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.

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.
