Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library by keeping task boards, progress tracking, and team notes inside Blender's own node editor, with an optional Git-style sync for shared work.

What is Nodeplanner - Plan Your Workflow 📝 Build A Storyboard?

NodePlanner adds task and project management inside Blender through a custom node-based editor. You build task boards as node trees, giving each one a name and a color to tell them apart, and you can switch between boards, reorder them, delete unused ones, and read an at-a-glance progress percentage for each.

The Task Node holds your to-do items, added through an Add Task button. Each task can be a text item, an object reference tied to a 3D object in your scene, or a collection reference pointing to a project collection. Checkboxes track progress, and the node's completion percentage updates automatically in the NodePlanner Panel. Note Nodes let you leave messages with read/unread states, and both users can contribute to the same note in shared workflows.

For teams or multi-device setups, the optional Sync feature pushes and pulls node tree updates like Git. You can sync through a GitHub repository using a token, or through a shared local folder handled by cloud apps such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install NodePlanner in Blender?

NodePlanner installs like a standard Blender add-on. Open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, then enable NodePlanner after installation. Once active, open a new editor window and switch its type to the NodePlanner Editor from the dropdown menu, then click Add Node Tree in the NodePlanner Panel to create your first task board. You can give each board a name and assign it a color to tell boards apart. No extra setup is required to start planning solo, so you can begin adding task nodes right away.

Does NodePlanner need GitHub to work?

NodePlanner's sync feature is optional and aimed at teams or people working across multiple devices, so solo users can skip it entirely. To sync through GitHub, enter a GitHub Token in the add-on preferences and set a user name your team recognizes, then use the sync buttons to push and pull node tree updates like Git. Alternatively, you can sync a shared local folder handled by cloud apps such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox, keeping that folder syncing on your machine while you work.

What can I link a NodePlanner task to?

NodePlanner tasks can take one of three types inside a Task Node. A text task is a basic to-do item, an object reference links to a 3D object in your Blender scene, and a collection reference points to a collection in your project. You add tasks with the Add Task button and check them off as you go, and the node's completion percentage updates automatically in the NodePlanner Panel. Note Nodes are separate and let you leave messages with read/unread states for yourself or collaborators.

Is NodePlanner free to use?

NodePlanner is listed as free here in our catalog. For the latest licensing terms and any conditions, check the developer's page from DevBud Games before relying on it for commercial projects. A demo video is also available. The add-on keeps task planning inside Blender through a node-based editor, so once installed you can create task boards, add task and note nodes, and optionally set up sync for team collaboration.
