What does './models_path_all.json' mean?

[snowflakewang]

Hello, thank you for your great work in open-source Blender rendering scripts. I am curious about the meaning of './models_path_all.json'. What is the difference between this json and material3d.json?

python rendering_scripts/distributed_render.py \
    --timeout 3600 \
    --num_gpus 8 \
    --workers_per_gpu 12 \
    --input_models_path './models_path_all.json' \
    --resolution 512 \
    --render_space 'VIEW'

Thank you!

After you downloaded the glb data of objaverse, you can save all the paths as a dict like {"id": path, ...} into a json file. This is
models_path_all.json. On the other hand, material3d.json is a json file including a sublist of ids that you want to render. You can pass material3d.json or another similar file as the arg objects_uid in the script distributed_render.py.
