Software development.
Software development is an essential skill if you want to avoid repetitious work. My preferred programming language is Python because of it’s versatility and it’s huge library of quality modules that are available and covers almost any functionality needed. I have been working in software development for many years and have a very broad profile and part of that is of course automation in the 3d pipeline.
Most of the programming I do in Blender is internal to Blender, meaning that I automate tedious repetitive work on large datasets. the example below is also doing that but in addition the data was fetched from readily available blockchain REST API’s and converted to 3 dimensional graphs in one single procedure call.
