Why we like it

Manifest earns its place in the Superhive library as a focused utility for surveying the meshes in a Blender scene, from a Development Fund contributor.

What is Manifest?

Manifest is a script for Blender that generates a list of all the meshes in a scene used by objects. It reports a count of all mesh instances you select and shows their dimensions, producing what amounts to a manifest of the meshes in a scene.

According to its developer, Anthony Aragues, the tool is useful when planning a project with materials or when checking for objects that should have linked data. It was built by the creator for personal use and then shared. The script is also available on GitHub for those who prefer to obtain it that way.

Manifest ships with documentation and is distributed under the GPL license. A demo video is available, and the developer is a Blender Development Fund contributor. It sits in the Superhive library among scripts aimed at scene organisation and inspection tasks.

Who is Manifest best for?

Manifest is best for blender users planning projects with materials or checking for objects that should have linked data.

How much does Manifest cost?

Manifest is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Manifest support?

Manifest lists support for Blender versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. If you are working in one of these releases, the script is intended to run in your setup. For versions outside this range, check the developer's page or the GitHub repository for the latest compatibility details before installing, since the listed support reflects the versions stated at publication rather than every possible Blender build you might be running.

Is Manifest free to use?

Manifest is listed as free here in the catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license, and the developer, Anthony Aragues, is a Blender Development Fund contributor. For current licensing terms and any details about how the script is offered, refer to the developer's page. The script can also be obtained from GitHub if you prefer to get it there rather than through the store listing.

Where can I get Manifest besides the store page?

Manifest can be found on GitHub if you prefer to obtain it that way, in addition to its store listing. The tool ships with documentation to help you get started, and a demo video is available. The script was made by Anthony Aragues for his own use and then shared, so both distribution points reflect the same simple utility for listing scene meshes.
