MeshDiffusion/blender_viz/README.md

Usage

1. Download Blender and unzip to $PATH_TO_BLENDER. We used Blender 3.3.0.
2. Clone https://github.com/HTDerekLiu/BlenderToolbox under $BLENDER_PATH
3. In blender_script.py, set BLENDER_PATH accordingly. Also set mesh_folder_path and output_path to the source mesh folder path and the desired output path.
4. Change the scale and orientation of the mesh to render in blender_script.py if necessary
5. Optionally, change the number of samples (num_samples) in blender_viz to balance between speed and quality
6. Run $PATH_TO_BLENDER/blender --background --python ./blender_script.py
