Render with Blender and/or o3de

[westurner]

STORY: Users can render cadquery object trees with Blender in addition to three.js.

Blender does not have the same polygon scaling limits with complex assemblies as three.js, which works in a notebook without a kernel.

Maybe a Blender tab that doesn't render by default unless a config option is set?

TIL about o3de, too. I had heard of Blender, but then I found o3de while looking for information about PhysX Blender; o3de does support physx.

o3de:

• web: https://o3de.org/
• already supports PhysX
