bqt.py

This is a blender startup script that allows for creating PySide2 based QtWidgets from within blender.

Requirements

Due to the release of Blender 2.83 LTS, the minimum Blender version required for bqt is 2.83. This is based on the updated python support that is now packaged with the base install.

Supported Platforms

bqt is currently in development for Windows and Darwin (MacOS), however our primary focus and main stream of support is within the Windows environment.

Installation

The installation of bqt with automatic setup for Blender requires the usage of the integrated python interpreter found within ../Blender Foundation/<version>/Python/bin

python.exe -m pip insteall bqt

Installing from Source

If you are installing from a clone of the repository you can easily install by navigating to bqt's root folder and running:

python setup.py install

To verify installation was successful, launch Blender and in the python console enter the following:

from bqt import hello_world
hello_world.demo()
