VARIANTS
MANAGER

CREATE, CONTROL & BATCH RENDER SCENE VARIANTS LIKE A PRO


Design smarter, iterate faster, and render efficiently — all within one powerful Blender add-on.


KEY FEATURES

Variants Manager is a Blender production-grade add-on that allows artists, designers, and studios to create unlimited scene variants, control every aspect of them, and batch-render stills or animations with unmatched precision.
Whether you're exploring lighting options, creating multiple product configurations, or delivering client revisions, Variants Manager gives you full control — without cluttering your scene or duplicating work.

Because Blender was never designed to handle complex variant workflows.
Switching materials, hiding objects, tweaking curves, swapping modifiers, or changing camera settings traditionally meant messy collections, duplicate files, or painful manual toggling.

Variants Manager fixes this.
It lets you store, organize, and recall entire scene states instantly.

the way professional tools should work.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

CREATE CAPTURES

Store your scene data into VARIANTS. In these Variants, all objects’ data are captured: Transforms, Visibilities, Materials, Animations, Modifiers… and more. Each time you load a variant, it restores back all information and objects data.


SAVE CHANGES

Nothing is never set in stone. You can adjust, change, refine your scene anytime and save the changes you just made to the variants. This allows great flexibility and complete surgical control over your project.


BATCH RENDER

Variants can be rendered in batch, for maximum efficiency. In literally one click, VARIANTS MANAGER will render the variant(s) of your choice, using the Render Preset you defined (samples, resolution, fps, color format, file paths…)
