Hi, Python is a programming language that Blender has support for so that you can write your own modules. The -v means run Blender from the command line with the -v switch (i.e., '/usr/local/bin/blender -v' -- or wherever you have Blender installed) to see a verbose output of all runtime messages. You can also do a google for Python and download/install v2.4 or higher for your OS. If you don't have Python, it just means you can't take advantage of external modules written in Python. :) Alex stan koprowski wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to Blender and the group.
