This system works outside the viewport (no viewport spesific code so any ID's can be used) You can also subscribe to changes for single ID's, The risk is that having many objects means having many subscribers, so in cases where changes to any object will do - there is no need to be spesific. (object or any other kind of ID). _______________________________________________ Bf-python mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-python
