Stands out in the superhive library for consolidating data management across a whole file, and it was a staff pick on the Blender Market with version 2 fully rewritten for Blender 3.x and 4.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager is a data manager for Blender that outlines, arranges and controls modifiers, materials, collections and other data in the currently open file, scene or visible objects. It lets you select, add, remove and apply multiple operations on selected modifiers, materials and collections, or filter and search using custom user settings, so you can manage everything on the fly and keep a complete overview of a project.
It suits large scenes where you need to clean, purge, merge and otherwise reorganize project data at once. You can add, remove, apply, copy, paste and run multiple operations together, working through a dedicated add-on tab, a floating panel, a pie menu or the right-click context menu.
Version 2 has been completely redesigned and rewritten for Blender 3.x and Blender 4, and the add-on was a staff pick on the Blender Market. It ships under a GPL license, with full online documentation available at batchops.moth3r.com.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager is best for managing and reorganizing data in large Blender scenes — cleaning, purging, merging and rearranging modifiers, materials and collections at once.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager is completely free to download and use.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager covers Blender 3.6 through 5.x across its releases. Version 1.2.0 supports Blender 5.x, version 1.1.7 supports Blender 3.6–4.5 (and 5.0 only), and version 0.9.0 is the legacy build for Blender 3.6. The version 1.x line is the compatible release for Blender 5 and 4, while version 0.9 is the legacy release for Blender 3.x. If you run into errors, confirm which version you are running before seeking support, since the right build depends on your Blender release.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager can be reached in several ways inside Blender. It offers a dedicated add-on tab, a floating panel, a pie menu and right-click context menu support, so you can open it from wherever fits your workflow. From these access points you can outline, arrange and control your modifiers, materials, collections and other data, then run operations without leaving your current view. Full online documentation is available at batchops.moth3r.com if you want more detail on the different panels and menus.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager works with modifiers, materials, collections and many other data types in the currently open file, scene or visible objects. You can select, add, remove, apply, copy and paste, and run multiple operations at once, or filter and search using custom user settings. It is aimed at large scenes where you need to clean, purge, merge and otherwise reorganize project data in one place, while keeping a complete overview of the project as you work.
Batch Operations™ Smart Data-Manager is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing and any purchase options, check the developer's page at batchops.moth3r.com, since terms can change over time. The add-on itself is distributed under a GPL license and includes full online documentation. It was also a staff pick on the Blender Market, and version 2 was completely redesigned and rewritten for Blender 3.x and Blender 4.
