Earns its place in the superhive library for a small, focused job: snapshotting viewport and camera angles and flipping between them, backed by a mini button that works even when the panel is closed.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks lets you snapshot angles in Blender and switch between them without keying or animating. Adding a bookmark is a single click: it detects the 3D view and adds either a perspective bookmark or a camera bookmark automatically. The add-on stores nearly everything about the camera or view, leaves your animations unaffected, and saves the bookmarks with your file.
Restoring takes one click regardless of camera or perspective type, automatically switching camera types and restoring all the stored settings. You can update a bookmark to a new angle with the up arrow, create as many as you like, and name, update or delete them directly. A mini button works even when the panel is closed: click to cycle through bookmarks, Ctrl-click to create a new one.
The panel can be shown as an N-Panel or in the Properties panel, set through the add-on preferences. It's compatible as a Blender extension and released under the GPL license. Blender also includes a built-in camera bookmarks add-on, though that one lacks the mini button and hotkey capability.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks is best for blender users who set up multiple camera and viewport angles and want to save and switch between them without animating.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks is completely free to download and use.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks lists compatibility with Blender 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3 and 3.2. It is also available in Blender 4.2 extension format and is marked as Blender extension compatible. That range spans several release cycles, so you can install it whether you're on a current build or an older 3.x version. For the latest confirmed compatibility, check the developer's page before installing.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks includes a mini button intended to avoid screen clutter, and it works even when the panel is closed. A single click cycles through your bookmarks, while Ctrl-click creates a new bookmark, keeping quick bookmarking available without the full panel open. Alongside it, the main panel can be displayed as an N-Panel or in the Properties panel, set through the add-on preferences, so you can choose how much interface stays on screen.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks stores nearly everything about a camera or view, and animations are completely unaffected by the bookmarks you create. The bookmarks are also saved with your Blender file. Restoring one takes a single click regardless of camera or perspective type: it automatically switches camera types and restores all the stored settings. You can also update a bookmark to a new angle by pressing the up arrow, and create, name or delete as many as you like.
Qol Tools: Camera Bookmarks is listed as free in this catalog. It is released under the GPL license and is available as a Blender extension format add-on. The same tool is also offered as part of the QOL Tools: Full Collection package. Blender itself includes a built-in camera bookmarks add-on, but that one lacks this add-on's mini button and hotkey capability. For current licensing details, check the developer's page.
