    Have you tried anything and if so what failed? – Jackdaw Jul 30 '19 at 16:09

  • No, I have no idea how to do it @Jackdaw – cxnt Jul 30 '19 at 16:17
  • Probably easier to setup the camera/scene beforehand and just trigger the animation/rendering by script. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r0KsLYr3wA – Robert Gützkow Jul 30 '19 at 17:53
  • Or https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/3476/how-can-i-animate-the-camera-in-a-perfect-circular-rotation-around-a-fixed-posit/3477 for rotating the camera instead of the object. This seems like a suitable approach that could be replicated by a script. – Robert Gützkow Jul 30 '19 at 18:04
  • You might find some useful options here – Robin Betts Jul 30 '19 at 19:38
  • I created a similar script, capturing the commands to use directly from Blender http://www.jumpstation.co.uk/flog/Jan2018.html#p270120181716 – rob Aug 02 '19 at 09:50

You don't need a script.

1) Set up your scene.

2) Position your camera for the first image.

3) Set a keyframe for the camera location and rotation.

4) Move to the next frame in the timeline.

5) Position the camera for the next image.

6) Set key frames as before.

7) Repeat until you have set up all the pictures you need.

8) In the animation settings, set it to create separate images (eg PNG).

9) Set the start and end frame numbers for the animation.

10) Start rendering the animation. Blender will then create a still image for each of the frames you have set up.
