drake-blender is an implementation of the Drake
glTF Render Client-Server API
atop
Blender.
This is a relatively new project and may still have bugs. Please share your issues and improvements on GitHub.
This software is only tested on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy", but should probably
work with any Python interpreter that supports our requirements.txt.
There are two ways to run the server.
(1) From a git checkout of drake-blender:
./bazel run :serverThis way has no extra setup steps. It will automatically download the required dependencies into the Bazel sandbox, using the same versions as pinned by our requirements lockfile that is tested in our Continuous Integration build.
(2) From your own virtual environment:
The server.py file is self-contained -- it does not import any other files
from drake-blender. Instead of using Bazel, you can also run it as a standalone
Python program (python3 server.py) so long as the packages listed in our
requirements.in are available in your Python runtime environment. You are
responsible for preparing and activating an appropriate virtual environment on
your own.
See examples.
