Blender add-on that scrubs personal file paths from a .blend copy and lists what was removed.

What Clear Filepaths does

Clear Filepaths is a Blender add-on by FlailingFog that removes personal filepaths from a .blend file so you can share it without revealing folder names. It saves a cleaned copy in which filepath strings are replaced with a dummy string, plus a text file noting what was removed.

It looks for the strings stored in filepath, filepath_raw, original, library_weak_reference and packed_files, saves an uncompressed copy, and duplicates and remaps data in the copy to eliminate loose paths the Python API cannot reach. Good for privacy before posting or selling a scene.

Key features

  • Replaces file paths with a dummy string
