I released a free Blender extension called Blend Project Packer.

It packages a saved Blender project into a self-contained folder or zip, making it easier to move, share, archive, or render on another machine without paths and dependencies breaking.

A .blend can work fine on your machine, but break somewhere else because some texture, linked library, cache, image sequence, UDIM, VDB, render output path, compositor output path, or add-on dependency still points back to the original workstation.

The extension works locally/offline and packs from a copy of the project, so the original .blend is left untouched.

It scans for external dependencies and portability issues, copies project files, rewrites paths to portable // paths, warns about missing files or risky setup, and writes a manifest/report showing what was copied, rewritten, missing, or still needs attention.

The main use cases are project handoff, archiving, moving between computers, and preparing files for remote rendering i.e. in render farms.
