Earns its place in the superhive library for keeping filters accessible across linked files and independent between the viewport and render.
Visibility Set Filters is a Blender addon aimed at helping versioning during a production workflow. Its filters can be applied to any objects, including geometry, cameras and lights, or to collections following the usual inheritance rules. The idea is to work on separate production types by creating your own filters, such as a "draft" filter for a light storyboard scene or a "blockout" filter for animation work without high-poly characters or complex environments. Which filters you build is up to you.
Filter settings for the Viewport3D and for Render are independent from each other. In the Video Sequence Editor the filters work from any workspace and follow the Scene Strip Display > Shading setting: Wireframe, Solid and Material Preview use the Viewport3D filter, while Rendered uses the render filter. The addon was built to be asset-browser proof.
When linked into another Blender file, the filters remain accessible; changing them there requires library overrides through ID Data > Make Library Override Hierarchy in the outliner. Sharing the same filter names across files makes switching between them easy once linked. Documentation is available on the developer's website.
Visibility Set Filters is best for blender artists managing versioning across a production pipeline who want to switch between simplified views such as draft or blockout scenes.
Visibility Set Filters is completely free to download and use.
Visibility Set Filters is listed for a wide range of Blender releases: 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2. The developer also notes it has been tested and approved on Blender 4. If you run one of these versions, the addon and its filters for objects and collections are available to you. For any newer release that is not listed, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before relying on it inside a production file.
Visibility Set Filters remains accessible when its filters are linked into another Blender file. To change those filters from the new file, you need to use library overrides. This is done by right-clicking an object in the outliner and choosing ID Data > Make Library Override Hierarchy. Keeping the same filter names shared across your Blender files also makes it easy to switch between filters once everything has been linked into a new scene.
Visibility Set Filters works from any workspace, including the Video Sequence Editor. In the VSE, its behaviour depends on the Scene Strip Display > Shading setting. Wireframe, Solid and Material Preview modes use the Viewport3D filter setting, while Rendered mode uses the render filter setting. Because the Viewport3D and Render filters are independent from each other, you can configure them separately and let the shading mode decide which one applies to your sequence.
Visibility Set Filters is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The addon is released under the GPL license. Documentation explaining how the filters work across objects, collections, the viewport, render and the Video Sequence Editor is published on the developer's website, which is a useful reference to review alongside any licensing details you find there.
