PBG works based on Blender therefore, Blender 2.77 or a later version is required.

Input parameters should be adjusted in parameters.py. Make sure the file paths are set to desired directory. In online version only a few particle shapes are available. To access other shapes please contact me.

All files must be kept in the same directory as pbg.py. However, this multiple instances of pbg.py. can be run by copying the whole directory.

Place empty.blend and PBG.py and Capping.py in your working directory.

To run the simulation in Console/Terminal (Win or Mac):
Make sure you are in the right directory
Type: blender -b empty.blend -P PBG.py

To run the simulation interactively in Blender:
Run Blender.exe
Remove all the objects in the scene, including Camera and Light
Change to scripting mode
Open PBG.py
Run the script

To run the capping.py from Console/Terminal:

Make sure you are in the right directory
Type: blender -b \working_bed_X.blend -P Capping.py
