Run a local Blender #29

Open Tilix4 opened 4 years ago

Tilix4 commented 4 years ago

Need

Allowing the user to target a local/custom Blender executable path would make the local development of this addon faster (don't have to download it all the time --which is a great feature by the way--). It would also some CICD pipelines like Gitlab's to use a custom docker image where Blender is already bundled to not overload the bandwidth.

How

Add a blender_path="" parameter to the main function?

I second this - downloading multiple Blender versions is essential for CI/CD pipelines, but smaller developers would appreciate an option for using a local existing Blender.

I have made some code about it, I'll be able to make a PR soon I think.
