I am posting to ask for guidance in whether or not Blender is the right tool for me to use.
I’m looking for a way to create renders, vector illustrations, and animations using python, preferably with a lot of control over the various settings and options, and to be able to automate it completely.
I am not interested in a GUI, and would like to find something that can be run from command line. I would be importing geometry created in other programs, so I would have no need to model things by hand.
question for ideasman42: I can’t make the Blender as Pymodule…I’ve followed your example on a windows machine and when I reach to the step to run cmake from command line windows say that “cmake is not recognized as an internal or external command”
@sapro80, this is a build issue, I never had the problem but it isn’t specific to blender, you should be able to find info on how to resolve by looking up general cmake mailing lists and documentation.
@sapro80 probably cmake directory is not in your ambient variables. Just type the full path to cmake, or add it in my computer-> properties-> advanced system settings -> ambient variables (the names can be different since my os isn’t in english)
since i use windows i run cmake normaly(not from command line) and i manage to compile something…but now i have another problem…I use Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 express to build blender…but I didn’t understand what file should i build…first i try to build a blender.sln file and it give me some errors and when finish I didn’t find any bpy.pyd file…I try to build an install.vcxproj and same result…can you help with this please???
New Text Document.pdf (198 KB)still the same effect…after building results 2 directoty: bin and lib…in the bin directory can’t find any bpy.pyd. there are 2 files named bpy.idb and bpy.pdb…i attache the building results…it’s seems that can’t find some files
