Sequence Loader
This is an addon for Blender 4.2+ (might work with 2.8+ but is not extensively tested on less recent versions) that enables loading of file sequences. All data is loaded just-in-time when the Blender frame changes, in order to avoid excessive memory consumption. By default, the addon is able to load vertices, lines, triangles and quads. It is also able to automatically extract triangle and quad surface meshes from tetrahedral and hexahedral volume meshes. Scalar and vector attributes on vertices are also imported for visualization purposes.
The addon comes bundled together with meshio which enables the loading of geometric data from a multitude of file formats. As stated there, the supported formats are listed in the following. Note that not all of the formats have been tested and some issues may still occur.
Confirmed to support:
.obj.ply.vtk- points
- triangles
- quads
- tets (only surface, automatic extraction)
- hex (only surface, automatic extraction)
It also loads any additional supported data as geometry node attributes that can be used for shading etc.
What's New
0.4.0 January 7th, 2026
- enables using the custom pattern in combination with the load all recursive sequence import to filter out only specific sequences
- fixes a bug that occurred in conjunction with the splashsurf studio addon
Very useful add-on! I use it all the time to render simulation results!
