Render Manager pairs batch rendering across cameras with saveable, loadable render presets, which is a practical combination for repeat multi-camera work.
Render Manager is an addon for Blender built around batch rendering across multiple cameras. Rather than starting each render manually and waiting for one to finish before the next, you select any number of cameras and let the addon render images or animations from each of them automatically in series.
The addon also lets you save all your render settings to a file and load them whenever you want. This makes it possible to build your own library of render presets to reuse across future projects. It works with both Eevee and Cycles settings, so presets can be saved and applied for either engine.
JSoftWorks positions the tool for situations that call for multiple cameras, such as ArchViz and product presentations, where rendering from each camera in turn is necessary. The addon ships with documentation, and a short video tutorial is available for reference.
Render Manager is best for blender users working with multiple cameras for ArchViz, product presentations or similar situations requiring renders from several viewpoints.
Render Manager is completely free to download and use.
Render Manager lists compatibility with a broad range of Blender releases, from the 2.8 series through 3.2. Specifically, the supported versions include 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2. If you are running a version outside this range, check the developer's page from JSoftWorks for the latest compatibility information before you install the addon in your project.
Render Manager works with Eevee and Cycles. You can save render settings to a file for either engine and load them back when you need them, which lets you build a library of presets to reuse in future projects. This applies to the batch rendering workflow across your selected cameras, so you can set up render configurations once and apply them again rather than reconstructing settings each time.
Render Manager is listed as free in this catalog. The addon is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms, refer to the developer's page from JSoftWorks. Documentation is included with the addon, and a short video tutorial is also available to help you get familiar with how the batch camera rendering and preset saving features work in practice.
Render Manager lets you select any number of cameras and render from each of them in series. It starts renders automatically one after another, so you do not need to wait for a render to finish before starting the next. You can render either still images or animations from each camera. JSoftWorks notes this is convenient for cases such as ArchViz and product presentations, where you need to render from multiple cameras.
