🎨 VariantFlow — Blender Add-on
Developed by Adam As
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN YOU CLICK "RENDER ALL VARIANTS," BLENDER MAY APPEAR TO BE FROZEN OR NOT RESPONDING. DON'T WORRY! THE RENDERING PROCESS IS STILL RUNNING. PLEASE GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH. RENDERING TIME DEPENDS ON YOUR SCENE COMPLEXITY, CAMERA SETUP, RENDER ENGINE, RESOLUTION, AND RENDER SETTINGS. DO NOT FORCE-CLOSE BLENDER WHILE RENDERING!
🚀 Create, Manage & Render Multiple Camera Views with Ease!
VariantFlow is a Blender add-on designed to simplify camera management, scene variations, and batch rendering. Instead of manually switching cameras and rendering each shot individually, VariantFlow lets you organize everything in one place and automate your workflow.
🛠️ How Does It Work?
- 📸 Select Your Camera
Choose any camera in your Blender scene. VariantFlow allows you to create a variant linked directly to that camera.
- 💾 Capture Your Variant
Click Capture Variant to save the current scene setup. The variant is automatically named after your selected camera, making it easy to identify each shot.
- 🖼️ Preview Your Camera
Click Refresh Viewport Thumbnail to generate a small preview showing what your selected camera sees.
- 🔄 Switch Between Variants
Simply select a variant from the list. Blender automatically activates its assigned camera and switches the viewport to that camera's perspective.
- 🎬 Render All Variants
Once your variants are ready, click Render All Variants. VariantFlow processes each saved variant using its assigned camera, eliminating repetitive manual camera switching.
