Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library because it covers both instant 2D and 3D generation and a Geometry Nodes-based mode, so networks can be built quickly or kept fully editable.

What is Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator generates fully connected neural network structures inside Blender that can be visualized and customized with a click. It provides three creation methods: a 2D Neural Network quick mode for flat structures, a 3D Neural Network quick mode for volumetric ones, and a Geo Neural Network advanced mode built on Geometry Nodes.

In the quick modes, 2D networks support up to 30 layers with up to 10 neurons per layer, while 3D networks support up to 20 layers with up to 100 neurons per layer. Neurons can be spherical, cubic, or disc-shaped, and are created as instances, so editing one updates all. Synapses are separate objects for individual styling, layer spacing is adjustable through the Layer Distance Factor, and each network sits in its own collection.

The Geo Neural Network mode uses Geometry Nodes for a non-destructive workflow with editable parameters and no fixed limit on layers or neurons beyond your computer's performance. It supports any mesh object as a neuron shape, per-layer materials, and layer offset on the X and Y axes.

Who is Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator best for?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator is best for aI enthusiasts, data scientists, and 3D artists incorporating neural network aesthetics into their work.

How much does Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator cost?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator support?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator lists full support for Blender 5.0, 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2. The 2.0.5 update added Blender 5.0 compatibility alongside the existing versions, and the addon continues to be actively maintained and updated. If you run one of these releases, you can install the addon and access its modes from the Add menu in the 3D Viewport. For versions outside this range, check the developer's page before installing.

How do I install Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator in Blender?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator installs from its .zip file without unzipping it. Open Blender, go to Edit then Preferences, open the Add-ons section, click Install, and select the downloaded .zip. Tick the checkbox next to 'Neural Network Creator' to activate it. Once enabled, open the 3D Viewport and choose Add then Mesh, where you can select the 2D Neural Network, 3D Neural Network, or Geo Neural Network option to start building.

What's the difference between the quick modes and the Geo Neural Network?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator offers two quick modes and an advanced Geo mode. The 2D and 3D quick modes generate networks instantly within set layer and neuron limits, with parameters in the operator panel. The Geo Neural Network mode is built on Blender's Geometry Nodes for a non-destructive workflow with editable parameters and no fixed limits beyond your computer's performance. Geo mode also allows layer offset on the X and Y axes, any mesh object as a neuron, and per-layer materials.

How many layers and neurons can Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator create?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator sets different limits per mode. In quick mode, 2D networks support up to 30 layers with up to 10 neurons per layer, and 3D networks support up to 20 layers with up to 100 neurons per layer. The Geo Neural Network mode places no fixed limit on layers or neurons, so the only boundary is your computer's performance. You adjust quick-mode counts in the operator panel and Geo networks in the Geometry Nodes editor.

Is Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator free?

Add Mesh: Neural Network Creator is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. Once you have the .zip, you install it through Blender's Add-ons preferences and activate the 'Neural Network Creator' entry, after which the 2D, 3D, and Geo network options appear under the Add then Mesh menu in the 3D Viewport.
