9 k3d [OPTIONS]
10
12 K-3D is the free (as in freedom) 3D modeling, animation, and rendering
13 system for systems including GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, and others.
14 K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture and is
15 capable of producing motion-picture-quality output when paired with a
16 RenderMan Interface compliant render engine such as Aqsis.

20 Prepends a filesystem path to the PATH environment variable.
21 --batch
23 Enables batch (no user intervention) mode.

27 color-capable terminal.
28 --disable-gl-extension=EXTENSION
30 Disables the given OpenGL extension (whether it is supported by the
31 underlyinghardware or not).
32 --enable-gl-extension=EXTENSION
34 Enables the given OpenGL extension (whether it is supported by the
35 underlying hardware or not).
36 --exit
38 Exits the program after startup (useful when running scripts in
39 batch mode).
40 -h, --help
42 Prints this help information and exits.
43 --list-gl-extensions
45 List available OpenGL extensions and exit.
46 --locale=PATH
48 Overrides the path for loading locales.
49 --log-level=LEVEL
51 Specifies the minimal message priority to display: warning,
52 information or debug. Defaults to warning.
53 --options=PATH
55 Overrides the filepath for storing user options (this overrides the
56 default and the K3D_OPTIONS_PATH environment variable).
57 --plugins=PATHS
59 Overrides the path(s) for loading plugin libraries (this overrides
60 the default and the K3D_PLUGIN_PATHS environment variable).
61 Multiple colon-delimited paths are allowed. Use "&" as a synonym
62 for the default paths.
63 --no-color
65 Disable color-coding of log messages based on their priority.
66 -e, --script=SCRIPT
68 Executes the given script text after startup.
69 -f, --script-file=PATH
71 Executes the given script file after startup (use - for stdin).
72 --setenv=ARG
74 Set an environment variable using name=value syntax.
75 --shadercache=PATH
77 Overrides the path where compiled shaders will be cached (this
78 overrides the default and the K3D_SHADER_CACHE_PATH environment
79 variable).
80 --share=PATH
82 Overrides the path for loading shared data files (this overrides
83 the default and the K3D_SHARE_PATH environment variable).
84 --show-process
86 Prints the process name next to log messages.
87 --show-timestamps
89 Prints timestamps next to log messages.
90 --syslog
92 Logs messages to syslog.
93 -u, --ui=ARG
95 Specifies the user interface to use at startup: nui, ngui, qtui,
96 pyui, or the path to a user interface plugin (this overrides the
97 default and the K3D_USER_INTERFACE_PATH environment variable).
98 -H, --user-interface-help
100 Prints additional command line options based on the the current
101 choice of user interface, and exits.
102 --version
104 Prints program version information and exits.
105
107 K3D_EXTRA_OPTIONS
108 Provides additional options that are appended to the command-line
109 at startup. Note that unlike other K-3D environment variables,
110 options specified via K3D_EXTRA_OPTIONS will override options
111 specified on the command line. Typically used to pass command-line
112 arguments when running the program from the build tree.
113 K3D_OPTIONS_PATH
115 Overrides the path for storing user options (this overrides the
116 default, but can be overridden by the --options option).
117 K3D_PLUGIN_PATHS
119 Overrides the path(s) for loading plugin libraries (this overrides
120 the default, but can be overridden by the --plugins option).
121 Multiple colon-delimited paths are allowed. Use "&" as a synonym
122 for the default paths.
123 K3D_SHADER_CACHE_PATH
125 Overrides the path where compiled shaders are cached (this
126 overrides the default, but can be overridden by the --shadercache
127 option).
128 K3D_SHARE_PATH
130 Overrides the path for loading shared data files (this overrides
131 the default, but can be overridden by the --share option).
132 K3D_USER_INTERFACE_PATH
134 Overrides the path to the user interface plugin (this overrides the
