blender: Render all frames of an animation in the background, without loading the UI (output is saved to `/tmp`).
$ blender --background ${filename}.blend --render-anim
try on your machine
This command is using the software "Blender" to perform a task in the background mode. Here's a breakdown of the elements:
- "blender": This is the command that executes the Blender software.
- "--background": It specifies that Blender should run in a background mode, meaning it won't show the graphical user interface (GUI) while performing the task.
- "${filename}.blend": The dollar sign ($) is often used to represent a variable in command lines. In this case, it suggests that the filename is a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the Blender file you want to use. The ".blend" extension indicates that it is a Blender file.
- "--render-anim": This flag instructs Blender to render an animation based on the provided Blender file.
Overall, when you run this command in a terminal or command prompt, Blender will start in the background, load the specified Blender file, and proceed to render the animation defined in that file.
