Earns its place in the superhive library for pulling auto-framing, lighting presets and render profiles into one panel for Blender.
Showcase Studio is a portfolio render pipeline add-on for Blender from 3DQuads. It centers on a single panel that handles auto-framing, lighting and rendering for any model. An auto-frame camera adapts to different model sizes.
Smart camera framing offers eight angle presets, and lighting presets range from a basic set in the Lite edition up to eighteen in the Ultimate edition. Background options cover solid, gradient and transparent setups, while a floor plane can be switched between flat and cyclorama modes. Render profiles move from preview to final output, with a social profile included, and hardware detection is built in.
The add-on works with Blender versions 4.5 through 5.1 and supports both the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It's marked as Blender extension compatible, contributes to the Blender Dev Fund, and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is available, along with a demo video.
Showcase Studio is best for blender artists preparing portfolio-ready renders of their models from a single panel.
Showcase Studio is completely free to download and use.
