Monty Batch Exporter
Batch-export objects, collections, or scenes as individual files.
Batch-export objects, collections, or scenes as individual files from Blender — with full control over naming, filtering, and output structure.
Features
- Multiple export scopes — selected objects, collections, scenes, or all mesh objects across scenes
- 8 supported formats — FBX, glTF/glb, OBJ, USD, Alembic, STL, PLY, Collada
- Configurable naming — prefix, suffix, separator, object/collection name tokens, zero-padded counters
- Subdirectory grouping — organise output by prefix or collection name
- Name-based filtering — restrict exports to items matching a prefix or suffix
- Native export presets — use Blender's built-in presets (e.g. FBX scale, axis, mesh options)
- Export at origin — temporarily move objects to world origin during export
- LOD packing — group LOD variants (e.g. Cube_LOD0, Cube_LOD1) into a single file
- Texture export — copy referenced textures into a subfolder per material
- Save/Load config — persist export settings as JSON for reuse or CI pipelines
- CLI support — run headless batch exports from the command line
Usage
File → Export → Batch Export… opens the export dialog where you configure scope, format, naming rules, and advanced options. Click Export to batch-export all items.
Command-Line
blender myfile.blend --background --python cli.py -- --config batch_export_config.json
What's New
1.0.0 March 12th, 2026
v1.0.0 — Initial Release
Monty Batch Exporter is a Blender 4.2+ extension that replaces repetitive one-at-a-time exports with a single batch operation.
Features
- 4 export scopes — Selected objects, active collection, all scenes, or all mesh objects in the file
- 8 formats — FBX, glTF/GLB, OBJ, USD, Alembic, STL, PLY, Collada (DAE)
- Configurable naming engine — Prefix, suffix, separator, object name, collection name, and zero-padded counter tokens; live filename preview updates as you type
- Subdirectory grouping — Automatically organise exports into subfolders by collection or prefix
- Name filtering — Export only objects whose names match a given prefix or suffix pattern
- Native preset support — Loads your existing Blender FBX/glTF/OBJ export presets; no need to re-enter settings
- Export at origin — Temporarily zeros out object transforms during export and restores them afterwards
- LOD packing — Groups LOD variants into a single exported file
- Texture export — Copies referenced textures alongside exported meshes
- Save/Load config — Round-trips all settings to/from a JSON file for pipeline reuse
- Headless mode — Drive exports from the command line via
blender "scene.blend" --background --python-expr \
"import bpy; bpy.ops.batch_exporter.load_config('EXEC_DEFAULT', filepath=r'config.json'); bpy.ops.batch_exporter.export('EXEC_DEFAULT')"
Requirements
- Blender 4.2 or later
Known Limitations
- Cross-scene export requires all target scenes to share the same active view layer configuration
- Preset loading supports operator-level presets only; post-export scripts in presets are ignored
