Blender - Smart Scene Manager v0.26:
Compared to other more potent or specialized add-ons, SSM (Smart Scene Management) distinguishes itself with a seamlessly integrated positioning. It fosters a design-centric approach, encouraging users to focus on the elegant design process rather than getting entangled in an array of shortcut key operations.
RenderStack (Octane, Luxcore Support):
Two Modes with Render Burst Integration:
- Simple Mode: Similar to "Render Burst" but enhanced with the ability to read SSM attributes for each camera (resolution and exposure values).
- Task Mode: Builds upon the free plugin "Render Burst," offering advanced functionalities for managing rendering tasks.
Render Group Management:
- Organize your rendering tasks into distinct color groups for a cleaner interface.
- Hide groups to streamline the workspace.
- Copy task operator facilitates quick duplication and modification of tasks.
Attribute Overwrite:
- Customize camera attributes within your rendering tasks.
- Modify various attributes for greater control over the rendering process.
Preview Mode:
- Rapidly preview animations by rendering marked tasks with OpenGL into a dedicated preview folder.
Robust Output and Render Layer Separation:
- Comprehensive format output capabilities to meet diverse needs.
- Render layer separation based on view layers, enhances flexibility in post-processing.
SSM presents itself as a sophisticated tool, seamlessly weaving into the design process while offering a range of powerful features through RenderStack for enhanced rendering control and efficiency.
