Rules Blender

This repository provides a set of Bazel rules to render Blender files.

Setup

Add the following to your project's WORKSPACE:

http_archive(
    name = "rules_blender",
    sha256 = "REPLACE WITH SHA",
    urls = ["REPLACE WITH GITHUB ZIP URL"],
)

load("@rules_blender//:repositories.bzl", "rules_blender_dependencies")

rules_blender_dependencies()

register_toolchains(
    "@rules_blender//tools:rules_blender_linux_64_toolchain",
)

Usage

After including rules_blender in your project you can use these rules to transform Blender files into rasterized images:

load("@rules_blender//:blender.bzl", "blender_image", "blender_video")

blender_image(
    name = "rendered_frame",
    srcs = "//:my_file.blend",
    frame = 5,
)

blender_video(
    name = "rendered_video",
    srcs = "//:my_file.blend",
    end_frame = 240,
    framerate = 24,
)

See the examples directory for more details!
