Once part of Blender 4.1's bundled add-ons, BTracer now lives in the Blender extensions library and remains available as-is under community stewardship.
BTracer provides tools for converting and animating objects and particles into curves inside Blender. You reach it through the 3D Viewport, in the Sidebar under the Create tab.
The add-on was part of Blender's bundled add-ons in version 4.1 and is now offered as-is with limited support. It carries the work of original authors liero, crazycourier, Atom, Meta-Androcto, and MacKracken, and is maintained under the Blender extensions Community team.
BTracer is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, and it requires no special permissions. The current release is version 1.2.4, published May 14th, 2024, with no changelog noted for this version. It's distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later, comes in at roughly 17 KB, and has been downloaded close to 30,000 times from the Blender extensions library.
