Blender Slides

Blender Slides is a slide-based presentation add-on for Blender's 3D View.

It lets you create, organize, and play presentations directly inside a 3D scene using cameras, timeline ranges, speaker notes, checkpoints, viewport controls, and scene objects.

Features

• Create and manage slide-based presentations inside the 3D View
• Use timeline ranges as slide sections
• Use cameras as slide viewpoints
• Select a slide from the list and jump directly to its start frame
• Add speaker notes and display them as a viewport overlay
• Add checkpoints to pause during a slide
• Navigate with presentation controls or keyboard shortcuts
• Use visual color tags to organize slides
• Toggle a clean presentation view while keeping notes visible
• Toggle Rendered/Solid viewport mode from the controller
• Open a dedicated projection window
