Hi guys,
I am trying to setup blender in a vfx pipeline where we use linux.
We have a bunch of scripts the set variables for each software once you are in a job environment. So each shot, has its each individual paths set by environment variables.
My first question:
1 .Setting up Blender Environment Variables.
These ones are the ones found in blender -h and manual for 2.6. But I am not sure if they are necessary or right. I would like to have a confirmation on that. I've changed the values to fit my script's logic.
export BLENDER_TEMP=${TMP}
export BLENDER_SHARE=${CE_OPT_DIR}/blender${VER}
export BLENDER_VERSION=${VER:0:4} # getting only first 4 indexes of the variable as Blender version has 5 digits: 2.64a >> Needs only 2.64
export BLENDER_USER_BASE=${HOME}/.blender/${BLENDER_VERSION}
export BLENDER_SYSTEM_BASE=${BLENDER_SHARE}/${BLENDER_VERSION}
export BLENDER_USER_DATAFILES=${HOME}/.blender/${BLENDER_VERSION}/datafiles
export BLENDER_SYSTEM_DATAFILES=${BLENDER_SHARE}/${BLENDER_VERSION}/datafiles
export BLENDER_SYSTEM_PYTHON=${BLENDER_SHARE}/${BLENDER_VERSION}/python
export BLENDER_USER_PLUGINS=${HOME}/.blender/${BLENDER_VERSION}/plugins
export BLENDER_SYSTEM_PLUGINS=${BLENDER_SHARE}/${BLENDER_VERSION}/plugins
2. Question:
On Blender's User's preferences, under 'File' Section. There are File Paths:
Is it possible to set this paths through env variables? If yes, how are they called?
These paths are:
Fonts:
Textures:
Render output:
scripts:
Sounds:
Temp:
Image Editor:
