Cleanup Inspector is a lightweight Blender add-on built with Python to help review and remove unused scene data during asset iteration.
During production it’s common for unused materials and textures to accumulate in the scene as assets evolve. This tool provides a simple and focused workflow to quickly identify and clean up unused data directly from the viewport sidebar.
The add-on scans the scene and presents the results in a compact panel where users can review and selectively remove unused materials and images.
CORE FEATURES
- Scan the scene to detect unused materials and textures
- Review results in a compact and organized UI panel
- Select and safely delete unused items with confirmation and undo support
The goal of the tool is not to replace Blender’s built-in functionality, but to provide a more direct and streamlined workflow for reviewing unused scene data during everyday production tasks.
Built using the Blender Python API as part of exploring small workflow improvements and technical tools for 3D production.
