Rendering for Blender

Bioxel Nodes is a Blender addon for scientific volumetric data visualization, using Geometry Nodes and Cycles to process and render volumetric data. It supports EEVEE NEXT, multiple formats, 4D volumetric data, and cutters.

Cool Magic Shader is a Blender addon for setting up materials, outlines and lights so you can switch between realistic and toon render modes. It adds a shader node and controls in the N-Panel.

Light Array is a Blender addon for adding lighting to a scene, with more than 45 ready-made light setups and 20 different types of lights to choose from. Documentation includes a lesson on using the addon.

Luminar Lights is a Blender add-on that provides a photometric lighting system, letting artists build precisely controlled, realistic lighting based on real-world light fixtures, measurements and color temperatures.

Painting Textures_Skin is a Blender add-on for painting elements onto your model, such as veins, color and grains. It works through nodegroups, each containing a texture map and the shader needed to produce a specific effect.

Q Three Views is a Blender add-on that produces multi-view renderings in one click. Select an object, click RENDER, and it places the cameras, renders the images, then composes and displays a combined view.

Three Layer Rendering is a Blender add-on that splits scene geometry into Background, Foreground and Focus View Layers, manages render settings from one interface, and automatically builds composition nodes from scenes or MultiLayer EXR files.

Uv.Scatter is a Blender shader tool that scatters textures and adds decals to your materials. It applies parallax, blur and shadows using shaders alone, without geometry nodes or particle systems.

Area Lights is a Blender add-on from Anthony Aragues that creates area lights from selected faces. Select an object, enter edit mode, choose faces, and generate lights from the N panel.

Billboard Render - Image Planes is a Blender addon that replaces selected objects with textured planes. Pressing its Render button renders the object and creates a rectangular plane positioned to look identical from the camera's point of view.

Brushed Shading is a suite of shaders and tools for Blender that turns regular smooth shading into the look of hand-painted brush strokes, working in both EEVEE and Cycles for painterly stylized looks.

CEL (Citigen Environment Lighting) is a Blender environment-lighting addon that lights a scene with a single Add Sky action. You can also adjust the sky, add clouds, shape them, and animate them over time.

Colorframe Renders is a Blender addon for creating colorful wireframe renders. It assigns random or palette-based colors to selected objects, with options to color by collection or by object dimensions.

Fastest Render is a Blender addon from Divine Animation Studio that retunes render settings to cut render time. Built for simple animations, it can render up to 80% quicker at the click of a button.

King Of Light is a gobo pack for Blender, where a gobo is a light texture that casts detailed lighting and shadows into a scene. You add gobos by dragging and dropping through the asset browser. It includes 365 gobos.

Matcaps Forever - Infinite Matcap Generator is a Blender add-on that randomly generates matcaps until you find one you like, then lets you tweak it and export the result for other software that supports matcaps.

Normal Map Node Tools adds a set of shader node groups to Blender for manipulating, creating, and enhancing normal map textures. It includes nodes for adding, mixing, inverting, and adjusting normal maps.

Octane Light Studio is a lighting management add-on for Blender and Octane Render. Create lights, organize them into layers, position them by clicking surfaces, and adjust everything through real-time sliders with absolute values.

Procedural Light Studio Addon is a geometry-node-based lighting addon for Blender that adds five light types to a scene. It covers left, right, front, rim, and top panel lights, plus an optional volumetric fog panel.

Natural Sky is a photorealistic sky system for Blender 2.8 and 2.9, built as a shader-based setup rather than a script. It's made for the Cycles render engine and does not support Eevee.

Render Gif is a Blender addon from CGMatter that turns an animation into a GIF. Create an empty output folder, set your GIF settings, and hit Render Gif — it defaults to animation.

Render Markers is a Blender addon that renders and saves frames marked with markers directly to your Output directory. Found in the Render Panel, it skips unmarked frames and runs from a customizable shortcut.

Render Time Calculator is a Blender addon that estimates how long an entire animation will take to render. You enter the time for one frame, or multiple frames in advanced mode, and it computes the total.

RenderIQ is a standalone smart render manager for Blender on Windows and Mac, combining scene analysis, upscaling, frame interpolation and support for Turbo Tools and SceneBoost into one automated program.
