And ig I gotta do this one as well. This is the other skill I wanted to practice. Scripting in whatever language I choose that day ig.

Today is Python.

To be honest, I get ChatGPT to write a lot of code. I’ll go in and comment it, I can read it most of the time to see what it’s doing.

I think I still gotta think like a programmer? Have to prompt ChatGPT well enough to do what I say? Maybe even have to prompt it to generate “clean” code that uses function calls for repeated tasks rather than just throwing all that shit down thousands of lines of code?

Anyways, here’s the script I used today:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

import bpy

Remove everything first (optional)

bpy.ops.object.select_all(action=’SELECT’)
bpy.ops.object.delete()

Create a base cube

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, location=(0, 0, 0))
base = bpy.context.active_object
base.name = “BaseCube”

creates the east cube

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, location=(1, 0, 0))
shaft_east = bpy.context.active_object
shaft_east.name = “Shaft_East”

defines the modifier to be added to object ‘base’, named ‘East union’

bool_mod = base.modifiers.new(name=”East_Union”, type=’BOOLEAN’)

UNION type boolean

bool_mod.operation = ‘UNION’

UNION object is the shaft_east

bool_mod.object = shaft_east

bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = base

applies the modifier

bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(modifier=bool_mod.name)
