I wandered around the website provided in the link above, but didn't find a simple explanation as to what Blender is about.
Perhaps adding such an explanation to the website can be useful.
I can guess from the comments what Blender does, but I am actually not familiar with the tool. I wandered around the website provided in the link above, but didn't find a simple explanation as to what Blender is about. Perhaps adding such an explanation to the website can be useful.
- Render Engine
- Modeling, Sculpt, UV
- VFX
- Animation & Rigging
- Story Art, Drawing 2D in 3D
How much more clear could they make it?

"Modeling, Sculpt, UV Blender’s comprehensive array of modeling tools make creating, transforming and editing your models a breeze.
· Full N-Gon support · Edge slide, inset, grid and bridge fill, and more · Advanced sculpting tools and brushes · Multi-resolution and Dynamic subdivision · 3D painting with textured brushes and masking · Python scripting for custom tools and add-ons"
not sure what else they could need, it does exactly what you're asking for.
Blender is such an amazing tool. I have a side business where I create 3d printed jewelry with my customer's fingerprints on it in gold and silver ( https://lulimjewelry.com ) and I use Blender on the backend for all of the jewelry creation. I run blender headless in a docker container on google cloud run. When needed I invoke it with an image and have a blender script "engrave" that image on the jewelry and output a…

I have a question about your business. Do you 3d print metal yourself?
And the metal is actually not 3D printed. How it works is the design is printed in wax first, this wax is then used to make a plaster mould into which the molten metal is cast.
If there was a single feature I could see added to Blender, it would be to share more functionality between objects and collections. Blender has an organizational concept called objects, which are containers with position, scale, rotation, and they contain within them the mesh data. These can be warped, arrayed, cast, decimated, etc, through the use of non destructive modifiers. Now, these objects can be combined int…

I just wanted to say that your process sounds incredibly awesome. I was curious, what type of instance do you have running behind your Cloud Run job? I know rendering can be quite heavy on a CPU, but it sounds like you're running a series of commands to generate a model instead
Honestly I am running it on the lowest level instance, (1 CPU, 512 memory). And I dont actually do any rendering on this instance, just the STL generation. I use Threejs to display/render the STL once its done.

Totally agree. Some time ago I also ran Blender headless with a script to render 'product shots' of a product that is available in over hundred different combinations. What is also very nice is that you can turn on API hints when you navigate over an element in the GUI. So you can quickly learn how to access or manipulate data.
Yeah you can also have it print the python command called for every action you take in the GUI
Great to see they're working on Metal support for the viewport (and Vulkan, of course). Apple took their sweet time coming onboard as a sponsor, but now that they have I hope it will give the developers all the support they need to work out the issues.
