Command-line interface to the Blender 3D computer graphics application. Arguments are executed in the order they are given. More information: https://manned.org/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
- 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
- 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}}
- Render the second last frame in an animation as a JPEG image, saved to an existing directory (relative path):
blender --background {{filename}}.blend --render-output //{{output_directory}} --render-frame {{JPEG}} --render-frame {{-2}}
- 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
- Render an animation at a specific resolution, by passing a Python expression:
blender --background {{filename}}.blend --python-expr '{{import bpy; bpy.data.scenes[0].render.resolution_percentage = 25}}' --render-anim
- Start an interactive Blender session in the terminal with a python console (do
import bpy
after starting):blender --background --python-console
