AgedFX earns its place in the Superhive library for gathering a broad range of aging and atmospheric effects, from procedural material wear to cobwebs, fog, moss and animated creatures, into a single Blender panel where each effect stays adjustable and reversible.
AgedFX brings procedural aging effects to Blender, working on single objects or entire scenes. It's a toolbox for material manipulation effects and atmospheric details, detecting all materials and dynamically applying fully procedural aging. The shading effects work with every material that uses a Principled BSDF, and Glass BSDFs can be automatically converted to comparable Principled BSDFs that keep their settings. Original nodes stay untouched, just reconnected if necessary, and every effect can be adjusted or reversed at any time. The Addon Panel shows how many materials are currently affected.
Effects include dust that appears on top with controllable viewing-angle inconsistency, edge dirt (fully supported on Cycles), scratches and bumps, and a metallic section for adding metallic imperfections that can be rusted. Every parameter can be animated, and each object can be made unique.
Beyond shading, AgedFX creates dynamic cobwebs drawn as lines that automatically connect to objects, plus orb webs and raindrops added in version 1.6. It also includes dynamic fog, animated ground fog that adjusts to the domain size, a customizable moss generator, animated dust particles, moths that follow an object, ants and spiders that walk on uneven surfaces, and customizable light rays. Marked Blender 5 ready.
Agedfx 1.6 - Age Complete Scenes is best for adding realistic aging and atmospheric detail to objects or complete scenes in Blender, including dust, dirt, scratches, cobwebs, moss, fog and animated details.
Agedfx 1.6 - Age Complete Scenes is completely free to download and use.
AgedFX works within Blender's material system, and its shading effects apply to every material that uses a Principled BSDF. The edge dirt effect, however, is only fully supported on Cycles for now due to current limitations on Eevee. Glass BSDFs can be automatically converted to comparable Principled BSDFs that keep their settings and connections if you want. The add-on is also marked Blender 5 ready. Check the developer's page for full details on renderer support across each feature.
AgedFX leaves your original nodes untouched and only reconnects them if necessary when applying its procedural aging effects. Every effect can be adjusted or reversed at any time, so you keep full control over the aging process, and the Addon Panel always shows how many materials are currently affected. Glass BSDFs can also be automatically converted to comparable Principled BSDFs that maintain their settings and connections. This lets you experiment without permanently altering your shading setup.
AgedFX lets you animate every parameter and make each object unique, with all settings controllable directly in the material. Beyond static wear, it includes animated ground fog that adjusts to the domain size, animated dust particles, moths that can automatically follow an object, and animated ants and spiders that walk on uneven surfaces. Version 1.6 also adds raindrops alongside its cobweb tools. This makes it possible to build motion into aging and atmospheric details rather than only still effects.
AgedFX is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check VICUBE Animation's page on Superhive for the current details before you download. The add-on is marked Blender 5 ready and ships with documentation, so you can review what's included before adding it to your projects. It covers a broad set of tools, from procedural material aging to cobwebs, fog, moss and light rays.

AutoTrack is a Blender add-on that automates 2D feature tracking and camera solving. It tracks markers forwards and backwards, analyzes track density at the substep level, and runs a dual-pass solver to find the best reconstruction error.

Find Bad Tracks is a Blender add-on that highlights motion tracks moving differently from the rest. If most tracks pan one way and one drifts the other, it flags that track for a human to review.
