In Blender's I can add/subtract mathutils.Vector without any problems.
vec3 = vec1 - vec2 # OK return a vector
But! It's paint to multiply/divide vector. For example if i multiply vectors i'll get a float.
vec3 = vec1 * vec2 # ERROR return a float
Is there a method to multiply/divide vectors correctly? like vec1.mult(vec2) which exists in other game engines.
After a little bit of research, I concluded that the closest you can get is to use mathutils.Vector.cross() to do a cross multiplication of two vectors, or mathutils.Vector.dot() for dot multiplication; this info was gathered from The API documentation.
However, this doesn't seem to be the behavior you want - it seems you want to multiply the individual components of the vector, for which you can use something similar to this:
def mult(vec, vec2):
temp = []
for x, i in enumerate(vec):
temp.append(i * vec2[x])
return mathutils.Vector(temp)
I am amazed mathutils.Vector class does not support vector scaling by another vector!
This can be for example useful when you get scale vector from matrix decomposition and you want to scale other vectors accordingly.
This is with a generator expression for better performance:
vec3 = Vector(x * y for x, y in zip(vec1, vec2))
