Why we like it

A fork of MrTriPie's Super Batch Export, this add-on earns its place in the Blender extensions library for its range of export modes and format support, plus FBX LOD generation aimed at game-engine pipelines.

What is Super Duper Batch Exporter?

Super Duper Batch Exporter is a Blender add-on that exports to multiple files in one click, aimed at consistent output to game engines and other 3D software. It's a fork of MrTriPie's Super Batch Export. The add-on works with Blender collections, viewport and render visibility to organize the export workflow and cut down repeated actions.

It uses standard Blender export presets and lets you set an Output Directory, Prefix and Suffix, plus Location, Rotation or Scale on export so models can stay in an organized layout while exports land at (0,0,0). You can limit objects by visibility or filter by type, and choose a mode that writes a file per object, parent object, collection, object or parent with collections as sub-directories, or scene. Supported formats include DAE, ABC, USD, SVG, PDF, OBJ, PLY, STL, FBX and glTF.

For FBX, it can create LODs on export using the decimate modifier, which Unreal and Unity set up automatically on import. All options are stored in the .blend file, and a Project Directory preference sets a base path per machine or user. The UI can sit in the Top Bar, N-panel or 3D Viewport Header.

Who is Super Duper Batch Exporter best for?

Super Duper Batch Exporter is best for blender users exporting many files to game engines and other 3D software, especially those organizing scenes with collections and needing per-object output settings.

How much does Super Duper Batch Exporter cost?

Super Duper Batch Exporter is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Super Duper Batch Exporter work with Blender 4.2?

Super Duper Batch Exporter is listed as compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. If you're on that version or a later release, the add-on should install and run. It can be added by dragging and dropping the extension into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. For older Blender versions, the developer's page is the place to confirm support, since only Blender 4.2 LTS and newer is listed. The current version is 2.8.2.

What file formats can Super Duper Batch Exporter export?

Super Duper Batch Exporter supports DAE, ABC, USD, SVG, PDF, OBJ, PLY, STL, FBX and glTF. It uses standard Blender export presets, and you can set the output directory along with a prefix and suffix for the files it writes. Export modes let you produce a file per object, per parent object, per collection, with collections as sub-directories, or per scene. FBX exports also support automatic LOD creation, which game engines like Unreal and Unity set up on import.

How do I install Super Duper Batch Exporter?

Super Duper Batch Exporter can be added by dragging and dropping the extension file into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. Once installed, its interface can be placed in the Top Bar, the N-panel, or the 3D Viewport Header, whichever suits your layout. All of the add-on's options are stored in the .blend file, so your export settings persist between sessions. A Project Directory preference lets you set a base path specific to your machine or user.

Is Super Duper Batch Exporter free to use?

Super Duper Batch Exporter is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It's also a fork of MrTriPie's Super Batch Export. For the latest on licensing and terms, the developer's page is the best reference. The add-on requests a Files permission to export files to disk and create subdirectories in the output directory, which is what it needs to write your exported files.

How does automatic LOD creation work on FBX export in Super Duper Batch Exporter?

Super Duper Batch Exporter offers automatic LOD creation as an FBX-only feature, generated on export using the decimate modifier. Game engines like Unreal and Unity will automatically set up LOD on import, so the levels of detail carry through to the engine. This sits alongside the add-on's other export options and its support for formats like glTF, OBJ, USD and STL. Version 2.8.2 also refactored the add-on for faster exports and fixed the Limit To: Selected option.
