Launch Production Kit — General Blender Utilities

Combining multiple production shortcuts and toolsets for Blender 2.8-4.1, Production Kit refactors the code for Blender 4.2. Features haven't changed significantly, so for the time being please refer to the original documentation for details.

Includes:

• https://github.com/jeinselen/VF-BlenderColorPalette
  • Sidebar colour palette
• https://github.com/jeinselen/VF-BlenderSaveProjectVersion
  • Project version archiving
• https://github.com/jeinselen/VF-BlenderUpdateImages
  • Global image updating
• https://github.com/jeinselen/VF-BlenderSetViewportShading
  • Viewport shading shortcuts
• https://github.com/jeinselen/VF-BlenderDriverFunctions
  • Driver functions (many designed to replicate After Effects expressions like wiggle())

WARNING: This extension is in early beta and should be installed only for testing purposes.

Installation via Extensions Platform:

• Go to Blender Preferences > Get Extensions > Repositories > ＋ > Add Remote Repository
• Set the URL to https://jeinselen.github.io/Launch-Blender-Extensions/index.json
• Set the local directory if desired (relative paths seem to fail, try absolute instead)
• Enable Check for Updates on Start
• Filter the available extensions for "Launch" and install as needed

Installation via Download:

• Download the .zip file for a specific kit
• Drag-and-drop the file into Blender

This method will not connect to the centralised repository here on GitHub and updates will not be automatically available. If you don't need easy updates, don't want GitHub servers to be pinged when you start up Blender, or would just like to try some extensions without adding yet another repository to your Blender settings, this is the option for you.
