I am currently working with a script that was originally written for Blender 2.49, the last part of the code is meant to copy a group of objects multiple times in a pre-arranged way
I have upgraded it into 3.0, but I am still stuck on two parts, getting the mesh data, and duplicating the objects.
I think i fixed the first part.
if obj in scndict:
oolist.append(scndict[obj].getData(mesh=1))
found = 1
I replaced oolist.append(scndict[obj].getData(mesh=1))with oolist.append(scndict[obj].data) to get the mesh data.
I tried to pass it but the objects.link only takes objects so I replaced it with oolist.append(scndict[obj])
I then tried to pass it to new_o = scn.objects.new(o) but it got an attribute error, the point of the function is to create new objects, I could not find a replacement in the new Blender API for scene.objects.new()
Therefore, to make due I replacef it with scn.collection.objects.link()
When I run it the code runs but only adds one copy to the master collection and says the object is already linked and shows no new mesh. What I seek is how to pass mesh data into an object and create multiple copies of that object. Any guidance on this would be appreciated.
Full code below
