Accurate Region Border earns its place in the superhive library as a focused utility: it sets the render border position and size by exact numeric values and can animate those coordinates for a rendered frame sequence. It supports Blender 3.3 through 4.2 and ships under the GPL license.
Accurate Region Border is a Blender add-on for setting the render region border with exact values and managing it. The border position is defined by the coordinates of its left-upper corner. Its size can be set in two modes: by the coordinates of the right-lower corner, or by width and height.
In each separate 3D viewport area, the render border is controlled by the values from a separate add-on panel. The coordinate values of the render border can also be animated. To render a frame sequence using animated render border coordinates, you press the Render Animation button on the add-on panel.
The add-on lives in the 3D Viewport window, in the N-panel under the ARB tab, and works across Blender 3.3 through 4.2. It is distributed under the GPL license, and documentation is provided. A demo video is available.
Accurate Region Border is best for blender users who want to define the render region border by exact numeric values and animate its coordinates across a rendered frame sequence.
Accurate Region Border is completely free to download and use.
Accurate Region Border supports Blender versions 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. If you work across several of these releases, the add-on covers that range without needing a different tool per version. Anyone on a Blender build outside this list should check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond those versions is not stated. The current add-on version is 1.1.2.
Accurate Region Border lives in the 3D Viewport window, inside the N-panel under a tab labelled ARB. Open the N-panel in your viewport and select that tab to reach the render border controls. Each separate 3D viewport area has its own add-on panel, so the render border in each area is controlled by the values from that separate panel rather than a single shared setting.
Accurate Region Border lets you animate the coordinate values of the render border. Once those coordinates are animated, pressing the Render Animation button on the add-on panel renders the frame sequence with the animated render border coordinates. The border position is set from the left-upper corner, while its size can be defined either by the right-lower corner coordinates or by width and height, and those values are what you animate.
Accurate Region Border is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change, so for the current arrangement and any purchase details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is authored by Nikita Akimov, and documentation is provided to help you get set up and working with the render border controls.
