Rendering for Blender

Rendernode [Rsn] brings a node-based design and render workflow to Blender, using a Geometry Nodes field style layout with group nodes, a switch node, input and utility nodes, and get/set nodes.

Rendertools is a Blender addon from Picto Filmo that gathers several tools for improving rendering output productivity, including a feature to export video to GIF using FFMPEG. Tools activate from the addon preferences.

Wirebomb is a Blender add-on for setting up wireframe renders, offering two methods: through the freestyle renderer's capabilities or with the wireframe modifier. Both EEVEE and Cycles are fully supported.

Auto Render Queue Pro is a Blender add-on for managing a render queue across multiple .blend files. It lets you select scenes per file, set custom output folders, and run renders from one interface.

Auto Spritesheet Pro renders 2D or 3D Blender scenes into sprite sheets by placing cameras around a model, rendering chosen frames, and stitching them into a single texture sheet with transparent backgrounds and optional grids.

Baker: GPU Lightmapper is a Blender add-on that automates lightmap generation, covering UV creation, atlas packing, GPU baking, AI denoising, and export within a single pipeline aimed at game developers, 3D artists, and architects.

Batch File Renderer is a Blender addon that queues multiple .blend files and renders them sequentially in the background, with start and stop controls managed from a panel in Blender's Properties window.

C.Mats is a procedural material bundle for Blender containing 90 procedural materials and two addons. It covers fabric, wood, metal, marble, and carpaint surfaces, plus real and fictional planets, and includes Dirtify 2.0 for weathering.

Combinemats is a Blender add-on by Derek Wang that combines two or more materials into a totally new material, using a Mix Shader node to blend them based on a factor such as a texture map or vertex paint.

Easy Environment Lighting is a Blender shader that turns any image into an HDRI. It boosts the contrast of low-contrast environment maps captured with a phone, and ships with five environment maps.

Environment Brute Force is a Blender add-on that searches for optimal scene lighting by iterating through a set of environment images. It applies each image in turn and rotates it a full 360 degrees.

Fusion Nodes is a Blender addon by Hamen that brings shaders used in Blackmagic Fusion into your Blender workflow. It includes nine nodes for building realistic renders inside your node setups.

Gobolab Pro is a Blender addon for creating gobos, patterns placed in front of a light source to shape its output. It ships with a preset library, procedural animation, gobo mixing, and custom image or video import.

Light Control For Workbench is a Blender add-on for setting the direction of Workbench render engine viewport shadows using Azimuth and Elevation parameters, with the option to save your own preset configuration.

Mixit is a lighting tool for Blender that creates, modifies, and mixes light while automatically setting lightgroups for corresponding lights. It works only with the Cycles render engine.

Mood-Id is a lighting tool for Blender by May3D that applies curated color palettes to your scenes. Selecting a palette applies lighting that adds realism and depth, with over 270 presets included.

The Multi Camera Rendering Addon for Blender renders multiple cameras from different angles with a single click. It lets you disable specific cameras and optionally save rendered results directly to disk.

Pre Render Creator (PRC) is a Blender script for generating spritesheet animations. Following a model-once, render-all concept, it produces multiple angle sprites with a single click, plus a spritesheet tool for packing sprites inside Blender.

Qol Tools: Spec Lighting Ops is an add-on and small suite of utilities for Blender that aids with specular lighting in Cycles, centered on highlight placement and light linking.

Realtime Cycles is a Blender add-on from Cycles Y that enhances Blender's native Cycles engine, adding a realtime mode and photon-mapped rendering while working within your existing Blender workflow.

Render Back is a Blender add-on for command line rendering (console/batch rendering) without writing a script for each project. It handles rendering through a generated batch file and manages options from a panel in Blender.

Render Manager is a Blender addon for running renders in series across a collection of cameras. Select any number of cameras and automatically render images or animations from each, without waiting between jobs.

RenderBones is a Blender add-on from kunemann that converts custom bone shapes into renderable geometry matching the viewport, following your rig's animation. Built for rig breakdowns, showreels and shots where you want the rig visible.

Sprite Maker is a Blender add-on for rendering isometric sprites, with configurations for 8 sides, 4 sides, or an alternative 4-sided setup. It renders animations at adjustable step intervals for game and 2D asset work.
