Does it in fancy way showing progress bar during rendering and reporting time
information once render is finished. Includes overall render pipeline time,
Cycles render time including synchronization time and bare Cycles render time.

Will only work on Linux currently, some further tweaks are possible.

Use with care, review all changes you apply before commit!

Some further tweaks to the script are possible.

Typical usecase: --filter-data="name" to only get DNA structs' name
field value, much helpful to indentify datablocks in JSon result!

Avoid maintaining 2 separate blendfile modules.

Removes string mangling

by some pointer-invariant hash of the block.

In other words, you can now save a .blend, reload it and save it again, and both
json-exported versions of this file should remain (mostly) identical.

Helps reducing the noise when doing a diff of the json files. ;)

This aims at giving some kind of uid to replace addr_old, that does not changes on
every .blend saving.

This option will export in json file all data fields in exported blocks.
Quite obviously, this leads to very huge files (over 1Mb with default .blend)
if you do not filter the output...

blendfile.py: fix/add some 'basic data' reading (mostly arrays of ints/floats/...), add utils to recursively get all items of a struct.

New `BlendFileBlock.items_recursive_iter()` will yield all valid key/values pair of a given struct,
including sub ones (e.g. 'id.next', 'id.name', etc.).

Also sort each category

Less verbose and cleaner imho.

This tool aims at exporting (parts of) a .blend file in JSON.

This makes it easy to 'read' the actual content of a .blend, to diff it, etc.

This is still very WIP, right it's OK to get the general structure of the .blend
(all its blocks), but data itself is not yet exportable.

There are also options to filter (based on keys & values regex matching) what is
exported to JSON, but this is not yet fully working as expected.

This is a (still not complete) python module able to read and write a .blend file.
