blender-cli-rendering
Python scripts for generating scenes and rendering images using Blender from command-line interface.
Principles
- Able to run without display (thus, the renderer should be Cycles instead of EEVEE)
- Support the latest Blender release (currently 2.83)
Possible Usages
- Material to learn how to use Blender Python APIs.
- Visualization of 3D data with fancy rendering quality.
- Generation of synthetic training datasets for machine learning-based computer vision.
