Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library as an interface addon that keeps core render actions in Blender's 3D Viewport header.

What is Header Render - Quick Render Settings?

Header Render - Quick Render Settings, an addon from Toon Ups, places essential rendering functions inside Blender's 3D Viewport header. A render engine selector lets you switch between different rendering engines directly from the header. A dedicated button renders the current frame in a single click, suited to generating stills and checking work, while a separate button initiates full animation rendering from the viewport.

The addon is designed to blend with the Blender interface for a non-intrusive experience. Its 1.1 update added a check that confirms the scene has a camera, showing a dialog when none is available along with a button to add a new camera.

Header Render - Quick Render Settings is compatible with a wide span of Blender releases, from the 4.0 generation back to 2.83, and is distributed under a Creative Commons license.

Which Blender versions does Header Render - Quick Render Settings support?

If you run a build outside this list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.

What license is Header Render - Quick Render Settings released under, and is it free?

Header Render - Quick Render Settings is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under a Creative Commons license. Creative Commons terms vary by variant, so the exact permissions for reuse, modification, or redistribution depend on the specific license applied. For current licensing terms and any conditions attached to using the addon, check Toon Ups' developer page, which is the authoritative source for how the addon may be used and shared.

What did the 1.1 update add to Header Render - Quick Render Settings?

Header Render - Quick Render Settings added a camera check in its 1.1 update, released on January 31, 2024. The addon verifies that the scene has a camera and, when none is available, shows a dialog indicating that along with a button to add a new camera. This camera check was the change listed for version 1.1. Its other controls sit in the 3D Viewport header, covering render engine selection, single-frame rendering, and full animation rendering.

Where does Header Render - Quick Render Settings put its controls in Blender?

Header Render - Quick Render Settings places its controls in Blender's 3D Viewport header. From there you can switch between rendering engines using the render engine selector, render the current frame with a dedicated one-click button, and start a full animation render from a separate button. Keeping these functions in the header reduces the clicks needed to trigger common rendering tasks, and the addon is designed to blend with the Blender interface for a non-intrusive experience.
