Why we like it

Sits at rank 815 in the Blender extensions library. BatchForge stands out for pairing per-object export configuration (naming, origin, transforms, formats, and FBX presets) with detailed reporting on geometry, dimensions, materials, and the settings used for each export.

What is BatchForge: Batch Export Tool?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool is a Blender add-on for exporting scene objects one at a time. You set a naming convention, choose where each object's origin sits, and optionally reset or customize location, rotation, and scale. From there you enable the export formats you need, pick an FBX preset (Unity, Unreal, or a Custom axis setup), and choose an output directory. Running the export processes each object individually.

Alongside the export itself, BatchForge records data for every object it handles. That includes geometry statistics such as vertex, edge, face, and triangle counts, exact transform values after processing, and dimensional analysis giving width, depth, and height in both meters and centimeters. It also logs the assigned materials and their slots, which origin mode was applied, and the full set of active settings used for that specific export.

The current version is 2.8.0, updated on 2026-05-05, and it runs on Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. BatchForge is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and can be added by dragging the archive into Blender or installing it from disk.

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does BatchForge work with Blender 4.2?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so current LTS releases and later versions can run it. It's distributed through the Blender extensions platform, where it currently sits at popularity rank 815. You can add it by dragging and dropping the downloaded archive into Blender, or by installing it from disk through the extensions preferences. If you're on an older Blender build, check the developer's GitHub page before installing, since versions below 4.2 fall outside the stated compatibility range.

How do I install BatchForge in Blender?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool installs like a standard Blender extension. You can drag and drop the downloaded add-on archive directly into Blender, or download the zip and install it from disk through Blender's extensions preferences. The current release is version 2.8.0, last updated on 2026-05-05, and it targets Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Once enabled, you configure your naming convention, origin point, transforms, export formats, FBX preset, and output path, then run the export to process each object individually. Further details are on the developer's GitHub page.

What export presets does BatchForge support?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool lets you enable the export formats you need and select an FBX preset, with built-in options for Unity, Unreal, or a Custom axis configuration. You choose the origin point for each object, optionally reset or customize location, rotation, and scale, set a naming convention, and pick your output directory. When you run the export, BatchForge processes each object individually rather than as a single combined file, giving per-object control over how models are named and oriented on the way out of Blender.

What reporting data does BatchForge provide per export?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool records detailed information for each export. It reports geometry statistics including vertex, edge, face, and triangle counts, along with transform data covering exact location, rotation, and scale values after processing. Dimensional analysis lists width, depth, and height in both meters and centimeters, while the material inventory captures all assigned materials and their slots. It also notes which origin mode was applied and the full set of active export settings used for that specific export. Details are available on the developer's page.

Is BatchForge free to use, and under what license?

BatchForge: Batch Export Tool is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license governs how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on. For the most current licensing terms and any conditions attached to newer releases, check the developer's GitHub page. The tool is distributed through the Blender extensions platform, where it can be downloaded directly and added to Blender by drag and drop or by installing from disk.
