Why we like it

Free Blender Scripts stands out in the superhive library as a grab-bag of 15 focused utilities rather than one large add-on, so you can lean on the specific script a task calls for. Beginner-friendly tutorials help if you are new to running scripts in Blender.

What is Free Blender Scripts?

Free Blender Scripts is a bundle of 15 individual scripts created by ThreeDee for Blender, aimed at repetitive scene-management tasks. Rather than a single tool, it groups small utilities that each handle one job, from organizing the Outliner to preparing objects for export.

The set covers collection work like sorting collections and objects alphabetically, removing empty collections, toggling collection visibility, and clearing visibility keyframes. Object utilities include renaming with a prefix or suffix, batch renaming by type, selecting objects by shared material, aligning selected objects to the active one, and moving objects in a collection to the global origin. Mesh-focused scripts convert curve objects to meshes, batch apply modifiers on selected objects, and generate simplified LOD models for real-time use. A Sequential Object Keyframer animates objects to display one at a time.

Beginner-friendly tutorials on how to use the scripts are available, along with documentation and a demo video. The scripts are created by ThreeDee, who also offers custom Blender scripting.

Who is Free Blender Scripts best for?

Free Blender Scripts is best for blender users looking to speed up repetitive scene-management tasks such as sorting the Outliner, batch renaming, and preparing objects for export.

How much does Free Blender Scripts cost?

Free Blender Scripts is completely free to download and use.

Key features

  • Collection organization: sort collections and objects alphabetically (recursively or within a chosen collection), remove empty collections, and toggle collection visibility with one click
  • Visibility keyframing: clear all visibility keyframes in a collection, plus a Sequential Object Keyframer that animates objects to display one at a time
  • Object renaming: add a prefix or suffix to object names, or batch rename objects by type
  • Transform tools: apply location, rotation, and scale to all objects in a collection, move a collection's objects to the global origin, and align selected objects to the active object
  • Mesh operations: convert curve objects to meshes and batch apply all modifiers on selected objects to bake procedural changes into the mesh
  • LOD generation: create simplified versions of objects for performance optimization in real-time applications
  • Select objects by shared material for bulk editing

Frequently asked questions

How many scripts does Free Blender Scripts include?

Free Blender Scripts includes 15 separate scripts from ThreeDee, each built for a specific Blender task. Collection-focused ones sort, clean up, and toggle visibility of collections; object-focused ones rename by prefix, suffix, or type, select by material, align to the active object, and move objects to the global origin. Mesh scripts convert curves to meshes, batch apply modifiers, and generate simplified LOD models. There is also a Sequential Object Keyframer that animates objects to appear one at a time, giving you one utility per repetitive job.

Is Free Blender Scripts free?

Free Blender Scripts is listed here as free, grouping 15 scripts by ThreeDee at no listed cost. For current licensing terms and any usage conditions, check the developer's page before relying on it in a project. ThreeDee, the creator, also mentions offering custom Blender scripting for anyone who needs work beyond what these scripts cover, so the developer's page is the place to confirm both the free scripts and custom scripting options if you need something more specific.

Are there tutorials for using Free Blender Scripts?

Free Blender Scripts comes with beginner-friendly tutorials on how to use the scripts, which helps if you are new to running scripts inside Blender. A demo video and documentation are also available. Because the bundle is made up of separate scripts covering tasks from collection sorting to LOD generation, the tutorials give a starting point for learning what each one does and how to apply it. For anything unclear, the developer's page and ThreeDee's contact details are the place to follow up.

Can Free Blender Scripts generate LOD models?

Free Blender Scripts includes a Generate LOD Models script that creates simplified versions of objects for performance optimization in real-time applications. It sits alongside other mesh-oriented scripts in the bundle, such as converting curve objects to meshes and batch applying all modifiers on selected objects to bake procedural changes into the mesh. If your workflow involves preparing assets for real-time use, that LOD script plus the transform and origin tools in the set handle several related prep tasks.
