Blend File Presets
Blend File Presets - Effortlessly Manage and Switch Between Multiple Blender Configurations
Overview:
Streamline your workflow with the Blend File Presets add-on for Blender. This simple but powerful tool allows you to easily save, categorize, and load multiple Blender preset files. Whether you're a 3D artist, animator, or game developer, this add-on helps you maintain organized workspaces, seamlessly switch between different project setups, and optimize your creative process.
The concept for this tool came from my habit of constantly overwriting the default startup file when working on a series of projects with similar workflows. However, saving over the startup file for a new project type meant losing the previous oneโs setup. With Blend File Presets, your foundations remain organized and accessible, no matter the project.
Note: Layouts, workspaces, nodes, materials, objects, and similar data types are saved into the preset file for future use. However, user preferences, such as hotkeys and themes, are not saved.
Simple and intuitive UI integrated into Blender's existing menus
Organize your presets into custom categories
Automatically create new blend files of your presets in categorized folders with each load
Add variations within the custom categories or create a new category
After loading a preset, the new files are organized by category and timestamp
Added toggle to disable the auto saving of new files on load
Two variants available: UI in File>Defaults, and UI in File>New
Key Features:
- File Path Handling: Set the file paths for the presets and the new blend files in the add-on preferences. Allowing for consistent saving and loading.
- Customizable Presets:ย Save your current Blender configuration as a preset, including everything from layout to specific scene settings. Switch between multiple presets with just a few clicks.
- Category Management: Organize your presets into custom categories, making it easy to find the exact setup you need for any project.
- Safety First: Prevent accidental data loss with a built-in confirmation prompt that warns you before loading a new preset, ensuring you don't overwrite unsaved work.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly across all major operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simple and intuitive UI integrated into Blender's existing menus, making it easy to save and load presets without disrupting your workflow. The presets are found in the "Defaults" section of the file dropdown.
- Automatic File Handling: Automatically create new blend files of your presets in categorized folders, ensuring a clean and organized workflow.
