A procedural Blender pipeline for generating photorealistic training images for computer vision and machine learning.
BlenderProc2 is a procedural pipeline built on Blender that automates the generation of photorealistic synthetic images and annotations for training computer vision and machine learning models. It solves the problem of expensive and time-consuming real-world data collection by enabling scalable, customizable, and reproducible synthetic dataset creation.
Computer vision researchers, machine learning engineers, and developers who need high-quality synthetic training data for tasks like object detection, segmentation, and pose estimation.
Developers choose BlenderProc2 for its deep integration with Blender's rendering capabilities, extensive support for 3D formats and datasets, and fully programmable pipeline that allows precise control over scene generation, making it a powerful open-source alternative to commercial synthetic data tools.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Loads models from OBJ, PLY, FBX, and integrates with datasets like BOP and ShapeNet, reducing import hassles for diverse assets.
Automates scene generation with physics-based object placement and lighting, enabling scalable, reproducible dataset creation without manual tweaking.
Exports annotations in COCO and BOP formats directly, streamlining integration with popular computer vision training pipelines.
Offers debugging in Blender GUI and remote breakpoint-debugging for IDEs like vscode, easing development and troubleshooting.
The entire pipeline is tightly coupled to Blender's ecosystem, limiting flexibility if users prefer other 3D software or face compatibility issues.
Requires proficiency in Blender's API and Python scripting, making it inaccessible for those new to 3D graphics or procedural workflows.
Photorealistic rendering with physics simulation is computationally heavy, often requiring powerful GPUs and long processing times for complex scenes.
