Feature Request: Rotation Command Line parameters #60

Open J0nnyI opened 2 years ago

J0nnyI commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to add yaw/pitch/roll to the command line parameters?

I am working on integrating your project into my Stl File Organizer as thumbnail generator and would like to know if you could add an pitch/yaw/roll parameter to the command line arguments, so that I can adjust the rotation to match the in-app settings.

This shouldn't be too hard to add. I'll look into it.

thank you, I appreciate it

Would it be more useful to use rotation (a set of angles) or the camera position relative to the object (x, y, z)?

short: I think setting the rotation of the model would be the easiest, An additional parameter for the distance between camera and object would be nice too (since a part of the mdel is often out of frame if the shape is a bit unlucky)

Maybe providing model and camera rotation would be a good idea too, since the model rotation does change the lighting position, which the camera position has no effect on.

The usecase is that I want to create Thumbnails fo the Application and the models get a default rotation, since a lot of models are imported with a 90° pitch.

Adjusting the camera position would be handy.
