Why we like it

Sync Render Sets earns its place in the blender_extensions library for a narrow but practical job: consolidating render settings that would otherwise be scattered across scenes and view layers into one panel. The add-on carries a 5.0 rating from a small set of reviews, and its footprint stays small at around 23.7 KB.

What is Sync Render Sets?

Sync Render Sets is a Blender add-on from CP-Design that gathers scene and view layer rendering settings into a single panel. Instead of switching between different scenes or view layers to check whether their settings match, you can view them together in one place.

From that panel, the add-on synchronizes all scene rendering settings along with color spaces, and it synchronizes passes across all view layers. The extension requires no special permissions, keeping installation limited to the add-on itself. It is compact at around 23.7 KB and installs by dragging the file into Blender or using the install-from-disk option.

The current release, version 1.2.1, fixed a code error affecting EEVEE. Sync Render Sets is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Full source and issue reporting live on the developer's page.

Who is Sync Render Sets best for?

Sync Render Sets is best for blender artists who work across multiple scenes and view layers and want render settings, color spaces, and passes checked and synchronized from one panel.

How much does Sync Render Sets cost?

Sync Render Sets is completely free to download and use.
