I'm guessing next step is to have an interface that creates py from english commands and gui.

Map Object [name button] Location popup [X,Y,Z] > Blender.Object.Get (’[name button]’).getLocation()([X,Y,Z])

Now we can pretty easily create a handheld camera shake!

What can be done with this?

I have zero programming knowledge, but I am curoius what this is capable of.
I'm decent in modeling, animation, ipo's, etc, but no python or programming languages.
Will this be of any value to me if I don't know these languages?

I'm hoping someone can explain this to me in a way that my non-programmer mind will understand.
I'm sure I am not the only one curoius about this.

Thanks for any information.

So… is there any way to bake these expressions into actual IPOs?

I'm familiar with python, its just the ipo drivers i'm not so familiar with! – blender development goes too fast for me to keep up, I still havn't got over 240/241 doh! :0

Blender.Object.Get ('plane').getLocation()(0)

I am really glad to see this. I haven't tested this, but Lox might know – will expressions like "cone.RotY = cube.LocX * 8" be allowed or am I misinterpreting the examples above?
