Basic batcher

A batcher for Python.

Example

• You want to rename all meshes in Blender with a script. (Currently easier with Blender's native script editor)
• For each file in a folder, you want to open this scene, and check naming conventions.

iter input:

import pathlib;pathlib.Path("C:/my_folder").glob('**/*.blend')

script input: (pseudo code)

import bpy

bpy.load_scene(str(item))
for obj in bpy.objects:
  print(obj) # TODO check if obj is named correctly

TODO

• save job script, load job from file
• same for input / iter
• sample scenarios
  • validate scenes in a folder
  • validate scenes from a text file with scene paths
  • easily select different input configs
  • run from inside blender, validate multiple scenes. reuse existing blender for speed. if it crashes we lose progress.
  • run from outside blender, validate multiple scenes. open new blender for each
  • save progress to log
  • continue from a crash
  • read log in to see results

Dev

ensure either PySide6 or 2 is installed

Don't edit job_manager_ui.py, edit job_manager.ui instead and build the ui with (PySide6)

cd batcher
pyside6-uic job_manager.ui -o job_manager_ui.py
