Why we like it

Blender Collab Pro earns its place in the superhive library by tackling one specific problem: getting multiple people into the same Blender scene at once. It leans on real-time sync, object locking and presence awareness instead of passing files back and forth, and ships under an MIT license with documentation included.

What is Blender Collab Pro?

Blender Collab Pro is a Blender addon from Skava that turns a single scene into a shared workspace, letting several people edit it together in real time. Changes appear as they happen, so teams can drop file sharing and version conflicts and work directly on the same project instead.

Sessions start with one click: host on your local network or connect remotely, then join and begin working. Automatic change detection keeps the scene in sync, and transforms, mesh edits and materials all update across every connected user. Object locking lets you claim what you're editing to prevent clashes, while full history with undo/redo tracks each change made during the session.

A built-in chat keeps communication inside Blender, and presence awareness shows who is working on what at any moment. The UI is described as lightweight and non-intrusive, and the addon supports Blender 4.0 and later across the Cycles and Eevee render engines.

Who is Blender Collab Pro best for?

Blender Collab Pro is best for animation studios collaborating on scenes, game dev teams working on assets together, educators teaching Blender in real time, and remote teams working simultaneously.

How much does Blender Collab Pro cost?

Blender Collab Pro is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blender Collab Pro work with Blender 4.0?

Blender Collab Pro works with Blender 4.0 and later, listed for versions 4.0 through 5.0, and supports the Cycles and Eevee render engines. During a session, transforms, mesh edits and materials all synchronise between users, and automatic change detection keeps the shared scene up to date. Object locking lets you claim what you're working on to prevent conflicts, while full undo/redo history tracks every change made. Check the developer's page to confirm the exact Blender build you're running is covered.

How do I start a collaboration session in Blender Collab Pro?

Blender Collab Pro sets up a session in three steps: install the addon, then click either Host Session or Connect, and start working together. You can host a session on your local network or connect remotely, so teammates in the same room or in different locations can join the same scene. Presence awareness shows who is working on what in real time, and a built-in chat lets everyone communicate without leaving Blender. See the developer's page for setup documentation.

Can Blender Collab Pro be used remotely or only on a local network?

Blender Collab Pro supports both local and remote collaboration. You can host a session on your local network or connect remotely, letting remote teams work simultaneously on one Blender scene. Real-time sync shows teammates' changes as they happen, and automatic change detection keeps everyone aligned without file sharing or version conflicts. Object locking prevents two people from editing the same object at once. For details on network setup, check the developer's page and the included documentation.

Is Blender Collab Pro free, and what license does it use?

Blender Collab Pro is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the MIT license. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it in a studio pipeline. The addon works with Blender 4.0 and later across the Cycles and Eevee render engines, and documentation is provided to help you get a session up and running.
