"""
Convert a mesh file to `.obj` using blender.

This file processes a given dae mesh file and saves the resulting mesh file in obj format.

It needs to be called using the python packaged with blender, i.e.:

    blender --background --python blender_obj.py -- -in_file FILE -out_file FILE

For more information: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html

The script was tested on Blender 3.2 on Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
