Converts blend files to other 3D formats.
There aren't any export options exposed yet, but I plan to add these when needed or someone asks. https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bpy.ops.export_scene.html
You can use this in your build script to automatically convert blender files when they change. To do so your build script should look something like:
use std::path::Path;
let input_dir = Path::new("blends");
blend_converter::ConversionOptions::default()
.convert_dir_build_script(input_dir)
.expect("failed to convert blends");
println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed={}", input_dir.display());
Then assuming you have blends/test.blend, in your code you can open the converted files using something like:
use std::path::Path;
let path = Path::new(env!("OUT_DIR")).join("blends").join("test.glb");
let f = std::fs::File::open(path);
You will need blender installed and either visible in the path or pass a path to ConversionOptions. If you have blender installed using flatpak then this should be detected. For more information about the search strategy see https://docs.rs/blend-converter
