Quick Apply
Quick Apply is a lightweight, high-performance workflow utility for Blender designed to eliminate repetitive clicks when managing materials and modifiers across multiple objects.
Instead of navigating deep into Blender’s native menus or performing multi-step commands to copy settings, Quick Apply gives you a dedicated sidebar clipboard to copy materials and modifier stacks from an active object and apply them instantly to any number of selected objects.
Key Advantages & Features
- Dedicated Material Clipboard:
- Copy the primary material of any active object with one button.
- Apply it instantly to all selected objects, overwriting their current materials.
- Features a live preview label so you always know what material is currently copied in your clipboard.
- Instant Modifier Linking:
- Capture the entire modifier stack of a source object.
- Apply it to all selected target objects instantly.
- Includes a live source object indicator so you know exactly which modifier stack is queued up.
- One-Click Material Purge:
- Quickly clear all material slots from all selected mesh objects with a single click.
- Non-Intrusive & Highly Integrated UI:
- Access everything directly in the 3D Viewport N-Panel under the Quick Apply tab.
- Clean, minimalist design that doesn't clutter your workspace.
- Native Performance:
- Built on top of Blender's optimized Python API and native linking operators for maximum stability and speed.
