|
One Panel to
|
| ✓ Add prefixes and suffixes in one click — no retyping the whole name |
| ✓ Select targets and rename them with sequential numbering, dynamic variables, and precise pattern matching |
✓ Drop @-variables into any field to pull in the object, its collection, parent, file name, date, or your own custom slots |
| ✓ Sync object names to their data-blocks — or rename linked mesh, curve, and light data to match |
| ✓ Search and select objects by name pattern before you touch anything |
| ✓ Full Regular Expression support for complex, pattern-based renames |
|
Choose Exactly
|
| ✓ Filter to exactly the types you need: meshes, materials, empties, cameras, lights, curves, armatures, and more |
| ✓ Toggle Only Selected to scope every operation to your current selection instead of the whole scene |
| ✓ Use Search and Select to pre-select objects by name pattern before renaming |
|
Numbering That
|
| ✓ Sort by Selection, Alphabetical, or Axis order, with a one-click reverse |
| ✓ Select in Renaming Order: click objects or bones one by one in the viewport to set the exact numbering sequence, then confirm with Enter |
|

@o object ·
@c collection ·
@p parent
@n number · @d date · @r random |
Dynamic Names, Built
|
✓ @o object name, @c collection name, @p parent name, @a active object — reference exactly what's changing, automatically |
✓ @n padded counter, @d date, @i time, @f file name, @r random string |
✓ @h, @l, @b, @u1–@u3 — your own custom slots for high-poly, low-poly, bake cage, or any convention you use |
| ✓ Combine variables with regular text in any field |
|
Add Prefixes and
|
| ✓ Dedicated Add Prefix and Add Suffix fields, applied independently |
| ✓ Combine with @-variables for dynamic tags — a collection name, a padded number, the current date |
| ✓ Works alongside Numerate and Search and Replace in the same pass |
|
Find Exactly What
|
| ✓ Full Regular Expression support for complex, pattern-based renames |
✓ Regex case modifiers on captured groups — \u$1, \l$1, \U$1, \L$1 — e.g. \u$1 to capitalize just the first letter |
| ✓ Match Case toggle for precise, case-sensitive matching |
|
The Small Things
|
| ✓ Trim End of String — cut a fixed number of characters, e.g. to drop a stale ".001" |
| ✓ Numerate — reorder existing numbering without a full rename |
| ✓ Data Name from Object — sync mesh, curve, and light data names to their objects |
| ✓ Six one-click case converters: UPPERCASE, lowercase, PascalCase, camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case |
|
Rename Anything,
|
| ✓ Toggle between Prefix and Suffix mode, and choose Only Selected Objects to scope the batch |
| ✓ Save and reuse Type Presets across different projects and naming conventions |
Everything Inside
One addon, the whole renaming workflow.
|
@-Variables
Insert dynamic values anywhere in a name pattern —
@o object name, @n padded counter, @f/@d/@i file and date info, plus user-defined @h/@l/@b/@u slots. |
Built for Big Scenes
O(1) lookups replace linear algorithms, so scenes with 500+ objects rename significantly faster.
|
Custom Hotkeys
Clear before/after feedback on every rename, with shortcuts you can remap to fit your own workflow.
|
|
Keeping the Overview
A popup panel lists exactly what's been renamed after every operation — object by object — so you can review the results at a glance instead of hunting through the outliner.
