blender: Render an animation using a specific image naming pattern, in a path relative (`//`) to the .blend file.
$ blender --background ${filename}.blend --render-output //${render-frame_###-png} --render-anim
try on your machine
This command is used to render animations in Blender, a popular 3D modeling and rendering software.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
blender
: This is the executable command to launch Blender.--background
: This flag tells Blender to run in background mode, meaning it won't open a graphical user interface window.${filename}.blend
: This is the file name of the Blender project file to be rendered. The${filename}
part is typically a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file name, without the.blend
extension.--render-output
: This specifies the directory where the rendered frames of the animation should be saved.//${render-frame_###-png}
: This is the naming pattern for the rendered frames. The//
signifies that the output path is relative to the location of the.blend
file.${render-frame_###-png}
is typically a placeholder that represents the naming convention for frames, using a combination of static and dynamic values.--render-anim
: This flag tells Blender to render the animation.
In summary, this command launches Blender in background mode, loads a specific Blender project file, specifies the output directory and naming pattern for the rendered frames, and triggers the rendering of the animation.
