Blender Collab Pro

Blender Collab Pro brings real-time multi-user collaboration directly

into Blender. Multiple artists can work on the same scene

simultaneously — every change is instantly synchronized across all

connected users.

Real-Time Synchronization

All scene changes are transmitted and applied instantly at 20 updates

per second. Supports full and delta synchronization with batching and

compression for optimal network performance. Every Blender object type

is supported — meshes, curves, materials, node trees, armatures,

cameras, lights, collections, and more.

Multi-User Sessions

Host a server or join an existing session in seconds. Up to 20 users

can collaborate in the same scene simultaneously. Room-based

architecture allows multiple independent sessions on a single server.

Rooms support password protection for private collaboration.

User Roles & Permissions

Four permission levels to manage your team:

- Owner — full control, room management, can kick users

- Admin — can edit and manage other users

- Editor — can edit objects in the scene

- Viewer — read-only access for review and observation

Object Locking

Prevent editing conflicts before they happen. Lock any object while

you are working on it — other users can see the lock status and who

holds it. Locked objects are protected from concurrent edits, ensuring

clean collaborative workflows.

User Presence

See exactly what your teammates are doing in real-time:

- 3D Cursors — each user's cursor position visible in the viewport

- Selections — see which objects each user has selected

- Viewport Cameras — visualize where other users are looking in the

scene

- Follow Mode — snap your viewport to follow another user's camera

Each user is assigned a unique color for easy identification across

all presence indicators.

Conflict Resolution

When two users edit the same object simultaneously, the system detects

the conflict and offers multiple resolution strategies:

- Last Write Wins

- Local Wins

- Server Wins

- Auto Merge

- Reject

Full conflict history with detailed information about what changed and

who made the change.

History & Undo

Complete action history with per-user and shared undo/redo stacks.

Every action is timestamped and attributed to its author. Browse,

search, and export the full editing history of your session.

Built-In Chat

Communicate with your team without leaving Blender. Send text

messages, react to messages, and edit sent messages. System

notifications for user joins and leaves keep everyone informed.

Searchable chat history with filtering.

Network Architecture

Server-client architecture with binary protocol and automatic

compression. Heartbeat monitoring ensures connection stability.

Auto-reconnect support for dropped connections. Configurable host,

port, and timeout settings.
