Blender Queue v2.00 Update

Released August 6, 2024:

Projects Panel: Create separate project files where you can add and organize the scenes you’re working on. Each project file is an independent JSON that can be saved to your hard drive and reloaded whenever you need to continue working on that project.

Render Settings: Customize key render settings, such as render samples and output format, for multiple files all in one place.

Customize Everything – Addon Preferences: Enable or disable almost any feature to keep the UI as clean and efficient as possible, tailoring the addon to your specific workflow needs.

Preserve UI While Opening Files: Maintain Blender’s user interface layout and settings when switching between blend files from your list, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow.

Edit Item: Change the display name or retarget the item to a different file and scene.

Duplicate Item: Duplicate the item in the list with one click. This is useful if you want to experiment with different rendering settings using the same scene.

Rendering Overview Panel: Provides a comprehensive overview of the rendering process, including overall progress, item-specific progress, time left, loading bars, items completed, and items pending.
