Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library by consolidating renaming across objects, materials, textures, and vertex groups into one interface with a real-time preview before changes are applied.

What is Ultimate Batch Rename Tool?

Ultimate Batch Rename Tool handles bulk renaming across Blender scenes. From one interface you can switch between renaming Objects, Materials, Textures (image nodes), and Vertex Groups, and narrow your selection with filters for "Selected Only" or by object type such as Mesh, Curve, Light, or Armature.

The add-on centers on a live preview that shows a side-by-side Before → After list of all changes in real time before you apply them, with status icons flagging duplicates or errors. Eight independent operation modules can be combined freely: Base Name, RegEx, Find & Replace, Remove & Trim, Case Conversion, Add Text, Sequential Numbering, and Auto Date. Config Presets let you save and reload complete operation configurations directly inside your .blend file.

For game and VFX pipelines, Quick Suffix Presets provide one-click toggles for _low, _high (Substance Painter), and _UCX (Unreal Engine). Data Block Sync automatically renames linked data such as Mesh or Armature when renaming objects, and Parent & Collection can prepend the parent object or collection name to your assets.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Ultimate Batch Rename Tool support?

Ultimate Batch Rename Tool lists support for Blender versions 4.0 through 5.0. If you are running a build within that range, the add-on is intended to work with your version. Because renaming needs can vary between releases, check the developer's page for the most current compatibility details before installing, and note that the listing was published a few months ago so newer information may be available there.

Can Ultimate Batch Rename Tool use regular expressions for renaming?

Ultimate Batch Rename Tool includes a RegEx operation, one of its eight independent modules, letting you apply regular expressions for complex renaming logic. It sits alongside simpler options like Find & Replace with optional case-sensitivity, Remove & Trim, and Add Text for prefixes, suffixes, or inserted text. Because the operations are independent, you can combine RegEx with others to build a naming convention, and the live preview shows the resulting names before you apply the changes.

Does Ultimate Batch Rename Tool help with game engine naming conventions?

Ultimate Batch Rename Tool offers Quick Suffix Presets, one-click toggle buttons for industry-standard tags including _low and _high for Substance Painter and _UCX for Unreal Engine. The tool is noted as suitable for preparing assets for game engines such as Unity and Unreal. Its Data Block Sync also renames linked data like Mesh or Armature when you rename objects, which helps keep files organized when moving assets into an export pipeline.

Is Ultimate Batch Rename Tool free?

Ultimate Batch Rename Tool is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current price and any usage conditions, check the developer's page on Superhive or contact Tesseract Assets directly.
