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.
|
|

|
|
|
> 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.
|
|
|
|
Your templates will be added in the `File > New` menu and in the Splash Screen *(according to preferences)*.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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!*
|
|
#### Import/Export
|
|
|
|
When your templates are ready, you can export the list to JSON file.
|
|
This way, you will be able to easily restore your templates, if necessary.
|
|
*For example, after disabling and re-enabling the add-on...*
