Headless Blender

This repository is an experimental side project to determine the feasibility of running Blender in headless mode, without a graphical user interface (GUI), while still being able to render images and run simulations.

Quick Start

1. Open the project via the Poetry shell: poetry shell
2. Install the project dependencies: poetry install
3. Run the example server: uvicorn headless_blender.server:app --reload
4. Test the health check: curl http://localhost:8000/health
5. Import the API specs into Hoppscotch and use the API accordingly

Docker

1. Build the Docker image: docker build -t headless-blender .
2. Run the Docker container: docker run -p 8000:8000 headless-blender
3. Test the health check: curl http://localhost:8000/health
4. Import the API specs into Hoppscotch and use the API accordingly
