Per-Camera Resolution
Every camera should have its resolution
Maintained by pioverfour
What It Helps You Do
- Set individual resolutions for each camera directly in the Camera panel under Object Data properties.
- Create new cameras by defining a render border in the 3D viewport and using the Bake Render Border feature.
How To Install It In Blender
- Install the add-on from Blender Extensions within Blender.
- Alternatively, download the ZIP from the Blender Extensions page and use Blender’s Install from Disk feature.
How To Use It In Blender
- Access camera resolution settings in the Camera panel under Object Data properties.
- Use Ctrl + B to set a render border and create a new camera with the Bake Render Border feature.
Using It On A Render Farm
Simple guidance for rendering node setup, and safer submissions.
Conservative default: assume workers also need this add-on installed unless you have verified that its output is fully baked or converted into native Blender data.
Warnings
- Local path or asset-library signals were detected. Paths that work on the artist machine can still fail on remote workers.
- Bake or cache signals were detected. Generated outputs may need to be prepared before upload.
Safest Workflow
- Bake caches or precompute outputs before sending a long render job if the add-on relies on generated intermediate data.
- Check if the add-on uses its own render operators locally and do not assume this will work seamlessly on a render farm.
- Open the scene in Blender, complete any interactive setup steps, save the file, and test a small background render before scaling up.
Packing Checklist
- Assume every worker needs the same add-on version installed unless you have verified that the scene renders correctly after baking or exporting the result to native Blender data.
- Upload any external textures, presets, asset libraries, exports, or helper files referenced by the add-on workflow.
- Include baked caches or generated outputs if the add-on workflow writes them outside the main .blend file.
- Run a small local background render or one short farm test before full submission.
Common Issues
- The scene may render incorrectly on a farm if local assets or helper files are not uploaded.
- Differences in farm renders can occur if caches or baked outputs are not uploaded.
More Context
You can find the camera resolution settings in the Object Data properties, under the Camera panel.
Animating the resolution is not supported by default in Blender, and regular animation rendering will only use the resolution at render start. This add-on provides a new Render Animated Resolution operator which works around this limitation. Note however that starting a render this way will lock the interface until the render is complete, or until Blender is killed.
This add-on uses a workaround to animate the camera resolution, which can sometimes cause stability issues. If you encounter such issues, try disabling the add-on.
The add-on is currently available in English, French, and simplified Chinese. If you’d like to help translate it to your language, please open an issue.
