Rin.Rename

RIn.Rename works with hidden scene objects, which Blender's default renaming tools cannot reach in the outliner. It also follows selection order: as you select or deselect objects in the viewport, the tool tracks the order, so applied numbering follows the exact sequence in which objects were selected. This makes custom naming sequences straightforward, an area where Blender's batch rename tool does not preserve selection order. The addon supports collections, bones, and shape keys alongside object names.

RIn.Rename uses an intuitive numbering system: type your desired format, such as hello_01, and the addon automatically increments the number for each selected object, producing hello_02, hello_03, and so on. There is no need to manually define separators or padding. You can also change the numbering format and number objects using sequences from A to Z. Because the tool follows selection order, the numbers follow the exact order in which objects were selected in the viewport.

RIn.Rename lets you export names to a CSV spreadsheet, or export selected objects or all objects as a text file. You can then edit the names in an external editor and bring them back. A recent update also added material name import and export, letting you edit material names outside Blender using CSV or text files. This suits bulk editing when you prefer working in a spreadsheet or text application rather than inside the Blender interface.

RIn.Rename is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing details and any terms of use, check the developer's page. The addon includes documentation, and a demo video is available. Recent updates have added features such as Favourites for saving frequently used prompts with /1 through /9 shortcuts, chained commands, single selection mode with immediate updates, per-object input fields, and a native fallback to Blender's built-in rename tool in single selection mode.
