Blender allows you to save you own .blend file to use on startup.
|
|
|
|
This is great, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to create **your own templates**?
|
|
|
|
**Custom Templates** allows you to use your own .blend files as template options for new projects.
|
|
|
|
> Your templates will be added in the `File > New` menu and in the Splash Screen *(according to preferences)*.
|
|
|
|
*You can follow this [steps to get started](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/custom_templates_addon/wiki/Getting-Started).*
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
*Instead of being limited to the usual options Blender offers to start a new project (General, 2D Animation, Sculpting, VFX, Video Editing), you will be able to configure your own list of .blend files.*
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Create your own templates or find the ones that best suit your needs online.
|
|
|
|
*Customize workspaces, preset your usual materials, define additional windows or anything else you would like to have from the beginning.*
|
|
|
|
*The only limit is your immagination!*
