Custom Templates - Add-On

Have you ever wanted to customize new projects?

Custom Templates Add-On allows you to use your own .blend files as template options for new projects.

Preferences

In the add-on preferences, you can manage the list of your custom template files.

You can add, remove and reorder templates.

Each template has it's Name, and Path to the .blend file.

Custom Templates Preferences

Note that, as of now, using wrong file paths will NOT show any warning and you will get an error while opening the template.
Be sure to use only valid .blend files as path.

How to use

You can always open the add-on preferences using the button File > Defaults > Manage templates.

Instead of using preferences, you can select a new template file using File > Defaults > Select new custom template, or, if you have a .blend file open, you can use File > Defaults > Use current as new template. This functions will open a popup where you can also set the Name for the new template

File > Defaults menu with the add-on custom buttons
