SimpleVisibility 1.3.0

A small blender addon to keep render-visibility in sync with viewport-visibility. Intended for simpler usecases/workflows where render and viewport visibility shall always be treated the same.

Usage

Visibility sync can be triggered manually via the outliner context menu. Or it can update the sync status automatically directly before render via the autoupdate setting. The setting is permanent across working sessions and can easily be toggled via the outliner context menu. So just activate / deactivate it as needed.

  • Multiple Windows are fully support for manual sync and auto sync modes
  • Multiple Main-Windows are already fully supported for manual sync
    • With AutoUpdate mode the viewlayer detection might sync to the active viewlayer of another than the current window, but just in case of multiple main windows with multiple viewlayers and different active viewlayers set on each window. In this case you might want to switch to manual sync mode temporarily. Should be ruled out soon.

This is super useful, thanks, but, is there any chance, that you can upgrade this to blender 2.93.3? works in Blender 2.92.0 but not in the latest version of Blender, when trying to use the function, it crashes instantly.

Hi everyone,

wanted to make the addons autosync handling all possible cases for quite some time now. So finally I took the time to do so. :grinning: As always, in case of problems please let me know. I hope you like it and if you do please make a small donation via ko-fi (link in first post). I changed the projects structure to make it all a bit more convenient.

So from now on if you download it go to the release section on github and download the zip file there.

Many thanks for the quick fix, Debuk, everything works fine now, a magnificent and excellent job with this addon, it must be said. I wish the Blender team would see your tool as a proposal to make it official, as this is indispensable.

Greetings.
