Jupyter notebook to run Blender on Google Colab to render your files with a GPU in the cloud, based on donmahallem's version, modified with my own take and improvements.

Blender On Google Colab

This is a Google Colab Python Notebook which can be used to render blender files with a GPU in the cloud, based on donmahallem's repo with some changes.
Run this directly as is on Google Colab by clicking the following button:

Instructions

First of all: You will need to own a Google Account!

Once you are logged in you either upload the script found here to Google Colab or just use the Open in colab Badge above.

Now you will need to upload your .blend file and all needed separate assets to Google Drive (either via the web GUI or desktop application).

Once done, insert your .blend files name and path into the specified script fields and run the script.

You will be prompted to authorize that Colab will need access to your Google Drive.

Other runtimes

This script is not exclusive to Google Colab but might need minor modifications to be able to run.

Appendix

This script/repository isn't associated with Google Colab or Google in any way!

I keep this separate and not a fork because this is my own take as I moved things around and the changes were initially only for my own use. Some changes may later be submitted as pull requests to donmahallem's repo.
