k3d1
3d modeling and animation system.
Usage
k3d [OPTIONS]
Overview
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.

Disables the given OpenGL extension (whether it is supported by the underlyinghardware or not).
-
--enable-gl-extension=EXTENSION -
Enables the given OpenGL extension (whether it is supported by the underlying hardware or not).
-
--exit -
Exits the program after startup (useful when running scripts in batch mode).
-
-h, --help -
Prints this help information and exits.
-

-
--no-color -
Disable color-coding of log messages based on their priority.
-
-e, --script=SCRIPT -
Executes the given script text after startup.
-
-f, --script-file=PATH -
Executes the given script file after startup (use - for stdin).
-
--setenv=ARG -
Set an environment variable using name=value syntax.
-
--shadercache=PATH -
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
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).
