Create Cables/Wires Creating cables has never been more easier! Two clicks is all it takes!	Convert to Multiple Wire Convert single wires to multiples, in a radial or parallel pattern.
Simulate Simulate wires in real-time, with collisions.	Put On Curve Put any object onto a curve to create custom cables or coverings.

Batch Rendering

Showcase the best of your art via camera and rendering tools! Set aspect ratio, resolution,
shutter speed and focal length, all from one menu with a single click, and effortlessly add backdrops and lights!
Using batch rendering tools, create rendering presets and render with different angles, cameras and settings!
Also, generate clay and wireframe renders of your models!

Batch rendering of an object with 4 presets:

Note: This only shows the Clay and Wireframe rendering capabilities , the same camera and resolution are used here.
However, you can customize each preset to your liking and use different cameras and resolutions.
Also, most of the render settings are saved with the preset,while only a few are shown in the panel due to limited space.
To change other settings, you can simply click on the preset to load it and make your changes and then press the Update(Up Arrow) button

* The Material library and HDRI Library depends on ambientcg.com and Polyhaven.com for textures and HDRIs and requires an active internet connection to download new textures. (Although you can use already downloaded textures and HDRIs from the offline section). Just keep in mind if in an extremely rare situation the site is down (or API becomes paid) you won't be able to use the online library.  Using a VPN can also sometimes cause connection problems.

Documentation:

Tested on Windows 10 (20H2),Windows 11, Ubuntu 21.04 & MacOS (Catalina) with Blender 2.91+
