blender: Render the 10th frame of an animation as a single image, saved to an existing directory (absolute path).
$ blender --background ${filename}.blend --render-output ${-path-to-output_directory} --render-frame ${10}
try on your machine

This command is likely used in the Blender software, which is a popular 3D modeling and animation tool. Let's break down the different parts of the command:

  • blender: This is the command to launch the Blender software.

  • --background: This flag indicates that Blender should run in background mode, without opening the graphical user interface (GUI).

  • ${filename}.blend: This is a placeholder for the name of the Blender project file that you want to render. The .blend extension is the standard file format used by Blender.

  • --render-output: This flag specifies the path to the output directory where the rendered frames will be saved. The ${-path-to-output_directory} is a placeholder that you should replace with the actual path to your desired output directory.

  • --render-frame: This flag indicates the specific frame number that you want to render. The ${10} is a placeholder for the frame number you want to specify. For example, if you want to render frame number 10, you should replace ${10} with 10 (without the braces).

In summary, this command is used to render a specific frame of a Blender project file in the background mode, without opening the GUI. The rendered frame will be saved in the specified output directory.
