I was wondering if there is a way to select blender project with just only python script.(I dont have a script and I been trying for weeks now and no result.) Like for an exmaple I have an python script that allows me to change an image on model. With a script from python without being it on python console.

Do you mean using the text editor to write and run a real script?

I mean like from the command line

I am not sure why this question was never answered.
Welcome to BlenderArtists @Nightmare_Wolf.

To:

  • Run Blender in the background
  • Run a Python script in Blender
  • Run all of this by the commandline

Windows Version

  • Put this code in a command file such as Launch.cmd
  • Tweak the %PATH% & %PY_SCRIPT% variable strings to fit your file structure
@echo off

SET PATH=blender;"C:\Program Files\Blender\blender.exe"
SET PY_SCRIPT="D:\Blender\Scripts\Launch.py"

blender -b -P %PY_SCRIPT%

pause
  • In your Launch.py put whichever code you want
print("Hello World")

It was answered, the documentation I linked is a complete explanation of command line rendering with usable examples. It’s definitely kind of you to write out an example though :slight_smile:

True, but you linked the arguments only for, “rendering” (only a few arguments).
Which respectively doesn’t even show how to run a Python script via the commandline as the OP requested.

The correct documentation would the one for all Blender application commandline arguments:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/command_line/arguments.html

Sorry if this sounds blunt.
