Introduction

Allformaat is a powerful Blender addon that allows users to render their scenes in multiple image formats simultaneously. This addon streamlines the process of creating outputs in various file formats, saving time and effort in post-production workflows.

Installation

1. Download the Allformaat addon file (.zip) from the Blender Market.
2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
3. Click "Install" and select the downloaded zip file.
4. Enable the addon by checking the box next to "Render: Allformaat".

Features

• Render in up to 14 different image formats simultaneously
• Customize settings for each format individually
• Support for both single frame and animation rendering
• Automatic creation of separate folders for each format
• User-friendly interface integrated into Blender's UI

How to Use

1. In the 3D Viewport, locate the Allformaat panel in the sidebar (press N if not visible).
2. Click "Add Format" to add a new output format to the list.
3. Select the desired format from the dropdown menu.
4. Adjust the format-specific settings as needed.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each format you want to include.
6. Set your desired output path in Blender's Output Properties panel.
7. If rendering an animation, set the frame range in the Allformaat panel.
8. Click "Render Formats" to start the rendering process.

Supported Formats

Allformaat supports all 14 image formats available in Blender:

1. BMP
2. Iris
3. PNG
4. JPEG
5. JPEG 2000
6. Targa
7. Targa Raw
8. Cineon
9. DPX
10. OpenEXR Multilayer
11. OpenEXR
12. Radiance HDR
13. TIFF
14. WebP

Each format retains its specific settings and options as available in Blender's native rendering system.

Limitations

• Allformaat does not support video formats using FFmpeg. And for now, OpenEXR Multilayer don't support the render passes, in coming updates will be going to support it.
• The rendering process occurs in the background, so real-time viewing of the render progress in a separate window is not available. View the Demo video.
• A minimum of two formats must be selected for the addon to function.
• You must have not anything configured in the compositor.

Troubleshooting

• Error: "Please set an output path": Ensure you have set a valid output path in Blender's Output Properties panel.
• Error: "No write permission": Check that you have write access to the specified output directory.
• Warning: "At least two formats are required": Add at least one more format to the list before rendering.
