Ubuntu Blender batch render

Simple batch script to render multiple scene in queue.

create the script in a text file.(no extension) Name it 'testbash'. Drop it in the Ubuntu home folder.


Scene settings override:

#$ chmod +x testbash
#./testbash
VAR1="/home/loran/Documents/00-diaporama/DIAPORAMA_part1"
cd /home/loran/Documents/blender-2.80-BETA
./blender -b $VAR1/SLIDESHOW1.blend -o //render2/01/ -F JPG -s 001 -e 949 -a
./blender -b $VAR1/SLIDESHOW2.blend -o //render2/02/ -F JPG -s 001 -e 302 -a

echo "Rendus terminé le $(date)"

Use scene settings (here a mp4 video was rendered):

#$ chmod +x testbash
#./testbash
VAR1="/home/loran/Documents/00-diaporama/DIAPORAMA_part1"
cd /home/loran/Documents/blender-2.80-BETA
./blender -b $VAR1/montage.blend -o //EXPORTS/ -s 1 -e 12374 -a

 

 

Use scene settings, installed blender, folder shortcut on desktop to avoid dropbox path problem with ()

#$ chmod +x testbash
#./testbash
VAR="/home/lo/Desktop/monaco/scenes/"
blender -b $VAR/MONACO-scene3-bulles.blend -a
echo "bulles OK"
blender -b $VAR/MONACO-scene3-bulles2.blend -a
echo "bulles 2 OK"

 

 

Launch terminal (CTRL ALT T)
write:

$ chmod +x testbash

then:

./testbash
