Why we like it

Earns its place for handling the tedious part of turning Geometry Nodes into distributable add-ons: mapping exposed parameters into an N-Panel and packaging everything as an installable ZIP, all without coding.

What is Addon Generator - Convert Geometry Nodes Into Add-Ons?

Addon Generator turns a Geometry Nodes group in Blender into an installable add-on, exported as a ZIP file with a live, fully functional N-Panel interface and no coding required. The tool reads the exposed parameters from your chosen node group and builds a matching UI automatically.

The workflow runs in a few steps. You pick a node group from a dropdown, fill in the add-on name and author, then use APPEND (Preview) to temporarily add the node group as a modifier on the active object and see how its parameters will appear. When the panel looks right, Export as ZIP packages the node group and the generated Python add-on together. Installation follows Blender's standard route through Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install.

It is aimed at marketplace sellers converting node groups into ready-to-sell add-ons, teams sharing setups with a consistent interface, and anyone keeping Geometry Nodes setups as installable add-ons for reuse. Only parameters that actually exist are shown, and empty or missing parameters are handled gracefully.

Frequently asked questions

Does Addon Generator require any coding to create an add-on?

Addon Generator builds the add-on without any coding. It reads the exposed parameters from your chosen Geometry Nodes group and maps them directly into a matching N-Panel interface, so you never write Python by hand. You select a node group from a dropdown, fill in the add-on name and author, and the tool handles the interface generation for you. When you export, it packages your node group together with the generated Python add-on inside the ZIP file.

How do I install an add-on made with Addon Generator in Blender?

Addon Generator exports your work as a ZIP file that installs through Blender's standard add-on route. After clicking Export as ZIP and naming the file, go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install, select the exported .zip, and enable the add-on in the list. The ZIP contains both your Geometry Nodes group and the generated Python add-on, so once it is enabled the node group and its N-Panel interface are ready to use.

Can I preview the interface before exporting with Addon Generator?

Addon Generator includes a live preview so you can check the interface before exporting. Clicking APPEND (Preview) temporarily adds the selected node group as a modifier on the active object, letting you see exactly how the exposed parameters will appear in the final add-on's N-Panel UI. This lets you confirm the panel looks right first. Only parameters that actually exist are shown, and empty or missing parameters are handled gracefully rather than causing errors.

Is Addon Generator free to use?

Addon Generator is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page from Blender Procedural for the current details before you rely on it. The tool works inside Blender to convert a Geometry Nodes group into an installable add-on, exported as a ZIP with a live N-Panel interface for the node group's exposed parameters, and it does this without requiring any coding.
