Batch rename objects by rule
In your harnessBlender toolMIT
Rename many objects at once by rule: strip .001 suffixes, find and replace with optional regular expressions, apply a case style, add a prefix and suffix, and number only the names that would collide. Use it to prepare scenes for export and naming conventions.
What it takes and gives
- Operator
- baltor.util_batch_rename
- Parameters
- prefix, suffix, find, replace, use_regex, case, strip_duplicate_suffix, numbering and 5 more
- Result

Limits. Renames objects and, when they have a single user, their data; materials, collections and other data blocks keep their names. Case splitting is a heuristic for ASCII words and digit runs. Names are cut to 63 bytes, so very long names lose their end. Regular expressions use Python syntax. Verified in Blender 5.2.1; written for the 4.2 API.
