blender: Render the animation of a specific scene, starting at frame 10 and ending at frame 500.
$ blender --background ${filename}.blend --scene ${scene_name} --frame-start ${10} -e ${500} --render-anim
try on your machine
This command is the command line instruction for running Blender in the background to render an animation.
Let's break down each part of the command:
blender
: This is the command to run the Blender application.--background
: This flag tells Blender to run in the background mode, without opening a graphical user interface (GUI).${filename}.blend
: This is a placeholder for the filename of the Blender project file. It will be replaced with the actual filename and extension, e.g., "project.blend".--scene
: This flag is followed by the name of the scene within the Blender project that you want to render.${scene_name}
: This is a placeholder for the name of the scene. It will be replaced with the actual scene name you want to render, e.g., "Scene001".--frame-start
: This flag indicates the starting frame of the animation.${10}
: This is a placeholder for the starting frame number. It will be replaced with the actual frame number you want to start the animation from, e.g., "1".-e
: This flag indicates the end frame of the animation.${500}
: This is a placeholder for the end frame number. It will be replaced with the actual frame number you want to end the animation at, e.g., "100".--render-anim
: This flag tells Blender to render the animation rather than a single frame.
By running this command, Blender will start in the background mode, load the specified Blender project file with the specified scene, set the starting and ending frames for the animation, and then proceed to render the animation without any GUI interaction.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
