Why we like it

BArray stands out in the Superhive library for reframing arrays as something you paint onto a surface rather than configure through modifiers.

What is Barray - Procedural Arrays?

BArray - Procedural Arrays is an array tool for Blender that shifts the workflow toward painting. Rather than configuring array modifiers, you draw arrays directly onto any surface, placing repeated elements as you go.

The add-on is aimed at pattern work such as sci-fi greebles, architectural details, and organic patterns, and it takes a procedural approach to building those arrays. Documentation is provided to help you get started with the workflow, and a demo video is available.

BArray runs in Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5 and works with both Cycles and Eevee. It is distributed under the GPL license. On Superhive it currently holds a single five-star rating and has sold more than twenty copies, sitting at popularity rank 2603 in the library.

Who is Barray - Procedural Arrays best for?

Barray - Procedural Arrays is best for blender artists building greebles, architectural details, and organic patterns with array-based mesh work.

How much does Barray - Procedural Arrays cost?

Barray - Procedural Arrays is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does BArray support?

BArray - Procedural Arrays supports Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5. If you are running a release inside that range, the add-on is intended to work with your setup. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond the stated range is not confirmed. The listing also notes it works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines, so either renderer fits within a supported Blender build.

Does BArray work with both Cycles and Eevee?

BArray - Procedural Arrays lists both Cycles and Eevee as supported render engines, so you can use it with either of Blender's main renderers. This gives flexibility whether your project is set up for Cycles or for Eevee. The add-on itself handles the array creation by letting you paint arrays onto surfaces, and the choice of render engine sits alongside that workflow rather than restricting it.

Is BArray free, and what license does it use?

BArray - Procedural Arrays is listed as free here, so you can add it to your Blender toolset from this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details on cost and usage rights, visit the developer's page directly. The GPL designation is the license noted for the add-on at the time of this listing.

How does BArray create arrays in Blender?

BArray - Procedural Arrays lets you paint complex arrays directly onto any surface in Blender rather than setting up array modifiers manually. It takes a procedural approach and targets patterns such as sci-fi greebles, architectural details, and organic patterns. Documentation is provided to help you learn the workflow, and a demo video is available if you want to see the add-on before installing it.
