Blender Scripting

Overview

Automate Blender tasks using Python and the bpy API. Run scripts headlessly from the terminal to manipulate scenes, batch process files, import/export models, and build 3D pipelines without opening the GUI.

Instructions

1. Run a Blender script from the terminal

# Run a script in background mode (no GUI)
blender --background --python script.py

# Run with a specific .blend file
blender myfile.blend --background --python script.py

# Pass custom arguments (use -- to separate Blender args from script args)
blender --background --python script.py -- --output /tmp/result.png --scale 2.0
