A focused renaming utility from VFX Grace covering multiple Blender data types, with preset-based bone naming and a broad range of supported Blender versions.
Bone_Rename is a Blender addon from VFX Grace built for renaming across several data types. It can batch rename bones, objects, materials, and vertex groups, with operations that include adding prefixes and suffixes, replacing specified characters, and deleting specified characters. The addon also lets you add name presets so bones can be named quickly.
Each data type has its own set of tools. For bones, you can use presets to intelligently rename, rename selected bones, add prefixes and suffixes, delete or replace specified characters, and delete bone constraints. Objects, materials, and vertex groups each support renaming, prefix and suffix additions, and character deletion or replacement. Vertex groups can also be deleted through the addon.
Bone_Rename installs through Blender's standard method: open Preferences, go to Add-ons, choose Install, and select the zip. Documentation is provided. Version 1_2_3 added two new sorting methods to “Select bone to rename” in the Bone tab, added support for Blender 2.93, and fixed a bug where some objects failed to rename.
Blender Addon | Bone_Rename is best for blender users who need to batch rename bones, objects, materials, and vertex groups.
Blender Addon | Bone_Rename is completely free to download and use.
Bone_Rename lists support for a wide range of Blender releases, including 2.79b, 2.80, 2.81, 2.81a, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4. Support for Blender 2.93 was added in version 1_2_3. If you are working across older and newer projects, this spread covers many common installations. Check the developer's page to confirm compatibility with the exact version you are running before installation.
Bone_Rename uses Blender's general installation method. Open Preferences, go to the Add-ons section, choose Install, and then select the zip file to install. This is the same procedure used for most Blender addons distributed as a zip archive. Documentation is included with the addon, so you can refer to it for guidance on the renaming tools and presets once installation is complete.
Bone_Rename handles four data types. Beyond bones, it can rename objects, materials, and vertex groups. For objects, materials, and vertex groups, you can rename selections, add prefixes and suffixes, and delete or replace specified characters. Bones additionally support preset-based intelligent renaming and deleting bone constraints, while vertex groups can be deleted through the addon. This makes it a single tool for handling renaming tasks across several parts of a Blender scene.
Bone_Rename is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms may change over time, so for the most current details on price and license it is best to check the developer's page directly. The addon is distributed under the GPL license. For questions about the product, VFX Grace can be contacted through the channels listed on their store and social pages.
