TIP : Rendering from the command line

You may try to render the animation in the background (Without the UI). To do so, execute blender from the terminal/console using the -b flag. For instance:

blender -b filename.blend -a

Oh nooo why? lol

Isn’t command line use like going back to DOS?

Old man befuddled by this ‘just’ type arcane bits in.

A very useful way of doing things.

Other than my laptop, I have a machine with no gui, just a terminal interface but 12 cores and an insane amount of ram.

Plus, it’s located elsewhere.

I can upload a blend file to it, tell it to render and collect the result when it’s done.
