolling Text Effect is the first Animation in our arsenal, and I have done a tutorial on how to do this in blender in the past. With this add-on, it takes out the hassle of setting up your modifiers, converting your mesh and other minor Font Options.
I still have lots of suggestions from you guys and I have not forgotten about them. I am working on a number of things. It takes time to implement everything. I hope you find this update helpful and as always, thanks for watching!.

![How to Publish an Android App on the Amazon Appstore [Part 2 of 2]
In the last video we created an Android App using the Appsgeyser Website.
To publish our application is really simple, after you have entered the information about your Application you can then upload the APK file. Then you can submit your app for review. This process is to ensure your app does no violate anything and to make sure it will work. If everything checks out, your app will be live within 24hrs.
appsgeyser provides us with a step by step guide that shows exactly what needs to be done in order for your app to pass the submission process.
I have enjoyed using Appsgeyser, not only is it fun d easy to use but it was super helpful with everything from the start.

![Blender Python Tutorial : Custom Drawing / Layout Improvements [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender Python Tutorial, we will be looking at improving the layouts of our Operators/Panels.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
If you want to download the Finished result, you can find the Download link in our blog!.
By default, operator properties use an automatic user interface layout.
If you need more control you can create your own layout Function. It works like the Menu and Panel Draw Function.
There are many ways in which we can alter or change the layout of our operator and I just wanted to share some basic improvements to make our Operators and Panels look much better.

![Blender Python Tutorial: Why is it not Working? : Episode 2 [learn python for beginners]
In this Blender python tutorial, we will be doing another Why is it not working? thanks to a question I get asked quite frequently. How can I add other things to my Panel.
Looking to learn Python for beginners? You are in the right place. Be sure to check out the Scripting Playlist!.
We will be adding some Particle System Properties to our Panel. We can easily find out how to do this by checking out the Info Window as we actually change the options manually.
Once we know where the options or Properties live we can then reference them in our Panel and bring over as much or as little as we want.
Having your commonly used tools and properties at hand is not only easy to do but is a great way to speed up your Blender workflow.
You can download the Basic Template or you can download the finished script in our blog post.
I hope you find this video helpful and as always thanks for Watching!.

![[3D Printing] Pirate Coins
In this Video, we will be creating pirate coins or at least a coin with a skull on them.
I then Printed them out and coated them with Gold Leaf (though you might want to try gold spray paint). I wanted the coins to look worn and with a touch of paint, I think we achieved that.
