Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library as an external-program approach that stays outside Blender, letting your button setup and scripts carry across Blender versions.

What is Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar (Use With Windows Only)?

Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar is a button bar for Blender that works as an external program rather than a normal AddOn. Because it stays outside the Blender window, the developer states it can work with prior and possibly all future Blender versions, and it does not interfere with other AddOns in Blender. It runs on MS-Windows systems only and will not work on Mac, Linux or others.

The bar ships with more than 140 predefined buttons as samples, and you can define your own buttons and start your own scripts with a single click. A supplied Python library gives access to Blender resources available through Python, with pre-built "Build-Stones" intended to make scripting easier for people who do not yet know Python perfectly. The bar can be minimized or hidden with one click when not needed.

Layer 4 focuses on Rigid-Body functions, including "Canonball's and Explosions" and "Bullet-Swarm" or "Machine Gun" animations: define the bullets, set target and origin, and the button runs the complete animation. A high screen resolution is recommended. A one-time purchase includes lifetime free updates.

Frequently asked questions

Does Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar work on Mac or Linux?

Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar works on MS-Windows systems only. The developer states clearly that it will not work on Mac, Linux or other systems, so it is a Windows-exclusive product. It is also described as needing a high screen resolution and may not be best suited for use with a laptop, so a larger, higher-resolution display is recommended before you plan to use the button bar in your Blender workflow.

Does Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar support new Blender versions?

Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar runs as an external program rather than a standard Blender AddOn. According to the developer, this concept means it can work with prior and possibly all future Blender versions. It stays outside the Blender window, keeps Blender standard, and lets your modifications remain independent of new Blender versions. A 2022 update noted it was tested with the then-newest Blender 3.1.0, and it can keep your most important tools available across whichever Blender version you use.

How do the Rigid-Body animations in Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar work?

Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar implements Rigid-Body functions on Layer 4, including options described as "Canonball's and Explosions", "Bullet-Swarm" and "Machine Gun" animations. For these, you define the bullets and set the target and the origin, then the button runs the complete "shoot the bullets" animation. The bar also includes the Python source codes for these functions. Buttons 17 to 21 on Layer 4 let you make objects fly around with one click.

Is Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar free?

Blender Quickbuttons 6.0 Python-Buttonbar is listed as free in this catalog. The developer describes it as a one-time purchase that includes lifetime free updates, and several dated update notes cover added features and fixes over time.
