Customizing Your Startup File in Blender

2

Kent Tramell shows us how to leverage Blender's startup file to customize it to your taste.

As an open source application, Blender is naturally very customizable. Of course like most programs, we can modify User Preferences, save render presets, build custom UI themes, and save layout presets. But beyond User Preferences, Blender allows us to customize our the startup scene. With the startup.blend file we have incredible freedom to tailor Blender so it launches with our exact specifications.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. When I discovered how to customize my startup-file I was amazed.
    I keep it in my Dropbox so I can access it where ever I am (along with my addon library) and still modyfing it until today wherever I find something to fit to my needs.

    It's incredibly powerful and can speed up workflows :)
