Take timed screenshots inside Blender

How to use?

  1. Change the intervals to your own preferences, this is in seconds, so every "__" seconds, it'll take a screenshot, this is using blender's in built screenshot function.
  2. Set your preferred image format, currently only JPG/PNG since I don't see a point in using others.
  3. Set a custom directory if needed, if not, it'll auto save into a file called "Timelapse" where you saved your blend file.
  4. Press Start/Stop.
  5. Click on Open Folder

this is nice. you should add a feature that compiles the frames into an mp4. and i think it would also be cool if we can choose which viewport panel it screenshots, so we can have a fixed camera location on a viewport instead of the timelapse being erratic camera movements

Was looking for something to record timelapses from within Blender, and this works really well for what I need! Thank you!
