Why we like it

Stands out in the Superhive library for handling the tedious file-by-file loop, batch rendering, renaming, and scene setup, through a single Python script and a pick-folder-and-run panel.

What is Blender Batch Execution Tools?

Blender Batch Execution Tools is a Blender addon that runs a custom Python script across an entire folder of .blend files, so you don't have to open each one to apply the same change. You write your code once, and the addon handles the file-by-file loop. Common jobs include batch rendering overnight, renaming objects across projects, and applying uniform scene settings.

The addon offers optional subfolder recursion to process whole project trees, save-version control that lets you set the version count to zero to skip backup files, and external resource packing so .blend files stay self-contained and portable. It can also purge unused data blocks automatically. Progress reporting and logging show which files were processed and any errors that came up. The UI is simple: pick a directory and a script, then click Run.

Built for studios, freelancers managing client libraries, and TDs maintaining asset collections, it works with Blender 3.0 and newer on Windows, macOS, and Linux using standard Blender Python.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blender Batch Execution Tools work with Blender 3.0?

Blender Batch Execution Tools supports Blender 3.0 and newer, and it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It uses standard Blender Python, so there are no extra dependencies to add on top of your existing install. After installing the addon, you'll find its panel in the sidebar under the Batch Execution tab, where you choose a directory and a Python script to run. If you're on a supported Blender version and one of these operating systems, the addon fits into your current setup.

How do I install Blender Batch Execution Tools?

Blender Batch Execution Tools installs through Blender's add-on system: go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install and add the file. Once enabled, open the Sidebar and switch to the Batch Execution tab to find the panel. From there you pick a folder of .blend files and a Python script, choose your recursion, save-version, and packing options, then click Run. The addon then iterates through every .blend file in the target folder for you.

What options does Blender Batch Execution Tools offer when running a script?

Blender Batch Execution Tools includes several options for each run. Optional subfolder recursion processes .blend files across whole project trees. Save-version control lets you set the version count to zero to skip backup files. External resource packing keeps .blend files self-contained and portable, and automatic cleanup purges unused data blocks. Progress reporting and logging show which files were processed and any errors that occurred, so you can review the outcome after an unattended run.
