This is an extremely simple little blender render server. It accepts a POST request on port 1212 at the create_model endpoint. A request to this endpoint returns a binary blob of the GLB file for the model produced by that code. The JSON paylod for the request must contain the key "model_code" with a string value containing a string of python code for rendering a model.

The code given must contain a function with the signature model() -> bpy.types.Object.

Example usage

As an example, this container can be used to create a simple model of a cube using the following command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1212/create_model -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model_code":"def model(): bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, enter_editmode=False, location=(0, 0, 0)); return bpy.context.object"}' --output model.glb

Included libraries

The modelling environment includes the following libraries to facilitate modelling:

bpy
bmesh
mathutils
numpy
scipy
trimesh
