B- FPS Limiter

RobertRoss_VFX in Interface

B- FPS Limiter is a simple yet powerful tool for Blender that allows you to manually cap the number of frames per second (FPS) displayed in the 3D Viewport. This gives you control over your computer's resource usage, ensuring quieter operation and longer laptop battery life.

🌟 Main Features

  • Viewport FPS Limitation: Cap the 3D Viewport FPS regardless of monitor refresh rate.

  • Cooler & Quieter Computer: Drastically reduces CPU and GPU load, leading to lower temperatures and reduced fan noise.

  • Battery Savings: Ideal for artists on the go — less power consumption enables longer work sessions on a single charge.

  • No File Clutter: Saves settings globally in Blender (WindowManager), not in individual .blend files. Projects stay clean.

  • Intuitive Interface: Quick access to toggle on/off and change the limit directly from the side panel (N-panel) in the 3D Viewport.

🛠️ Installation

  1. Download the addon file (.py or .zip).

  2. In Blender, go to: Edit > Preferences.
