In addition to Weichao's code, render all categories of more view angles from ShapeNet.hhhh

Install

In addition to Weichao's, I recommend adding GNU-parallel module to speed up rendering process(OPTIONAL).

sudo apt-get parallel

Scripts added

• render_all.py

  Batch script to render all all models from all categories, use the all_views.txt file in viewpoints folder

• blender_all.py

  Fixing the lighting problem in previous blender script

• name.txt

  Listing the name of categories

Run the Code

1. In root folder, run

python render_all.py

After a few minites, you will see render_commands.txt in the root folder.

2. In root folder, run

parallel < render_commands.txt

This takes about 8 days to run in 12 cores in parallel. If you don't want it in parallel, run render commands as shell scripts.

##Output

Images will be populated in ROOT_FOLDER/images/. The filename convention is [category_id]_[model_id]_a[azimuth]_e[elevation]_t[tilt]_d[distance].png.
