ReadMe.md

Settings Manager is an addon to simplify saving and loading project settings across multiple Blender files. It helps in the following areas:

  1. Standardizing metadata (like copyright info) across projects. This means your company can decide in a single copyright notice that you can easily apply across all projects.
  2. Standardizing rendering engines and all of their associated complex settings across projects
  3. Ever do a tutorial where your results don't match those of the tutorial? Well now you can quickly ensure that your Blender settings match those of the tutorial author!

Installation

Download and install the compiled version of the addon in the usual manner for Blender

Limitations

Settings Manager does not save and load every single setting in your Blender file. Here are some types of settings that it will not handle:

No Plans for the Future

  1. Object Data - I have no plans to store object data in the future. That's what the .blend is for
  2. Scene cameras, backgrounds and other complex items - I do not plan to add these in the future

Possible Future Expansion

I am considering adding the following to the Settings Manager addon in the future, expecially if there is any demand for it.

  1. Materials - I do plan to add materials, simply because that's where I sometimes come across problems when following tutorials.
  2. Textures
