Command Port addon for Blender.
Open User Preferences and click Install from File under Add-ons. Then navigate to the downloaded zip archive of this plugin and select it.
Command port can be configured and started from a Blender Command Port section of "Data" panel.
Command should be sent to command port as a text. It can be also done sent from Python:
import socket
def send_command(command):
clientsocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
clientsocket.connect(('localhost', 5000))
clientsocket.sendall(command.encode())
while True:
res = clientsocket.recv(4096)
if not res:
break
print(res.decode())
clientsocket.close()
send_command("""
j = 0
for i in range(10):
print(j)
j+=i*2
j
""")
The following json code can be pasted into a task.json file to add an 'Execute Script in Blender' task to VS Code.
{
// See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
// for the documentation about the tasks.json format
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
{
"label": "Execute Script in Blender",
"type": "shell",
"command": "python",
"args": [
"${env:APPDATA}/Blender Foundation/Blender/2.82/scripts/addons/blender_command_port/execute_file_in_blender.py",
"${file}",
"5000"
],
"presentation": {
"reveal": "always",
"panel": "new"
},
"problemMatcher": []
}
]
}
Another way is to use execute_file_in_blender.py script to create a run configuration in PyCharm that executes a file in Blender. Path to a file must be passed as a first script parameter, port need to be passed as a second one.
