Single-command script that renders Blender passes, generates depth maps, and produces stylized SDXL output via ControlNet. Multiple style presets — no re-rendering needed. Designed for artists who don't want to touch code.
The gap: 3D artists and product designers need stylized renders for different contexts — studio product shot, material study, spatial concept, artistic variant. Usually, this means re-rendering or manual post-processing for every variant.
The insight: Blender already has the 3D data. SDXL can generate stunning stylized outputs. The missing piece: a reliable bridge that requires zero manual steps.
The result: One command. One Blender file. Unlimited style variants.
Blender Python API renders alpha, object-ID, normals, and depth in a single script run. Scene validation + aspect ratio handling (square, 16:9, portrait, scene-native).
16-bit depth map → ComfyUI ControlNet Depth (fp16, strength 0.85). SDXL Base 1.0 as the generative backbone. Dual CLIP encoders for full prompt understanding. dpmpp_2m+karras scheduler, CFG 7.0, 25 steps.
Multiple prompt presets: studio still life, material study, spatial concept, floating onyx, material alchemy. Switch presets without touching Blender geometry or re-rendering.
RealESRGAN 4× upscale → lanczos resize to 2048² → WebP q=90 output. All in one automated chain. SSD-1B variant for rapid prototyping (8 steps).
From a single Blender scene, the pipeline generates variants that range from photorealistic product shots to abstract material studies. The same geometry, different visual languages.
Customizable for specific style profiles or client workflows. Single Python entry point (depth_pipeline.py) handles ComfyUI API calls, upload, queue, poll, and download. A second pipeline (canny_icon_pipeline.py) covers CSS → Canny → SDXL icon generation via Chrome Headless.
