Add On The Fly earns its place in the Superhive library for turning active-object data access into direct, callable controls, and it carries a five-star rating across a handful of reviews.
Add On The Fly is a Blender addon that reaches the main data of the active object and lets you manage its properties directly. It covers cameras, lights, meshes, curves, empties, text and render settings, gathering those controls into a single addon.
For lights, it can toggle a light on or off while keeping it visible in the 3D viewport, currently with Cycles only, and set the main light parameters through a Modal Light control — with colour via the modal available when using Photographer. It also sets the main camera parameters, handles hair particle setup, manages Scatter5 settings for Scatter 5.2, covers render, and manages selections through the Add on the Fly pie menu.
Add On The Fly is listed for Blender version 5.0 and released under the GPL license, with documentation included and a demo video available. It earns its spot in the Superhive library for pulling active-object data into callable controls.
Add On The Fly is best for blender artists who want direct access to active-object data — camera, light, mesh and render settings — and to manage those properties from one addon.
Add On The Fly is completely free to download and use.
Add On The Fly is listed for Blender version 5.0, so it targets that release. The addon reaches the main data of the active object — cameras, lights, meshes, curves, empties, text and render settings — and lets you manage those properties directly. For other Blender builds, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility, since only version 5.0 is stated. Documentation is included to help with setup once you have the addon installed.
Add On The Fly can set a light on or off while keeping it visible in the 3D viewport, but that behaviour currently works with Cycles only. It can also set the main parameters of lights through its Modal Light control, though setting colour with the modal requires Photographer. If you work in a different render engine, the on/off toggle may not apply, so plan around the Cycles limitation. Camera and render-setting controls sit alongside the light tools in the same addon.
Add On The Fly can manage Scatter5 settings, but that integration supports Scatter 5.2 for now. Alongside scattering, it handles hair particle setup and reaches the main data of the active object, so you can manage properties for cameras, lights, meshes, curves, empties, text and render settings from one addon. If you rely on a different Scatter release, confirm on the developer's page before depending on the Scatter5 controls.
Add On The Fly is listed as free here and released under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon covers active-object data access, light and camera parameters, hair particle and Scatter5 management, and selection handling through its pie menu, with documentation included. A demo video is available on the developer's page if you want a look before installing.
