RenderRegion Pro 0.1
Snapshot. Compare. Control — Directly In Your Viewport.
Blender's native render region is limited, static, and not built for fast lookdev.
RenderRegion Pro fixes that — giving you full control directly in the viewport.
Draw and resize your region on exactly what matters. Compare snapshots with a live wipe slider to see what each change actually did. Toggle Subdivision, Hair, Instances, Clay override, Denoiser, and Compositor in one click — everything restores automatically. Switch HDRI environments without touching a single panel. In camera view, the region locks and follows your camera automatically.
Monitor your GPU VRAM in real time. Scale the entire UI to your screen. Customize shortcuts, colors, and export format — all from preferences.
This is the missing tool for serious Blender artists.
Once you use it, you can't go back.
Compare Moments Side by Side
Store up to 10 snapshots and drag a live wipe slider between your stored render and the live result. See exactly what your change did — instantly.
Live compare mode — wipe slider between snapshot and live render
