01 / ABOUT
BUILT AROUND THE USER
Blender can be powerful without feeling overwhelming.
OptiBlend started as a scene optimiser, but testing showed me that performance was only one part of the problem. New users also struggle with finding tools, understanding where settings are and knowing what Blender expects them to do next.
The project developed into a guided workflow with Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced modes. It helps with shapes, materials, modifiers, scene organisation, rendering and learning the normal Blender shortcuts behind the workflow.
Fast access
A draggable asset shelf and Q Helper keep common tools close without permanently covering the viewport.
Still Blender
OptiBlend assists Blender rather than replacing it, so the shortcuts and workflow you learn still transfer normally.
02 / LIVE WORKFLOW
SEE IT IN BLENDER
Made to sit inside
your workflow.
OptiBlend stays inside Blender instead of replacing it. The shelf, helper and beginner tools are designed to appear when you need them and get out of the way when you do not.
