EEVEE Presets Addon

July 6, 2019July 27, 2020 New Media Supply 0 Comments Render setup

EEVEE Presets is a small but very handy addon. What it does is saving presets of all the render settings in the render tab for EEVEE. This can save you tons of time and allows you to experiment with different render settings in EEVEE.

How the EEVEE Presets addon works.

After downloading the addon you can find the addon in the properties panel > Render TAB. When you scroll down, you will find EEVEE Presets. To save the current settings you click the + button and then you can give the preset a name. Change some settings in the render settings and make a new preset the same way. Now you can change the rendersettings with one click in the EEVEE Presets addon. The EEVEE Presets addon works nice with the EV Express addon. The EV Express addon has two presets which are recommendation I found on the internet. https://blender-addons.org/ev-express/
