BlenderPhong

A Blender python script to render an 3D model object by Phong Shading from several viewpoints. We currently support .obj, .stl, and .off files.

This is an output from airplane.off:

We use blender-off-addon for off importing support.

Requirements

Blender

Usage

Run with Blender

blender phong.blend --background --python phong.py -- <model file> <output dir>

eg. (see sample_run.sh)

# remove "--background" if you want to see the GPI
blender phong.blend --background --python phong.py -- ./airplane.off ./

phong.blend is a scene file that has no default objects. (In a new Blender scene, there is a cube. I just removed it and saved the scene.)

Multiple models

Edit models.txt to build a list of models you want to render. See sample_run_multiple.sh

blender phong.blend --background --python phong_multi.py -- models.txt ./tmp

Edit the viewpoints:

Edit cameras in phong.py to render from different viewpoints. See the code for more details.
