Why we like it

Covers a broad span of Blender versions from 2.8 to 4.1, and the developer has noted bone numbering is planned for a future version.

What is Increase Objects Number?

Increase Objects Number is a Blender add-on from GilaDDD for shifting the numeric prefix on selected objects up or down. Rather than renaming items one at a time, you select all the objects you want to adjust and press a button to change their numbers.

The workflow runs from the Scene panel. You enter the separator character used between an object's name and its number — a period for names like Cube.001, or an underscore for names like Cube_001 — then press the button to shift the numbers in the chosen direction. This makes it possible to add a new object in the middle of a numbered set without re-numbering everything by hand.

The add-on lists support across a wide range of Blender releases, from 2.8 through 4.1, and is distributed under the GPL license. A demo video is available. The developer notes that a future version will also change the numbers of bones.

Who is Increase Objects Number best for?

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Increase Objects Number support?

Increase Objects Number lists compatibility across a wide range of Blender releases, including 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.93, 2.92, 2.91, 2.9, 2.83, 2.82, 2.81 and 2.8. That span covers both current and older builds, so most users on recent or legacy Blender installations should find a matching version. Check the developer's page to confirm the latest supported release before installing.

How does Increase Objects Number handle object names with numbers?

Increase Objects Number works by reading the separator character between an object's name and its number. You open the Scene panel and enter that separator — a period for names like Cube.001, or an underscore for names like Cube_001. Once the separator is set, you press the button to shift the numbers up or down across your selected objects. This is how the add-on identifies and adjusts the numeric prefix without you retyping each name.

Is Increase Objects Number free?

Increase Objects Number is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license. For any questions about pricing or usage rights, the developer's page is the most reliable place to confirm the current arrangement for this Blender add-on.

Can Increase Objects Number renumber bones as well as objects?

Increase Objects Number currently adjusts the numeric prefix of selected objects. The developer has noted that a future version will also change the numbers of bones, but that capability is described as planned rather than present. For now, the add-on's numbering function applies to objects you select in the scene. Watch the developer's page for updates if bone renumbering is a feature you need in your Blender workflow.
