Overview

This directory contains an example of how to use drake-blender in your own code.

TODO(jwnimmer-tri) Add more examples!

Ball Bin example

This shows how to use the Drake Simulator to create videos of a dynamic scene, where moving objects (some balls) and a fixed object (a bin) are simulated by Drake and the static visual background (a room with custom lighting) is provided by a Blender file.

blender_camera.mp4

From the root directory of the drake-blender source checkout, run:

$ ./bazel run //examples:ball_bin

This will create videos named blender_camera.mp4 and vtk_camera.mp4. The blender-rendered video will show the balls, bin, and room in the background. The VTK-rendered video will show only the balls and bin. Expect the video rendering to take 5 minutes or longer.

To create a single photo instead of a movie, use --still:

$ ./bazel run //examples:ball_bin -- --still

Thanks to Ramil Roosileht (https://twitter.com/limarest_art) for creating the blender scene we use (from https://www.blender.org/download/demo-files/).
