Abstract

With the rapid growth of the volume of research fields like computer vision
and computer graphics, researchers require effective and user-friendly
rendering tools to visualize results. While advanced tools like Blender offer
powerful capabilities, they also require a significant effort to master. This
technical report introduces Blendify, a lightweight Python-based framework that
seamlessly integrates with Blender, providing a high-level API for scene
creation and rendering. Blendify reduces the complexity of working with
Blender's native API by automating object creation, handling the colors and
material linking, and implementing features such as shadow-catcher objects
while maintaining support for high-quality ray-tracing rendering output. With a
focus on usability Blendify enables efficient and flexible rendering workflow
for rendering in common computer vision and computer graphics use cases. The
