Blender Python Animations for the AEC Community 2026 version 2.0

v2 — 1,036 lines, syntax clean. Here's everything that's new:

Construction Detail

• 40 individual floor plates animate floor-by-floor up the office tower — each slab appears sequentially as the building rises
• Spandrel bands (dark reflective metal strips) mark every floor level on the curtain wall facade
• Arcade colonnade of 7 columns along the podium street edge, each appearing one by one

Site & Context

• Street grid — road surfaces, kerbs, pavement, and 10 crosswalk stripe markings
• 12 context buildings surrounding the site at varied heights, fading in during the reveal act

Rooftop Programme

• Lift overruns, mechanical plant rooms, water tanks, and solar panel arrays on both towers

Lighting & Sky

• 3-keyframe sun arc — low warm orange at dawn → golden hour → crisp blue midday, with animated dust density clearing throughout
• Sun colour and energy both animate over the 400 frames

Camera — 3 Acts over 400 frames (~16.7 sec)

• Act 1 (1–120): Ground-level construction witness with subtle handheld shake
• Act 2 (120–220): Mid-height reveal orbit as context and landscape appears
• Act 3 (220–400): Full dramatic aerial 270° orbit craning to a high zenith shot
