Arraytool covers three distinct array methods in one addon and reaches beyond meshes to include lights, texts, and curves via collections. It holds a 5-star rating from two reviews on superhive.
Arraytool is a Blender addon for duplicating objects across straight lines, circles, or along a curve. It works on a single editable mesh or on multiple objects grouped inside a collection, and it can also array lights, texts, and curves when they are placed in a collection and targeted as one.
For a single object, the straight method exposes count, distance, rotation, and scale from the Array-Simple panel. The circular method lets you set the 3D cursor or the object itself as the center, pick an align axis, and adjust count, radius, rotation, and scale from the Array-Circular panel. The curve method arrays objects along a chosen path, either bending them along the curve or keeping them undeformed through an object carrier, with fit type, distance, rotation, and scale controlled from the Array-Curve panel.
Collection arrays add a random seed for variation between instances and an option to pick instances or reset children. Because lights, texts, and curves cannot be realized as instances, the ARR.GN modifier will not apply to them, though projects still render with the modifier kept in place.
Arraytool is best for blender artists building repeated geometry, such as rows, rings, or objects distributed along a curve, from single meshes or grouped collections.
Arraytool is completely free to download and use.
Arraytool requires Blender 3.5 or a newer version, so it runs on 3.5 and later releases. If your Blender install predates 3.5, you would need to update before the addon works. The listing does not name an upper version limit or specific later builds, so for the newest confirmed compatibility it is best to check the developer's page on superhive. Confirming your Blender version before installing helps avoid the addon failing to register on an unsupported release.
Arraytool can array lights, texts, and curves, but not as a single object. Instead, drag the target objects into a new collection, switch the Target Type to Collection, and choose that collection as the target. From there the straight, circular, and curve methods apply, with count, distance, rotation, scale, and a random seed available for variation. This collection-based approach is required for any object type that is not an editable mesh.
Arraytool uses an ARR.GN modifier when arraying a collection. When you click the apply check mark button, that modifier will not apply to objects that are not editable meshes, such as lights, texts, and curves, because they cannot be realized as instances. You can still render the project while keeping the ARR.GN modifier in place. For that reason, check whether your collection contains non-mesh objects before applying.
Arraytool is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current pricing and license details it is best to check the developer's page on superhive. The listing carries a 5-star rating from two reviews, which reflects early feedback rather than a large sample. A demo video is also available if you want to see the addon before installing.
