Folder structure

• Sort all the blend files in their corresponding folders
• Render to a specific path based on the model's name
• Develop a folder structure that allows for an editorial process

Inside Blender

• Make an environment that allows the model and light to rotate per increment
• Lock the model in the bounding box
• The bounding box is scaled up to the frame plus 10 pixels to the edge of the image

• Visual style should be monochrome, black and white.
• Shader should look consistent among different kinds of creatures.
• Renders should be transparent or on a white background
• Blender should rotate the camera 8 times around the model
• The model should fit in the entire image minus 10 pixels
• Rendered images should be lossless pngs
• It should be implemented in either jpeg or webp (needs further discussion as of time writing)

Geo nodes setup provided by Sas van Gulik

Currently this loads the merged STL files, which has the base baked into the model.

The source includes .blender files that have the base as a separate object. It would be preferable to render these without the base for two reasons:

• they don't look like miniatures.
• the native blender files are more optimized and have more information, which should speed up processing

Here is an example .blender file to use for testing.
