Creative Coding with Blender

A collection of Blender creative coding experiments

So, Processing has Python Mode, which is a fantastic entry point into the world of creative coding. You won't outgrow Processing, but you might have the urge to delve into some more advanced 3D stuff---metaballs, particle systems, rigid-body/fluid/cloth dynamics, volumetrics, and so forth. The popular open-source 3D graphics package, Blender, offers all that with a Python scripting interface.

Sound exciting? You can get started now.
