node-blender-renderer

A blender renderer that allows you to render a blender file on a remote machine

Dependencies

• FFMPEG
• Blender (the CLI, use this link and add to path)

Install

sudo npm install -g node-blender-renderer

Running

run sudo blender-renderer <port> on the remote machine (for example, a raspberry pi in your network) and navigate to the returned ip address. Upload your .blend file there and allow it to process. When it is done, the .mp4 file will be downloaded to your computer.

Notes

• Will not work over the internet, only on the local network, unless you do some fancy port forwarding
