FXBP Blender Addon – Asset Integration Made Simple

The FX BackPack Addon is the official tool for managing and importing FXBP assets inside Blender. Built to streamline your workflow, it gives you a quick and reliable way to preview, import, and manage your FXBP content—all directly from the 3D Viewport.

This addon evolves alongside the FXBP ecosystem. New features, smarter logic, and expanded compatibility are added over time.

Version 1.0.7 Highlights

Full support for Blender 4.0+

Uses the new FXBP_VOLUME master shader

Updated asset detection logic

Now available as a standalone tool for flexible integration

If you own older FXBP assets, we recommend re-downloading them to get the latest shader updates and folder structure.

Core Features

▪ Asset Auto-Detection

Point the addon to your FXBP root folder, and it will automatically scan and list all available assets—organized and ready to use.

▪ One-Click Import

Import VDBs, attach shaders, or bring in 2K MOVs mapped to geo planes—all from the same interface.

▪ Material System Update

Starting from version 1.0.7, the addon exclusively uses the FXBP_VOLUME shader. Legacy shaders are no longer supported.

▪ Folder Structure Awareness

The addon expects a specific folder layout. If you're unsure, grab the free Discovery Pack, which includes test assets and the correct structure.

Installation

Open Blender and go to: Edit > Preferences > Add-ons

Click Install from Disk, select the .zip file

Enable the addon

Restart Blender if upgrading from a previous version

After installation, go to the FXBP tab in the 3D Viewport toolbar (N key). Set your Root Folder Path, then click Refresh to load your library.

Roadmap

This addon is updated continuously in sync with the FX BackPack asset line. In future releases, the FXBP shader library will also be made available as a separate tool, offering more flexibility for custom workflows and lookdev setups.
