Add-on: Documen documents your .blend files

0

John Roper's new add-on generates extensive HTML documentation for your .blend files.

Hi guys, I just wanted to show you my new addon on the Blender Market, Documen.

Documen allows you to export information about your .blend file to an understandable, mobile-responsive HTML file. This helps you to quickly and easily review your files wherever you are.

Documen's export options are:

  • Quick info about the file
  • An example rendered frame of the file
  • A Frame Board that lists each keyframe or marker in the file and info about it
  • Detailed render settings in the file
  • Differences between that file and another's render settings
  • Information about the global output path and any file output nodes
  • Information about any images that are used in the file
  • A list of any files that are linked to in the file

After working on bigger productions, I realized that our team needed a faster and easier way to review our files before they were sent to the render farm. Tools such as the settings difference checker would help to reduce the number of problems and by extension, the cost of each shot. as I worked, I got feedback by artists about the tools that were needed and Documen was born.
