Monty Batch Exporter

Changelog

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
