sceneprogrenderer 0.1.2

A Renderer built for the SceneProg project

SceneProgRenderer

SceneProgRenderer is a Python-based Blender automation tool for rendering scenes programmatically. It allows users to generate high-quality renders, including 360-degree animations, custom camera angles, and transparent background images using Blender’s Python API.

🚀 Features

• Scene Loading & Setup

  • Clears the scene and loads a new .blend file.
  • Applies smooth shading and fixes materials.
  • Adds an environment texture for realistic lighting.

• Rendering Options

  • Single Render: Capture an image from a specified camera position.
  • Front/Top Views: Render images from standard viewpoints.
  • Corner Views: Automatically position the camera at four scene corners.
  • Edge Midpoints: Position the camera at four upper midpoints of the scene.
  • 360-Degree Animation: Generate a rotating video render.

• Supports Transparent Backgrounds

  • Renders images with RGBA and film transparency for compositing.

📦 Installation

pip install sceneprogrenderer

📜 Usage

Importing the package:

from sceneprogrenderer import SceneProgRenderer

Initializing the Renderer

renderer = SceneProgRenderer(
    resolution_x=1920,
    resolution_y=1080,
    samples=128,
    frame_rate=30,
    num_frames=360,
    cuda=False,
    verbose=False,
)

Generic Render

renderer.render(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_path="output.png",
  location=(2, 2, 2),       ## Camera location
  target=(0, 0, 0),         ## Target location
)

Render from corners or edge midpoints

renderer.render_from_corners(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_paths=["corner1.png", "corner2.png", "corner3.png", "corner4.png"],
)

renderer.render_from_edge_midpoints(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_paths=["edge1.png", "edge2.png", "edge3.png", "edge4.png"],
)

Render from front or top views

renderer.render_from_front_view(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_path="front_view.png",
)

renderer.render_from_top_view(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_path="top_view.png",
)

Render 360-degree animation

renderer.render_360_animation(
  path="scene.blend",
  output_path="360_animation.mp4",
)
