Simple Python Package to open .obj files in Blender
from the command line.
It clears the whole scene from any default objects and
you are left with the .obj files you specified.
The script expects the command blender to point at
your blender executable. You can test if this is the case
by running
blender
and if everything goes right, then Blender will open and you can continue with the installation process.
In case you get an error saying something like
blender: command not found
then you either haven't installed Blender, or your don't have a shortcut to your blender executable. If the latter is the case, then you can export the blender PATH
export PATH="/path/to/your/blender/blender-3.3.0:$PATH"
If this still doesn't fix your problem, then you could also
create a bash_alias.
You can simply install it using
pip install open-bobj
or if you have pipx use
pipx install open-bobj
To open any number of .obj files in the terminal, run
open-bobj /path/to/file.obj
You can also open multiple at ones. This is going to open all
of the .obj objects in the same blender instance.
open-bobj /path/to/file.obj /another/file.obj /and/another/one.obj
There is also a short handle
bobj /path/to/file.obj
