blendersynth 0.0.1

Synthetic Rendering for Blender

BlenderSynth

Synthetic Blender pipeline - aimed at generating large synthetic datasets.

BlenderProc is an incredibly useful tool for synthetic dataset generation. We aim here to provide an alternative that is (a) more specialised for uncommon data forms, and (b) runs faster for creating large scale datasets.

We produce support for:

• Custom Shader AOVs (eg. UVs, Normals, etc.)
• Multi-threading support
• Efficient run-speed

This project is currently in Beta. Please let me know what new features you would like, or feel free to make a pull request!

Note that bsyn imports all bpy functionality, so you can call any bpy function as if you would normally.

Troubleshooting

If any issues with the Blender scripts not having the correct modules, try bsyn.fix_blender_modules(), or to completely reconfigure Blender, bsyn.fix_blender_install().
