Command-line Interface

Postshot provides a command-line interface that allows running training jobs without starting the GUI. This allows scripted control of training jobs and enables training on compute-only GPUs that don't provide graphics capabilities, like the Nvidia Datacenter GPUs.

For details on the command-line options, run the following command in Command Prompt:

"C:\Program Files\Jawset Postshot\bin\postshot-cli.exe" --help

When running in Powershell, prepend an ampersand '&':

& "C:\Program Files\Jawset Postshot\bin\postshot-cli.exe" --help

Note: Make sure quoted paths don't have a trailing backslash. That is, use "D:\images" instead of "D:\images\".

Example 1

"C:\Program Files\Jawset Postshot\bin\postshot-cli.exe" --import "D:\Scene A\images" --output "D:\Scene A\splat-mcmc.psht" -s 60

Compute camera poses and train a radiance field from the images in the folder D:\Scene A\images using the default profile (Splat MCMC) for 60kSteps. Save the resulting project file to D:\Scene A\splat-mcmc.psht. The images will be downscaled to the default Max Image Size of 1600.

Example 2

"C:\Program Files\Jawset Postshot\bin\postshot-cli.exe" --import "D:\Scene A\images" "D:\Scene A\Poses and Points" --output "D:\Scene A\splat-mcmc.psht" --max-image-size 0

Import the images and camera poses from the given folders - assuming D:\Scene A\Poses and Points contains camera poses and points (see Importing Images for more details). Do not downscale the images.
