Bendy Bone Gizmo stands out in the Superhive library for narrowing bendy bone manipulation down to a single gizmo control, covering curve, scale, and roll in one place.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is a Blender addon aimed at riggers and animators who work with bendy bones. Instead of editing each B-Bone attribute by hand, it provides an intuitive gizmo control for adjusting curve, scale, and roll, letting you shape bones directly rather than changing settings parameter by parameter.
The addon is described as ideal for toon-style rigs, enabling precise deformation and smooth interpolation for expressive, cartoony motion. Smooth curves can be set up with a few clicks, and the curve, scale, and roll settings are all adjustable through the gizmo. The controls also work in edit mode.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is distributed under the GPL license and is a Dev Fund contributor. It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0, and the most recent update brings it to version 0.1.4. A demo video is available, and documentation is included for getting started.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is best for riggers and animators working with bendy bones in Blender, particularly on toon-style rigs.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is completely free to download and use.
Bendy Bone Gizmo supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0, so it covers a wide span of releases. The current build is version 0.1.4, released in 2025. If you are running a version within that range you should be able to use the addon; for anything outside it or for the latest details on compatibility, check the developer's page before installing.
Bendy Bone Gizmo works in edit mode as well as during normal rig manipulation. The addon provides gizmo controls for adjusting B-Bone curve, scale, and roll attributes, and these controls are available in edit mode. This lets you shape bendy bones directly through the gizmo rather than editing each parameter by hand. Consult the included documentation for how to find the button and get started.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is distributed under the GPL license, and the developer is a Dev Fund contributor. In this catalog the addon is listed as free. Because licensing and pricing can change, check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The addon also ships with documentation to help you get started once it is installed.
Bendy Bone Gizmo is described as ideal for toon-style rigs. It enables precise deformation and smooth interpolation for expressive, cartoony motion, and lets you set up smooth curves with a few clicks. The gizmo handles the curve, scale, and roll attributes of B-Bones, so animators working on stylized, dynamic characters can adjust bendy bones without stepping through each parameter individually.
