Auto Importer & Organizer is a professional Blender addon designed to automatically import, organize, and arrange large numbers of assets into clean and structured layouts.

This tool goes far beyond a simple importer: it is a complete asset organization and layout management system for Blender, focused on speed, consistency, and production workflows.

This tool is perfect for:

• Organizing large asset libraries
• Previewing many 3D models in a single scene
• Preparing assets for rendering, inspection, or export
• Cleaning and restructuring messy scenes
• Creating layout grids for asset packs and marketplaces
• Batch importing folders full of models
• Separating assets by material automatically
• Standardizing asset scale and layout for presentation

Main Features

• Batch import of entire folders with optional recursive subfolder scanning
• Support for multiple formats: OBJ, FBX, GLTF/GLB, STL
• Automatic grid layout immediately after import
• Grid Auto tool to reorganize already existing scene objects
• Grid by Material system: automatically group objects by material and arrange them into separated grid layouts
• Automatic creation of organized collections (MATERIAL-A, MATERIAL-B, etc.) when using material grouping
• Configurable grid orientation (Horizontal or Vertical layout)
• Customizable number of columns and spacing between assets
• Flexible placement modes: by Object Origin or by Mesh Bottom (Z=0) without modifying object origins
• Automatic material unification to prevent duplicated materials during batch imports
• Optional height normalization tool for standardizing object size
• Optional Apply Transforms tool to commit scale changes

How It Works

You select a folder and click Import Assets. The addon automatically scans the directory, imports all supported files, and places them into a clean and organized grid layout based on your settings.

If you already have objects in the scene, you can use Grid Auto to reorganize the selected objects using the same grid logic without re-importing anything.

If you want to organize assets by material, simply select the objects and use Grid Auto (Material). The addon will:

• Group objects based on their assigned materials
• Create one collection per material group
• Lay out each group in its own internal grid
• Separate each group by a configurable distance

All layout operations respect your grid orientation, spacing, column count, and placement mode.

Optional Tools

• Normalize Height (Z): Scales selected objects so they all reach the same target height. This is ideal for preview scenes, asset comparison, and consistent pack presentation. Best used with objects of similar proportions.
• Apply Transforms (Scale): Applies current scale values, making the visual size become the real object scale. Useful before exporting assets or finalizing asset libraries.

These tools are optional and designed to help standardize asset sets when needed.

Important Notes

• This addon does NOT modify mesh geometry or object origins automatically.
• Grid and placement operations only move objects in the scene.
• Normalize Height modifies object scale and should be used carefully with mixed asset types.
• Material grouping does not merge meshes, only organizes layout and collections.

Requirements

• Blender 4.0 or newer

Perfect For

• Game developers
• Asset pack creators
• 3D artists managing large libraries
• Environment and prop artists
• Marketplace sellers preparing preview scenes
• Anyone who needs to organize, inspect, or prepare many assets quickly

This addon does not generate assets. It is a production and organization tool designed to automate importing, layout creation, and scene organization for your existing 3D models.
