Blender for Synthetic Data Generation - Tutorials

This tutorial series will teach you the main principles of synthetic data generation and introduce you to the necessary components of the Blender Python API.

Basic familiarity with using Blender and its user-interface is helpful but not mandatory to follow this series. For a gentle introduction to using Blender, we recommend the Blender Beginner Donut Tutorial 🍩. The total length of the playlist is a bit more than 6 hours, but you can skip parts e.g. about sculpting.

📝 After you've completed the installation, you can start the tutorials below.
