There are a ton of ways to convert images to 3D models, but I'm interested going the other way: from a 3D model to a series of images.

I need many images generated from one 3D model, the more the better, from every possible angle, and every possible scale.

For example, I have a 3D model of a pencil. I need to generate 100,000 images from this 3D pencil model from every angle (x,y,z), including the smallest scale to the largest scale. 

I'm using Python and working with Blender at the moment and wondering if there is a simpler approach to solve this.
