It binds lots of useful actions to one key such as connect, bridge and weld verts. The main reason I got it was for 'super smart create' which is a script I was used to using in Max. This tool has a bunch of useful shortcuts and features. Perfect for increasing the amount of divisions on cylinders and ensuring it stays smooth. This was something I missed from 3DS Max and allows you to connect while taking into account the smoothing of an object. It's so extensive it has it's own documentation and YouTube channel where Masterxeon1001 details the workflow.Įdge flow was a small plugin I found that allows you to do a 'flow connect' operation.

However, as time goes on I require less add ons to solve these problems and my list of commonly used plugins gets shorter. I think it's worth doing that so you are comfortable with the Blenders toolset first.Currently I find that a lot of add ons I pick up to solve gaps in where Blender is missing certain features, a lot of this comes from experience and personal preferences in modelling. This information is valid at the time of posting and work with the latest version of Blender.Īlso worth noting that I actually didn't touch add ons until I was comfortable with the base tools. Worth checking on different stores as the prices vary and often there are sales on certain add ons. I have dropped a quick description for each one below and a link.

They are commonly accessed through menus, pie selections and shortcuts. Similar to scripts or plugins in other software, in Blender an add on is a zip file that contains new tools. Add ons are where the real power of Blender comes in.
