    2. Open Blender.

    3. Go to 'Edit > Preferences' to open the Blender preferences window.



    4. Switch to the 'Add-ons' tab.

    5. Click on the 'Install' button located at the top right of the preferences window.



    6. Browse and select the downloaded add-on file.

    7. Click the 'Install Add-on' button.

    8. Once installed, enable the add-on by ticking the checkbox next to its name.


    Usage

    1. After installing and enabling the Render Back add-on, open the 'Output' properties panel in Blender.



    2. Locate the 'Render Back' panel, which should be visible in the panel list.

    3. Within the panel, you will find the following options:

    • Blender Location: Specify the location of the Blender program. By default, it is set to the path of the currently running Blender instance.
    • Project File: Set the project file to render. If left empty, the active project file will be used.
    • Render Type: Choose the type of rendering: Animation or Image.

    4. Adjust the desired options according to your rendering needs.

    5. Click the 'Render' button to initiate the rendering process using the specified options.


    Remember to save the project before rendering - it will use the last saved version of the project to render.


    6.  Optional close blender to free-up computing resource [if you're like and have a potato pc], the render will continue on as it using the command system.


    7.  That's it. You can find the rendered image/animation from whatever directory you have set in the output properties.
