'''
RENDER A MESH STEP-BY-STEP:
1. run "python default_point_cloud_numpy.py" in terminal, then terminate the code when it starts rendering. This step outputs a "test.blend"
2. open "test.blend" with your blender software
3. in blender UI, adjust:
    - "mesh_location", "mesh_rotation", "mesh_scale" of the mesh
4. type in the adjusted mesh parameters from UI to "default_point_cloud_numpy.py"
5. run "python default_point_cloud_numpy.py" again (wait a couple minutes) to output your final image
