Why we like it

Blender Screenshooter earns its place for turning per-object image capture into a one-click, multi-view task, outputting transparent PNGs across mesh and armature objects in a scene.

What is Blender Screenshooter?

Blender Screenshooter is an addon from U mocap for automatic image capture inside Blender. With a single click, it captures an image of each object in the current scene and produces transparent PNG files as output. Settings can be adjusted to tailor image quality and the capture process.

You choose which view to generate — front, back, left, top, or bottom — and you can set it to take screenshots from all supported views for each object. Only MESH and Armature objects are captured; the addon no longer generates images from empty objects. Open any Blend file and start creating images from each object in whichever view you need. For example, with multiview active and Left selected, clicking all objects returns a left-view image from every mesh and armature in the scene.

The addon installs like any other Blender addon and is licensed under GPL. It has been tested and confirmed working on Blender 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, and 4.4. A demo video is available.

Who is Blender Screenshooter best for?

How much does Blender Screenshooter cost?

Blender Screenshooter is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Blender Screenshooter work with?

Blender Screenshooter has been tested and confirmed working on Blender 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, and 4.4, with version 4.4 addressed specifically in a later update. The listing spans Blender 4.0 through 4.4 as well as 3.4 through 3.6. The addon was tested on Windows 10 and should run on Windows 11 too. If you work across several Blender releases, opening any Blend file and generating images per object is supported on these versions.

What image format does Blender Screenshooter export?

Blender Screenshooter creates transparent PNG files from each object in your scene. You select which view to render — front, back, left, top, or bottom — and can also set it to capture all supported views for each object. With multiview active, choosing a view such as Left and clicking all objects returns that view for every mesh and armature currently in the scene. Settings can be adjusted to tailor image quality and the capture process to your requirements.

Which objects does Blender Screenshooter capture?

Blender Screenshooter captures MESH and Armature objects in the current scene. As of version 0.0.3, it no longer generates images from empty objects, which previously produced empty images regardless of whether an object had a mesh or armature child. With multiview enabled and a view selected, a single click on all objects returns images from every mesh and armature present. This keeps the output limited to objects that hold geometry or rigs.

How do I install Blender Screenshooter?

Blender Screenshooter installs like any other Blender addon, so the standard addon installation process applies. Once enabled, you can open any of your Blend files and start creating screenshots from each object in whichever view you want, whether front, back, left, top, or bottom. The addon is licensed under GPL. For further guidance, a demo video is available, and the product listing includes documentation.

Is Blender Screenshooter free to use?

Blender Screenshooter is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it for a project. The addon itself is distributed under the GPL license. Once installed, its core function — automatically capturing images of each object in a scene as transparent PNG files from your chosen views — works without manually clicking on each object.
