[enhancement request] Create local image files in Windows #26

Closed Aevaris closed 4 years ago

Aevaris commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

It'd be great if there was a command line option for Windows to point this at a directory and create png/jpg/etc files for each STL.

I might add an option for processing many STLs at once at some point. In the mean time, it shouldn't be too hard to batch script to do it.

Aevaris commented 4 years ago

Is there a way to do a single file in Windows? I only saw command line commands for Linux.

unlimitedbacon commented 4 years ago

The same options work on Windows. You just need to run stl-thumb.exe from the program files folder.

Ah, my bad. This is really cool! Any way to change the light location? I've been looking for a quick tool to ideally take images of my STLs. It's slow work to open each in meshmixer, position, take a picture, and then rename the picture. This does all of that in one command.

The light direction is fixed at the moment. I'll add that to the wishlist, though.

Cool, thanks for your help and putting this together!
