Frequently asked questions

Does Blender Buddy work with Blender 5.1?

Blender Buddy is listed for Blender 5.1 and is marked as compatible with Blender's extension system, so it installs the way other extensions do. If you run a different version, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility with other releases is not stated here. The add-on runs inside the application, where you ask questions, run code, and search online for answers. For the current supported versions, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you download it.

Is Blender Buddy free to use?

Blender Buddy is listed here as free, and it is released under the GPL license. Because pricing and licensing terms can change over time, the developer's page is the best place to confirm the current details before you download. The name itself describes the add-on as free and local. For any questions about how the license applies to your own use, the GPL terms and the developer's page cover the specifics, so it is worth reading both before relying on the add-on in a project.

Does Blender Buddy run code inside Blender?

Blender Buddy lets you run code from inside Blender, alongside asking it questions and searching online for answers, all without leaving the application. Keeping these actions in one place means you can move between a question, a snippet of code, and an online search within Blender itself. This covers the main things the add-on is built to do. A demo video is available on YouTube for anyone who wants a closer look before installing it.

Does Blender Buddy have knowledge of the Blender API?

Blender Buddy draws on the Blender API and documentation, which the developer notes leads to more precise answers. This knowledge sits behind the questions you ask, the code you run, and the online searches you make from inside Blender. For a closer look at the add-on in use, a demo video is available on YouTube, and the developer's page carries the full details for anyone who wants to read more before installing.
