Blend Craft consolidates Blender's compositing passes and an effects panel into N-Panel controls, aimed at both newcomers and professionals. A demo video is available on YouTube.
Blend Craft works inside Blender's compositor, activating essential render passes with a single click from the N-Panel. Passes including Color, AO, Light, Transmission and Mist are enabled and prepared automatically, so the compositor is set up without manual node work.
The addon covers major compositing passes directly from the N-Panel: a Mist Pass with adjustable color, depth and intensity; Color for hue and contrast; Gloss for reflections and highlights; Transmission for light through glass, liquids and translucent surfaces; Volume for fog, smoke and volumetric effects; Light Management for brightness, glare and bloom; Environment for background lighting across daylight, sunset or night; and Ambient Occlusion for shadows and surface detail.
Background control is also handled from the N-Panel. You can choose Blender's default background, an alpha channel, or import a custom image, with adjustable size, positioning, darkness and opacity. An Effects panel adds tools such as Diamond Sharpen, Box Sharpen, Soften, Anti-Aliasing, Color Balance, RGB Curves, Hue Correct, Brightness/Contrast and Denoise. Documentation is available, and it is aimed at both Blender newcomers and professionals.
Blend Craft Compositor Blender Plugin By 3Dt is best for blender artists who want to set up the compositor and adjust render passes from the N-Panel without building node setups by hand.
Blend Craft Compositor Blender Plugin By 3Dt is completely free to download and use.
Blend Craft sets up the compositor with a single click from the N-Panel. That click automatically enables key render passes such as Color, AO, Light, Transmission and Mist, and prepares the compositor with the necessary layers. This removes the need to build node setups manually, so you can move into adjusting the image directly. The passes and effects are then managed from the N-Panel rather than through the node editor.
Blend Craft gives control over major compositing passes from the N-Panel. These include a Mist Pass with adjustable color, depth and intensity, plus Color, Gloss for reflections and highlights, Transmission for light through glass and translucent surfaces, Volume for fog and smoke, Light Management for brightness, glare and bloom, Environment for background lighting across daylight, sunset or night, and Ambient Occlusion for shadows and surface detail. Each is adjustable directly from the N-Panel.
Blend Craft manages background settings from the N-Panel. You can choose Blender's default background, an alpha channel, or import your own custom image. Imported images can be resized, repositioned and adjusted for darkness and opacity, letting you place a background image precisely without touching any nodes. This applies whether you are working with alpha layers or fitting a custom image into the scene, all handled within the N-Panel.
Blend Craft includes an Effects panel with several image adjustment tools. These are Diamond Sharpen for crisp detail, Box Sharpen for broad sharpness across large surfaces, Soften for smoothing transitions and adding blur, and Anti-Aliasing to reduce jagged edges. The panel also covers color correction through Color Balance for lift, gamma and gain, RGB Curves, Hue Correct, and Brightness/Contrast, plus Denoise to remove noise from a render for cleaner results.
Blend Craft is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon is aimed at both Blender newcomers and professionals, and includes documentation to help you get started. A demo video is also available on YouTube for a look at the addon in use.
