Mimosa stands out in the superhive library because it captures the state of the scene per shot — collection visibility and keyframed day/night states — rather than only registering cameras and per-camera resolution.
Mimosa - Shot-List Batch Renderer is a Blender add-on for building a shot list and rendering it all in one pass. Pressing Capture Shot records the state you're looking at, and pressing Render Shots batches the whole list.
Each shot keeps four things together: the active scene camera, a timeline frame for keyframed states like day and night, an X/Y resolution set per shot, and which collections are visible — furniture, finishes or layout variants. Because every shot renders as its own job, its resolution always applies, and a multi-scene queue lets you line up several scenes and render them back to back.
Mimosa gives each shot a sequential filename and leaves Blender's render settings and your Compositor File Output nodes to do what you set them to — AOVs, multi-pass, EXR, color management and path branching. It's aimed at archviz, product and interior CG artists who shoot one scene from many angles, states and resolutions in a single batch. It runs on Blender 4.x and 5.x and triggers Blender's own render, so it works with whatever engine the scene uses.

Mimosa - Shot-List Batch Renderer is completely free to download and use.
Mimosa - Shot-List Batch Renderer runs on Blender 4.x and 5.x, including the 4.2 and 4.3 LTS releases, and it has been tested on 4.2, 4.5 and 5.1. It's distributed as a Blender add-on and is listed as compatible with Blender's extension system. It is also render-engine independent, since it triggers Blender's own render rather than replacing it, so it works with whatever engine your scene is set to use, such as Cycles or EEVEE.

That means it works with whatever engine your scene is set to use, including Cycles and EEVEE. It also gives each shot a sequential filename and leaves Blender's render settings and your Compositor File Output nodes in place, so AOVs, multi-pass output, EXR, color management and path branching keep working exactly as you configured them.
Mimosa - Shot-List Batch Renderer keeps four things together in every shot: the active scene camera, a timeline frame for keyframed states like day and night, an X/Y resolution set per shot, and which collections are visible, such as furniture, finishes or layout variants. You press Capture Shot to record the current state and Render Shots to batch the whole list. Because each shot renders as its own job, its resolution always applies to that render.
