   Yea you can make procedural 3D objects in Blender using Python, but the amount you can do will be largely based on how good at math you are (specifically; Vectors, Matrices, Sine, Cosine, Radians, Cross Product, Dot product, Euler Angles, and right triangle math). If you're still a student in school, and still have direct…
