Why we like it

Sound After Render earns a spot in the superhive library for one focused job: turning a completed render into an audible cue, with a library of 40+ sounds and a default that can cover every scene.

What is Sound After Render?

Sound After Render is a Blender add-on that plays a sound once your render is finished, notifying you through audio when the work is done. You can choose from more than 40 different sounds to signal completion.

The add-on's settings sit in the viewport side panel, opened by pressing N, under the Tools section. An update introduced the ability to override sounds for every scene with a single default sound configured in the preferences, so one choice can apply across your file. Documentation is included for reference, and a demo video is available.

Sound After Render is built as a Blender Extension and lists compatibility with Blender versions 2.93 through 5.1. It is distributed under the GPL license by Blender.Fun. Two ratings on superhive give it a five-star average. For current details on licensing and setup, the developer's page is the place to check.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sound After Render work with Blender 5.1?

Sound After Render lists compatibility with Blender versions 2.93 through 5.1, so it covers a wide span of releases including 5.1. It is also marked as a Blender Extension. Because add-on behaviour can shift between Blender releases, checking the developer's page for the latest confirmation on your exact version is worthwhile before relying on it in a project. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license by Blender.Fun.

Where are Sound After Render's settings in Blender?

Sound After Render places its settings in the viewport side panel. Press N to open the panel, then look under the Tools section to find the add-on's options. From there you can pick the sound that plays once a render finishes. A default sound can also be set for all scenes through the add-on preferences, which overrides the per-scene choice. Documentation is included if you need a reference while configuring it.

Can Sound After Render use the same sound across all scenes?

Sound After Render lets you override the sound for all scenes with a default sound set in the add-on preferences. This option arrived with an update, so instead of configuring a sound per scene, you can define one default that applies across your file. The per-scene sound selection remains available in the viewport side panel under Tools, where you can choose from more than 40 sounds.

Is Sound After Render free?

Sound After Render is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading.
