Serpens Masterclass - An Add-on to make Add-ons!

Donate to help Ukraine and its people: Serpens is a node-based scripting addon for blender. It allows you to create real, installable python addons without touching a single line of code. With the guidance of Joshua, the add-on creator, we’ll be working through making a couple of new add-ons! Check out @blanchsb for more Serpens content!
