# SheepIt Project Submitter
A Blender addon for packing projects for the SheepIt render farm with automatic asset packing and intelligent workflow management.
## Features
| Automatic Asset Packing | Frame Range Control | Multiple Packing Methods |
|--|--|--|
| Automatically packs all linked blend files, textures, images, and external assets into your project. Supports both ZIP and packed blend file workflows. | Configure custom frame ranges directly in Blender without saving your file. Frame ranges are automatically applied to packed files. | Pack as current blend file, packed ZIP archive, or packed blend file. Choose the method that best fits your project. |
| Cache Management | Size Validation | Progress Tracking |
|--|--|--|
| Automatically truncates cache files to match your selected frame range, reducing file sizes significantly. | Validates file sizes before packing (2GB limit) with helpful suggestions for optimization. | Real-time progress bars and status messages for all operations. All steps are cancellable. |
| Path Remapping | Missing File Detection | Error Reporting |
|--|--|--|
| Intelligently remaps all asset paths to work correctly on the render farm. Handles textures, images, videos, and linked blend files. | Detects and reports missing linked files and oversized files (>2GB) that cannot be packed. | Comprehensive error messages with actionable suggestions for resolving issues. |
### Additional Features:
- Works with unsaved blend files (operates on in-memory state)
- Automatic backup file cleanup (`.blend1` through `.blend32`)
- Compressed blend file saves for optimal file sizes
- File browser for selecting output location
