Clippy earns its place in the superhive library as a focused add-on: it addresses Blender's default clipping limits with configurable presets rather than a broad feature set.
Clippy is a Blender add-on that provides camera and viewport clipping presets. The default clipping options in Blender can be restrictive in fields such as product design, 3D printing, advertising, and architectural visualization, and Clippy supplies tighter clipping values that you can adjust using customizable presets.
The presets appear in both the 3D view and camera properties, and they are configurable from the user preferences.
Clippy is licensed under GPL and lists compatibility with Blender 3.6 through 4.4, and it is marked as Blender Extension compatible. Installation follows the standard add-on route: download the zip and install it from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. Since Blender 4.2, you can also install it by dragging the zip file into the Blender interface. Documentation is available.
Clippy is best for blender users who need tighter, adjustable clipping in the viewport and camera, particularly for product design, 3D printing, advertising, and architectural visualization work.
Clippy is completely free to download and use.
Clippy lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.6 through 4.4, covering a wide span of releases. It is also marked as Blender Extension compatible, and the add-on is distributed under the GPL license. If you are on a version within that range, Clippy should install and run as a standard add-on. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Clippy installs like any other Blender add-on. Download the zip file, then open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and install it from there. Since Blender 4.2, you have a second option: drag the zip file directly into the Blender interface to install it. Once enabled, the clipping presets become available in the 3D view and camera properties. Documentation is also available for reference.
Clippy places its clipping presets in two spots inside Blender: the 3D view and the camera properties. The presets themselves are configurable from the user preferences, so you can set up the tighter clipping values you want and then apply them where you need them. This covers both viewport and camera work. The add-on is aimed at fields like product design, 3D printing, advertising, and architectural visualization, where the default clipping can feel restrictive.
Clippy is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing can change over time, so for current terms it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is released under the GPL license and has been published for several years. If you want the most up-to-date licensing and availability details, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you download, since terms shown elsewhere may differ from what is offered here.
