[Bf-committers] remote controll blender renderer renderfarm / queue

[Robert Grah]

I did it like you suggested. Started everything from the Python script. I also use the argument passing to Python.What format do you pass the arguments. Since they come in as a list I decided to bundle them with equal sign. "framestart=1"
and split them in Python. 
The last thing I am not sure about is if it is a good idea to call the blender command for each single frame or pack jobs into severall frames.
Since the background option seems to start blender really fast it might give more flexibility to restart blender every frame.


Thanks for the example!

Arguments are executed in the order given, so you could do, 
 
blender --background my.blend --python my.py --render-anim -- custom args 
 
But typically you wont want to render if the Python script has some 
exception mid-way, 
so you can call the render operator from the script: 
 
 bpy.ops.render.render(animation=True) 
 
Heres an example rendering from a script & command line (uses blender 
as a batch image processor):
