Version 1.1 · Blender 4.0+ Author: Eduardito_3D
1. Installation
- Open Blender → Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install.
- Select the file Dynamic_List_Manager_v1.1.zip.
- Enable the checkbox for the addon Dynamic Rig & Render Controls.
- The panel appears automatically in the 3D Viewport N-panel under the Dynamic List tab.
2. General concept
The addon manages the visibility of mesh objects by organizing them into Groups. Each group represents a visual state of the character (for example: mouth open, mouth closed, expression A, expression B).
- Changing the Group Index activates the corresponding group: objects in that group become visible, while all others are hidden.
- Viewport visibility is controlled directly via
hide_viewport.
- Render visibility is optionally controlled with drivers on
hide_render, with no need for manual keyframes.
- The Group Index is an animatable integer: keyframing it on the timeline is enough to animate the entire system.
3. Opening the panel
In the 3D Viewport press N to open the side panel. Select the Dynamic List tab. The panel is called Dynamic List Manager.
If the panel does not appear, make sure you have an Armature selected, or a mesh object linked to one.
