ShelfMaster is a production-grade asset manager for Blender. Import entire folders in one click, auto-rename and group assets, build PBR materials from nearby textures, and manage everything from a Unity-style Project panel with search, tags, favorites, thumbnails, batch ops, and a file change Watch Mode.
What it does
-
Batch Import:
.fbx .obj .gltf .glb .blendwith safe guards (corrupt .gltf won’t crash your session). -
Auto-Organize: Rename by rule
{file}_{type}_{idx}, collections per file or by type. -
Smart Materials: Auto-assign by name or build Principled PBR from texture sets (albedo/rough/metal/normal/AO/alpha/height).
-
Project Panel: Search, tags, favorites, thumbnails, reveal in Explorer/Finder, statuses (OK / EMPTY / MISSING / STALE / ERROR).
-
Batch Ops: Import All Filtered, Reimport All Stale, Remove All Missing.
-
Watch Mode: Detect changed files on disk and mark them STALE for one-click reimport.
-
Presets: Save/Load all settings to JSON for fast team setup.
