Control Render Regions ships cross-platform builds and targets the Blender 4.2 LTS baseline, so it slots into current Blender installs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Control Render Regions is a Blender add-on created by nukkio for working with render regions in Blender. It's distributed through the Blender Extensions library and currently sits at version 1.0.12, last updated on September 28, 2024.
The add-on supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Separate builds are provided for Windows, macOS on Intel, macOS on Apple Silicon, and Linux. Installation follows Blender's standard extension flow: drag and drop the downloaded file into a Blender window, or download it and install from disk through the preferences. Each platform ships as its own downloadable package.
Control Render Regions is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is listed here as free. For current licensing terms, version details and platform downloads, check the developer's page.
Control Render Regions is best for blender 4.2 LTS and newer users on Windows, macOS or Linux who want an add-on for controlling render regions.
Control Render Regions is completely free to download and use.
Control Render Regions targets Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so a 4.2 install meets its minimum requirement. Releases below 4.2 aren't listed as supported. Because it's distributed as a Blender extension, you add it through Blender's extensions system, and the version catalogued here is 1.0.12, last updated on September 28, 2024. For the exact supported range and any newer releases, check the developer's page before installing.
Control Render Regions provides separate builds for Windows, macOS on Intel, macOS on Apple Silicon, and Linux. Each platform comes as its own downloadable package, so you choose the build that matches your machine. There's an Intel version and an Apple Silicon version for Mac users specifically, which matters when picking the right download on newer versus older hardware. Grab the package for your operating system from the developer's page, then add it to Blender.
Control Render Regions installs the same way as other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the downloaded add-on file directly into a Blender window, or download the package and install it from disk through Blender's preferences. Both routes are offered for each platform build. Make sure you're on Blender 4.2 LTS or newer first, since that's the minimum this add-on targets. The developer's page links to Blender's documentation on installing extensions if you need step-by-step guidance.
Control Render Regions is listed here as free, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license governs how you can use, modify and redistribute the add-on. Licensing and availability can change over time, so for the current terms and the most up-to-date release, check the developer's page rather than relying on a cached listing. The version catalogued here is 1.0.12, updated on September 28, 2024.
