Who I am, syllabus, calendar, website, etc
	Teams, and recurring meeting bug

3D Structures:
	Three dimensions, usually called x, y, and z
	In computer games, made of triangles
		9 coordinates per triangle
		triangles are always flat
	In movies, they're in quads
		So I hear
		Blender can turn quads into triangles

Blender:
	Blender can be used to edit these interactively
		Can also execute Python scripts
	It's gone through a few UI revisions
		I don't use it enough to know where things are in each version
		We'll be scripting it anyway

Besides the location, you might want some extra information:
	Color
	Texture Coordinates
		Normally an alternative to color
		Texture often isn't 3D, more like a sticker
		It *could* be 3D and interact with lighting
	Normal Vector
		For lighting usually

Fractals:
	CS101 example
	This is one means of generating 3D models
	Landscape algorithms, trees, etc
	Show something with my old binary tree

Python:
	Most of you probably already used it
	Very easy language to learn
	Quick language to program in
	Runs really slow
	Great for programs that won't run very often
	Also excellent for scripting
		It won't slow down a web spider

Example time:
	Let's start with the box and sphere example
	How about a staircase with a sphere at the top?
	Objects with objects in them
		Python doesn't have namespaces like C++
		bpy = "blender python"
		ops = operators
			Not operations?
			https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.ops.html
		object = object operators
		select_all = select all objects
	Blender scripts change the program state
	Think about it like operating a program rather than using a library
	Note:  Default paramters in Python
		Demo of this
	primitive_cube_add:  Lots of default arguments we'll leave alone
		We do need to set the location
	Then we need a reference to the current object
		Luckily, we just added it!
		scale is a tuple, not a function

What good is it?
	Let's see if we can import it into a game engine

This week's assignment:  Get Blender running somewhere (or decide to work in the lab) and make a script that generates a piano keyboard
