blendersynth 0.1.0

Synthetic Rendering for Blender

Documentation | GitHub

Synthetic Blender pipeline - aimed at generating large synthetic datasets.

This library contains a collection of features for generating synthetic datasets. Compared to other tools, BlenderSynth is (a) more specialised for uncommon data formats, and (b) is designed for generating large scale datasets quickly and efficiently.

BlenderSynth provides support for:

• Custom Shader AOVs (eg. UVs, Normals, etc.)
• Fine-grained node control
• Multi-threading
• Efficient run-speed
• Multiview rendering

Usage

See documentation for installation and examples.
