- Today I will show you the ultimate way to render scenes and environments in blender, and speed up render times to boot! It's called "Command Line Rendering" and it is awesome! This is the main way I render my scenes, and I now almost never use the built in render button!
Default Blender Location: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6
(change 3.6 to your version)
Remember "Path" must be capitalized! - บันเทิง
If anyone is having problems with the environment variables and wanting to keep multiple paths,
if you already have a path, when you click edit path, it will be shown like this below
"C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps" you want to add this at the end ; so it would be like this "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;"
hit okay and then go back to edit and then it'll will allow you to add a secondary path underneath so add for example "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.6"
and then relaunch cmd and it should work perfectly.
The same issue I was having and I was frustrated and I didn't knew what is wrong with my life and this guy just came and saved me😂
thanks a lot you really save my life!!! 🥰
Thanks for sharing this info!
My pleasure!
Thanks!
Hey pretty solid tutorials. Do i have leave blender open to use the command promt ?
Great question! Nope! This works as a separate instance, everything that it needs to run is stored in either your project .blend file, or in your blender executable folder!
Thank you, you saved my life, words so fucking well!
Would you happen to know if it works with the render addon TurboRender (when enabled)?
Excuse me, I have a big problem when I render a project, it closes the program, or when I go to the shading page, it closes the program. My device's capabilities are very good and it worked in the past but I don't know what happened. Can you help me🙏🙏?
Hi man plz did you found the solution or not?
@@mahdi6832 No Not Yet Do you Know the reason or where the problem??
@@anteracademy I solved the problem by update the driver if your computer amd go update your driver from amd
It's buggin with the Rokoko Rig addon on Blender 3.6 make sure to disable it when you render through command line! loved the video anyways thanks
Huh, that's odd, I also have the rokoko addon and have not had issues in the past, but I have not tested it out in 3.6, good to know!
how do you render animation on selected frame? do i have to like limit on certain frame in blender then render in command prompt?
The way I usually do that is by setting the start and end frames in my timeline in blender, then render via command line, but there is also a way to do it purely through command line, though I have had it bug out on me before
I will try this but my issue is it will render the image but after I close the render window blender closes autimatically! Also whenever I attempt to open a material or export my model as an obj file blender closes with no crash report I have a pretty good pc i7 quad core, 16 GBs of ram, GTX 1060 6 GBs of Vram windows 10 I have spent a, whole week trying to fix the issue with no luck I tried 3 different versions of Blender no chage same problems. i tried uninstalling And reinstalling blender 4.0. i thiught maybe my system needed some freeing up so I cleared the cache cleared my temp folder, I tried closibg pricesses in ny task bar, I used comand line blender path still no change... i will try some of your steps see if it helps.
Bro thanks because my laptop is a real piece of shit i can't render animation but able to render these images thanks
sadly cant get this to work literally followed the exact steps!!! it just tries to open blender. hope others get this working!
It either just opens a default scene or it says it cannot read the blender file (with the -f added for some reason)
hmmm, that shouldnt be happening. In general it should never open a scene if you add -b after blender. Double check your including a space between everything, and then make sure your number after -f has a space as well. If you have spaces in any of your folders, make sure to add quotes around it, eg "c:/users/test name/blenderrender.blend". If you drag it in it should auto add the brackets, but that has caused issues for me before
Had a problem with CMD not finding the .blend file. Make sure your blender file doesn’t have any spaces in the name and run it again, should fix it.
Yep! If you drag it into the command prompt, it should put quotes around the file path, which will also fix that issue! (Or you can put them in manually if it doesn’t)
I rendered with it but cannot find the rendered image, I searched the folder, where the blender file is, but it isn't there
Your output will be whatever folder you set it to be in blender the same way you would render a normal animation, by default, this is set to TEMP
just to let you know, that's not a Dash. Its a Hyphen
The more you know!
I’ve always called it a dash, I would assume most people refer to it as that colloquially more than literally, given there is no em-dash key on most keyboards without using shortcuts, but cool fact!
mine doesn't freezes it crashes every time I render something I even started hating blender cause of that
thanks. but with me my renderer is just black and empty yet All my assets are in the viewport . any help?
Is this your viewport renderer or your final render?
@@levelupvfx Final rendered ." errors initiating tile to file"
Hmmm, how full is your C: drive? Does it render normally? I’ve run into that error once and it was because my c drive only had about 10gb left. Alternatively try lowering your tile size in the settings and see if that resolves it
solved thank you. My c drive was 12gb @@levelupvfx
My whole computer keeps freezing even with this tutorial, I don't know what to do...😭💔
it seems that the particle system doesn't work if I use the command line rendering, like the rain, 😢
Often times I find particle systems that are not baked always need to have thier cache baked out first, trusting it to get live baked when it renders out can lead to some scary results
can we choose the rendered frame?
Yes, if you want to render a certain frame, instead of “-a” at the end of the terminal command, do “-f 123” (123 being whatever frame number you want, could be 1, could be 5000)
I was so heart broken that I thought my computer was too shitty to be able to render an animation I spent days on. This saved my ass. Thanks 👍
I had to add "//render" at the end to get the blend file to start rendering, otherwise it just stopped at "Reading prefs" and did nothing.
Not sure it matters but was using blender 4.0.
Nevermind. Spent hours rendering just to come back to a "cannot write tile to file 'render' doesn't exist" should have known that was a directory, either way it wouldn't start without providing one... unfortunately for me I didn't put the right one.
Yeah, without a directory, it usually writes to your temp folder on the C drive. When your C drive approaches full, usually thats when you get hit with the cannot write tile to file error
yeah mine's always set to //tmp on C, but the first time i tried it after watching it was stuck reading preferences. after adding that i thought it was a flag to render, then dawned on me it was a directory later... loved finding this because i was sick of having blender open and running when i just wanted to render. so thanks for the tip. sucks after 3 hours i'm chipping away at workarounds... even thinking of looking for a render server service at this point to get a break from blender's obtuseness, instead of trying to render on cpu for days straight. they really need some sort of precheck calculations to throw a warning before starting, but i'm no engineer... just at my wits end over a scene simpler than any i've done before that can never get enough ram@@levelupvfx
Where can I see the rendered file?
It will be in the same location that you have set inside of blender!
Where's the image?
What if you have an architectural model with multiple camera views how would you set that up .... I have 11 camera's set to different views of a large building.
The image will come out wherever you set it up in blender.
If you used multiple camera's, it will use the one you set as the "active" camera. You can use markers on your timeline to set up camera cuts/switches in blender and the command line render will take that into account.
It runs in the background with no feedback, can’t find where the file is saved as well
not sure what you mean by feedback, if you mean being able to watch it's progress, the best you'll get is the exact sample count that gets listed in the command line window. The whole point being that this is a background process which uses less resources, resulting in faster renders and less crashes.
Your file is saved to the path that you set up in blender, so that would either be the normal file output location and/or any location you set up in the compositor "file output" node
I Want To Know Where Will It Save The Rendered File
And Yes It Actually Is Working A Lot Of Commands, But It Is Making Me Look Like A Hacker 😎 😂
Your final files will be saved wherever you set up the "Output" inside of blender! Just like if you rendered it normally!
(Right side bar, output tab, underneath your resolution and frame range options)
How should i export this render
The image will come out wherever you set it up in blender in the normal file output location just like if you had rendered it the normal way.
It's still crashing :(
same here bro
Not working for me
How to do that in linux?
switch to windows lol
@@MeshDy windows is slower and have less terminal dev tools.
how render animation with this method
and where do you find end product
End product you specify within blender, it will go wherever you set it to in the normal file output area. As for animation, you do -a at the end of the command instead of -f number
