Character Assembler Blender Plugin

A custom-built tool designed to streamline asset management, rendering, and VRM exports within Blender.

Overview

Managing assets, setting up renders, and keeping everything organized can easily turn into a tedious, time-consuming process. That’s why Collection Manager was created: an in-house Blender plugin designed to streamline asset management, rendering, and VRM exports in a way that just makes sense.

Blender is powerful, but when working on large projects with dozens or even hundreds of assets, keeping everything under control is a challenge. Collection Manager was built out of necessity to optimize the way technical artists and 3D professionals work smarter.

It brings structure, speed, and automation to Blender’s workflow, helping teams deliver faster without compromising quality.

A must for the project.

I developed this plugin for Frontfutur, in order to enable advanced and fast management of 3D assets for better verification, rendering and export. By using one of the projects in-house, along with artists and executives, I planned and designed what ended up being a life-saver and needed tool for big projects.
