Troubleshooting

If the Rich Presence is not displaying, try the following:

• In Discord, go to your User Settings > Activity Privacy > Display current activity as a status message and make sure it's enabled.
• It could be a display bug. Refresh the Discord client by pressing Ctrl+R
• It could be a bug with the addon. Try re-enabling it or go to Window > Toggle System Console and ensure no errors from BlendPresence appear.

Customizable Features

Core

• Enabled determines if your rich presence will be shown on Discord.
• Update Every determines how fast BlendPresence will update your presence in [x] seconds. Lower is faster.
  • Faster update rates may affect performance on lower-end machines. A recommended value is 5 seconds.

Large Icon Tooltip

• Render Engine displays the render engine (Cycles, EEVEE, etc.) that's currently in use.
  • Some third-party render engines like Octane or Redshift will show their unique logo aside the blender logo while used.
• Blender Version displays Blender version that the addon is running in.
• Display GPU displays the name of the GPU Blender is using.
  • Currently, only NVIDIA cards are supported. Support for AMD, Intel and Apple cards may happen in the future.

Small Icon

• (Viewport) Icon Set: Icon sets dynamically change based on what you're doing inside of Blender.
  • Active Mode: Displays the icon of the current mode in use (i.e. Object, Edit, Pose)
  • Active Workspace: Displays the relevant icon of your active workspace. For this to work, your current workspace name needs to be exactly one of the following: Modeling, Sculpting, UV Editing, Texture Paint, Shading, Animation, Rendering, Compositing, Geometry Nodes, Scripting
• (Rendering) Render Stats displays render information such as frame resolution and FPS while rendering.

Buttons

• A maximum of two buttons can be displayed at the bottom of your presence and can be personalized with any label and URL of their choosing.
  • IMPORTANT! The link MUST start with a protocol (https://)!

Details

• Display Types: Literal is filler text that changes based on what you're doing, such as if you're rendering something, it will change to "Rendering a project". Alternatively you can set your own text by changing this setting to Custom
• Display File Name overrides the setting above with the current .blend file name.
  • This will only work on saved files. If nothing shows up, you need to save your .blend file first.

State

• (Viewport) Display Types: There are several object types that you can display in the presence, such as:
  • File Size: Displays the formatted file size of the current file.
  • Current Frame: Returns the frame number currently on the playhead.
  • Active Object: Returns the name of the active object.
  • Current Scecne: Returns the name of the current scene.
  • Active Object: Returns the name of the active object.
  • Object/Bone/Material/Polygon Count: Returns the number of specified objects in the current scene.
  • Custom: Allows the user to input their custom text.
• (Rendering) Frame Range will display the current frame number that you're rendering. If it's an animation, it will fetch the frame range that's being rendered

Time Elapsed

• Enabled will show the amount of time elapsed upon the addon being enabled. If you restart the addon, this timer resets.
• Reset on Render will reset the timer when a render starts.
