A focused batch-rendering add-on for Blender that centres on queuing multiple .blend files and generating platform-specific render scripts.
Auto Render Queue Pro is a Blender add-on from Mamba CG built around batch rendering multiple .blend files. You add files to a project render queue, select individual scenes per file, and assign custom output folders for each project. Renders can be launched with a single click, and you can preview, reorder, and manage the render stack from a clean interface.
The add-on generates platform-specific scripts, producing .bat files for Windows and .sh files for macOS and Linux, and supports all three platforms. It is aimed at artists, studios, and technical directors processing multiple Blender projects in sequence, with use cases including queuing files for overnight rendering, integrating with studio pipelines, and automating rendering for review cycles.
You access it through the Blender UI at View3D → Sidebar → Auto Render Pro. It works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines and is compatible with Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0. A demo video is available for those who want to see more before installing.
Auto Render Queue Pro is best for artists, studios, and technical directors processing multiple Blender projects in sequence.
Auto Render Queue Pro is completely free to download and use.
Auto Render Queue Pro is compatible with Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0. It is listed as a Blender extension and works as an add-on. Once installed, you access it through the Blender UI by going to View3D, then the Sidebar, then the Auto Render Pro panel. It supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines, so files using either can be added to the queue and processed through the add-on's interface.
Auto Render Queue Pro fully supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. It generates platform-specific scripts to run renders: .bat files for Windows and .sh files for macOS and Linux. This cross-platform coverage means the render queue and the single-click render launch are available regardless of which of the three operating systems you use for your Blender projects. Because it produces the correct script for each platform, the same queue setup can be applied whether you are rendering on a Windows machine, a Mac, or a Linux workstation in a studio pipeline.
Auto Render Queue Pro lets you select individual scenes per file after adding .blend files to the project render queue. You can also assign custom output folders for each project and preview, reorder, and manage the render stack. This makes it suited to queuing multiple files for overnight rendering, integrating with studio pipelines, and automating rendering for review cycles. Managing outputs automatically and processing multiple Blender projects in sequence are the core tasks it is built to handle for artists, studios, and technical directors.
Auto Render Queue Pro is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any purchase options, check the developer's page from Mamba CG, since details can change over time. The add-on itself is a Blender extension covering multi-file, multi-scene, cross-platform rendering through a single interface. It supports Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0 and the Cycles and Eevee render engines, so you can confirm compatibility before installing from the developer's listing.
