Why we like it

SetWizard stands out in the superhive library because it bundles selection-set management with scene-level controls like camera switching, frame range jumps and render output changes in one interface. It was built with the Serpens addon.

What is Setwizard?

SetWizard is a Blender addon from Alon Abrany built for creating, managing and reusing object selection sets. You can add or remove objects from a set and run set-related actions from a single customizable interface, with the aim of speeding up how you work with objects in a scene.

Beyond basic set management, SetWizard can disable an object's selection in the viewport, hide objects in the viewport or in renders, and make objects Holdout even when their collection isn't marked as Holdout. It also changes object color in the viewport, switches shading mode, shows wireframe on selected objects, and displays object names. Tags let you filter sets in the outliner, and a fast outliner filter and object search by words or tags help you locate items.

The addon also handles frame range changes with jumps between ranges, file and render output path changes, and active camera switching, plus Python commands and drivers. You can create a new collection from an object set. SetWizard is released under the GPL license and lists support for Blender 3.0 through 4.0.

Who is Setwizard best for?

Setwizard is best for blender users who juggle many objects and want selection sets tied to viewport, render, camera and frame-range controls.

How much does Setwizard cost?

Setwizard is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does SetWizard support?

SetWizard lists compatibility with Blender 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0, covering a broad span of releases across the 3.x line and the start of the 4.x series. If you run one of those versions, the addon is a match; for anything newer or older, check the developer's page to confirm current support before installing, since listed compatibility reflects the versions noted at publication rather than every release since.

What license is SetWizard released under?

SetWizard is released under the GPL license. If you plan to modify, redistribute or build on the addon, the GPL terms apply, so it's worth reading them to understand your rights and obligations. Listed licensing here covers the basics but not every condition, so for the exact terms and anything tied to your specific use, the developer's page is the place to check before you rely on it in a production pipeline.

Is SetWizard free to use?

SetWizard is listed as free here. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the current terms and any conditions attached to downloading or using the addon, head to the developer's page before you install. The addon is distributed under the GPL license, which governs how you can use, modify and share it regardless of cost. Checking the developer's page also confirms you're getting the latest build and the most accurate details on how SetWizard is offered.

Can SetWizard make objects Holdout without changing the collection?

SetWizard can make an object Holdout even when its collection isn't marked as Holdout, which sets it apart from working at the collection level alone. Alongside that, the addon lets you disable an object's selection in the viewport, hide it in the viewport, and hide it from renders, all managed per selection set. These controls sit in the addon's interface so you can apply them across the objects in a set. For the full behaviour of the Holdout option, the developer's documentation and demo video are worth a look.
