BlenderAe2 by Salt Media transfers 3D data and objects between Blender and After Effects in both directions, covering vertices, 3D layer transforms, camera data and layer synchronization.

Machin3Tools is a continuously evolving collection of tools and pie menus for Blender, gathered in a single customizable package. It ships in two base variants, Prime and DeusEx, with the DeusEx variant adding more advanced tools.

3D Print Toolbox is a Blender add-on with utilities for 3D printing. It analyzes mesh volume and surface area, checks and fixes geometry, hollows shapes, aligns models to the print bed, and exports to STL, PLY, and OBJ.

UVPackmaster 4 is a UV packing engine for Blender that packs UV maps on the CPU and GPU, using the Cuda and Vulkan APIs, and can run on the CPU and all system GPUs at once.

MMD Tools is a Blender add-on for editing MikuMikuDance (MMD) models. It handles importing and exporting model, motion and pose data, along with chopping and joining parts, plus rigid body, material and motion editing.

SimpleBake brings PBR and traditional texture baking to Blender from a single panel. Select objects, choose maps, and bake — no special node groups or new workflow, working with whatever materials you've already built.

Physical Starlight and Atmosphere - Sky is a Blender addon for real-time, physics-based sky and atmosphere rendering. It works in Eevee and Cycles, using photometric measurements and analytic air mass volume calculations for scientifically accurate atmospheric scattering.

VRM format is a Blender add-on by saturday06 that adds VRM import, export, and editing to Blender, including VRM Humanoid setup and MToon shader configuration, plus a Python API for automation.

Copy Attributes Menu adds attribute-copying operators to Blender, accessible in the 3D viewport via Ctrl-C. Originally a bundled add-on in Blender 4.1, it now covers Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.

MeasureIt is a Blender add-on by antoniov that provides tools for measuring objects. It lives in the 3D View sidebar under the View tab and works with Blender 5.0 and newer.

Ucupaint is a Blender add-on for managing texture layers in the Eevee and Cycles renderers. It stacks images, vertex attributes and generated textures into layers and masks, all inside a single node group.

Better Fbx Importer & Exporter adds FBX handling to Blender using the official FBX SDK. It imports FBX, DAE, OBJ, DXF and 3DS files, exports FBX, DAE, OBJ and DXF files, and is compatible with all FBX versions.

Import Autodesk MAX (.max) is a Blender add-on for bringing meshes, materials and texture coordinates from Autodesk 3DSMax (.max) files into Blender. It sits under File → Import and covers a broad list of material types.

Project Manager is an asset library tool for 3ds Max that classifies 3D models automatically by type, material, form, and style using a local AI engine, with search by colour, visual similarity, and name.

Zen UV is a professional toolset for creating UVs in Blender, covering unwrapping, transforming, stacking, texel density and trimsheet work through a single add-on with its own gizmo and display tools.

Extreme PBR Nexus is a Blender addon for managing a library of over 1800 materials, compatible with Cycles and Eevee. It includes texture painting between materials, animated water, and displacement built on native Blender modifiers.

Import AutoCAD DXF Format (.dxf) brings DXF file import to Blender. This community add-on reads files in the AutoCAD DXF format through File → Import → AutoCAD DXF, and was previously bundled with Blender 4.1.

Modifier Tools is a Blender add-on that adds show, hide, and apply operations for selected modifiers, accessible from Properties → Modifiers. It was part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons and is now offered as-is.

Node Arrange is a Blender add-on that automatically lays out node trees with one click. Regardless of node tree complexity, nodes are arranged, organised, and aligned, with adjustable settings.

Voxel Heat Diffuse Skinning is a Blender add-on from Mesh Online that generates vertex weights for characters, including non-seamless meshes, by combining voxel heat diffuse skinning with Blender's built-in heat map diffuse skinning.

Animation Layers is a Blender addon that brings a standard animation layers UI and workflow into the 3D viewport, simplifying work with the NLA Editor for editing animation or mocap data.

Magic UV is a UV toolset add-on for Blender, developed by nutti. Originally part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons, it is now offered as an extension with limited support and configured through the Add-ons Preferences.

Screencast Keys is a Blender add-on that displays keyboard and mouse status along with the last executed operator, using customizable on-screen UIs. It's aimed at making tutorials for Blender.

3D Viewport Pie Menus is a Blender add-on that provides a range of gesture-based pie menus to speed up various workflows. Some of the menus also add new operators for copying, keyframing and camera controls.
