NAME
k3d - 3D modeling and animation system.
SYNOPSIS
k3d [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
K-3D is the free (as in freedom) 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for systems including GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, and others. K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture and is capable of producing motion-picture-quality output when paired with a RenderMan Interface compliant render engine such as Aqsis.

Overrides the path where compiled shaders will be cached (this overrides the default and the K3D_SHADER_CACHE_PATH environment variable).
- --show-process
-
Prints the process name next to log messages.
- --show-timestamps
-
Prints timestamps next to log messages.
- --syslog
-
Logs messages to syslog.
- -u, --ui=ARG
-
Specifies the user interface to use at startup: nui, ngui, qtui, pyui, or the path to a user interface plugin (this overrides the default and the K3D_USER_INTERFACE_PATH environment variable).
- -H, --user-interface-help
-
Prints additional command line options based on the the current choice of user interface, and exits.
- --version
-
Prints program version information and exits.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
K3D_EXTRA_OPTIONS
Provides additional options that are appended to the command-line at startup. Note that unlike other K-3D environment variables, options specified via K3D_EXTRA_OPTIONS will override options specified on the command line. Typically used to pass command-line arguments when running the program from the build tree.
K3D_OPTIONS_PATH
Overrides the path for storing user options (this overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --options option).
K3D_PLUGIN_PATHS
Overrides the path(s) for loading plugin libraries (this overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --plugins option). Multiple colon-delimited paths are allowed. Use "&" as a synonym for the default paths.
K3D_SHADER_CACHE_PATH
Overrides the path where compiled shaders are cached (this overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --shadercache option).
K3D_SHARE_PATH
Overrides the path for loading shared data files (this overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --share option).
K3D_USER_INTERFACE_PATH
Overrides the path to the user interface plugin (this overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --ui option).
