FrameForge – Documentation

FrameForge is a Blender add-on designed to bring structure to camera management, revision handling, and batch still rendering for architectural visualisation delivery.

It is intended for real-world workflows where multiple cameras and feedback rounds can become error-prone without consistent naming and predictable output folders.

Installation

1. Download the FrameForge .zip file from Superhive

2. Open Blender

3. Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons

4. Click Install… and select the downloaded ZIP file

5. Enable FrameForge

6. In the 3D Viewport, press N to open the sidebar

7. Find FORGEWORKS → FrameForge

Basic Workflow

1. Project Setup

   • Enter project and client names

   • Set a base output directory

2. Camera Sets

   • Refresh the scene camera list

   • Add cameras to sets

   • Enable / disable sets and cameras for batch output

3. Revisions

   • Increase / decrease revision number

   • Optionally set a revision name label

4. Render Presets

   • Switch between Draft and Final presets

   • Use per-camera resolution overrides if needed

5. Batch Render

   • Render enabled camera sets

   • Outputs are saved into structured folders based on project/client/revision

Output Structure

FrameForge creates predictable output folders based on your project, client, and revision settings.
This helps maintain consistency across multiple render passes and delivery rounds.

Compatibility

• Minimum Blender Version: 4.0

• Engines: Cycles and Eevee
