Blender Rendering From the Command Line
Hey guys, In this tutorial I will be teaching you guys how to render in Blender by using the command line. Why would you render by using the command line? Simple, the render time is a lot less. I recommend that you use the command line for the final render. Here is the render time difference for a scene by using the command line and the gui.
Rendertime Comparison
Samples | Resolution | Render time |
---|---|---|
2000 | 950*272 | 6:21.32 (Blender GUI) |
2000 | 950*272 | 6:18.48 (Command Line) |
Render an Image:
cd [blender directory]
blender.exe –b [directory of file] –o [output] –f [frame number]
Render a Video:
cd [blender directory]
blender.exe –b [directory of file] –o [output] –s [start frame] –e [end frame] –a
