blender-preview.yazi

A Yazi plugin to preview Blender's .blend and .blend1 files.

Tip

Blender's thumbnails are limited to 128x128 pixels. zoom.yazi can help increase the size, but won't change the resolution.

Requirements

blender-thumbnailer needs to be available on the path (usually done automatically when Blender is installed).

Installation

ya pkg add walldmtd/blender-preview

Usage

Add this to yazi.toml:

[plugin]
prepend_preloaders = [
    { name = "*.blend", run = "blender-preview" },
    { name = "*.blend1", run = "blender-preview" },
]
prepend_previewers = [
    { name = "*.blend", run = "blender-preview" },
    { name = "*.blend1", run = "blender-preview" },
]
