VRED APIs

If you're looking to explore the API further, here are some basic resources to get started. The VRED Python API is available in VRED Professional and VRED Design only. Python scripting is not supported in VRED Basic.

Discover tips and methods for using the VRED Python API in your everyday development tasks. Automate scene workflows, connect to external systems, or control VRED remotely from a web app. 

Access and modify the VRED scene graph using Python API v2 services. Query objects, apply constraints, run physics simulations, or automate placement across design variants in your scripts.

Control how VRED scenes look and render using Python API v2 services. Manage materials and lights, bake textures, configure cameras, and add annotations or scene overlays from your scripts. 

Build custom VR interaction modes and manage multi-user sessions with Python API v2 services. Run immersive design reviews, sync live references from Alias, or customize the VR menu in your plug-ins. 

Load, save, and tag scene data, and automate production workflows with Python API v2 services. Sync metadata with PLM systems, batch-process files, or scale renders across a cluster.

Dive deeper into the implementation details of the VRED Python API. Understand advanced techniques for working with data types, signal, field access, and the v1 and v2 interfaces in your applications. 

Learn how to develop custom script plug-in for VRED. Follow step-by-step guides and best practices to extend and customize the functionality of VRED environment.

Explore real-world examples of scripts and plug-ins using the VRED Python API. Study these code samples to gain practical insights and inspiration for your own projects.
