#project:plainscene

Your scene, as plain text.

Plainscene writes Blender's outliner and bone hierarchies out as an indented outline. Edit it in your own editor — rename, reparent, re-collection — save the file, and Blender follows.

#section:what-it-does

Move a subtree with one line Change a parent's collection and everything under it follows. Reparenting preserves world transforms.
Bones, in the same shape Armature hierarchies and bone collection membership use the same indented format as the outliner.
Nothing is written behind your back Blender never rewrites the file on its own. When the scene changes, the panel says so and waits for you.
An editor that understands the format The bundled VS Code extension adds highlighting, folding, inlay hints for inherited membership, and syntax checking.
