Use Blender to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business
graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easy build
and manage complex environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast.
All basic animation principles (curves & keys) are well implemented.

arguments must be separated by white space. eg
"blender -ba test.blend"
...will ignore the 'a'
"blender -b test.blend -f8"
...will ignore 8 because there is no space between the -f and the frame value
"blender --background test.blend --render-frame 1 --render-output /tmp"
...will not render to /tmp because '--render-frame 1' renders before the output path is set
"blender --background --render-output /tmp test.blend --render-frame 1"
...will not render to /tmp because loading the blend file overwrites the render output that was set
"blender --background test.blend --render-output /tmp --render-frame 1" works as expected.

Argument Parsing:¶
arguments must be separated by white space. eg
"blender -ba test.blend"
...will ignore the 'a'
"blender -b test.blend -f8"
...will ignore 8 because there is no space between the -f and the frame value
Argument Order:¶
Arguments are executed in the order they are given. eg"blender --background test.blend --render-frame 1 --render-output /tmp"
...will not render to /tmp because '--render-frame 1' renders before the output path is set
"blender --background --render-output /tmp test.blend --render-frame 1"
...will not render to /tmp because loading the blend file overwrites the render output that was set
"blender --background test.blend --render-output /tmp --render-frame 1" works as expected.
