Hi! Coming back with good news :) I was able to set up everything up and managed to start generating frames!

I have a set of low priority comments to share:

It would be nice to add a link to how to install dependencies for Python newbies like me:

• https://github.com/pypa/pipx?tab=readme-ov-file#install-pipx
• https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-pipx
• https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/getting_started/installing/index.html

The Makefile has a BLENDER variable specific to your workstation, maybe we just can omit it by delegating finding blender to the python script: blender_bin = shutil.which("blender")

I also added this PR in case you want to give it a try: https://github.com/manzato/chess2vid/pull/9

Excellent! Yes, that "hack" is because I have two versions of blender in my machine. The default behavior of the SW is to look for blender using shutil but it (correctly) finds the Deb installation (which is quite outdated). I should define that env var outside of the makefile.
