text-version-stamp

Source

"""A beveled 3D stamp of the running Blender version — a runnable example.

Witnesses the TextCurve data-API contract: `bpy.data.curves.new(type='FONT')`
returns a Curve subclass whose `body` is plain assignable text, whose default
font ("Bfont Regular") is always loaded even headless, and whose `extrude` /
`bevel_depth` produce exactly predictable solid geometry — the evaluated mesh
z-extent equals 2 x (extrude + bevel_depth) and the round bevel widens the
glyph outline in-plane by 2 x bevel_depth. Because the body is the live
`bpy.app.version_string`, every render self-documents which Blender made it.

Version note: the string format itself diverges — plain "5.1.2" on 5.x but
"4.5.11 LTS" on 4.5 — so the check asserts the cross-version contract
(`version_string` starts with the dotted `bpy.app.version` tuple), not an
exact format. It also witnesses the depsgraph lifetime hazard: after
`to_mesh_clear()` the returned Mesh reference is dead and any access raises
ReferenceError.

By default it runs only the correctness check (no render) — the CI smoke
check. Pass --output to also render a still:

    blender --background --python text_version_stamp.py --                 # check only
    blender --background --python text_version_stamp.py -- --output v.png  # + render
