Direktor 3D earns its place in the superhive library by packaging template scenes, geometry-node effects, a 3D logo maker, models, lighting presets, materials, and a mocap dance pack under one add-on aimed at music video creation. A demo video is available.
Direktor 3D is a Blender add-on made for music video creators. It gathers 14 customizable template scenes with procedural generation controls, letting you build cities, car scenes, characters, or visualizers. A set of 14 effects powered by Blender geometry nodes runs in realtime, drawn directly onto your scene and adjustable through modifiers.
The package also includes a 3D logo maker with 12 editable text presets, 100 3D objects, 20 lighting presets with dynamic lighting controls, and 15 materials you apply by selecting an object and choosing a look. A mocap dance pack adds 21 preset modern dance animations that can be applied onto any 3D model.
Tools sit in a custom pie menu covering commonly used processes, and links to video tutorials are built into the plugin. Direktor 3D is described as an ongoing project, with updates adding more features and content packs over time. It supports Blender versions 3.0 through 3.6 and is distributed under the GPL license.
Direktor 3D is best for blender users creating music videos who want ready-made template scenes, geometry-node effects, 3D text, models, lighting presets, materials, and dance animations in one add-on.
Direktor 3D is completely free to download and use.
Direktor 3D lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.0 through 3.6, so it covers the 3.x series up to 3.6. The add-on is described as an ongoing project that receives updates adding more features and content packs over time, though the listed version range stops at 3.6. If you run a newer Blender release, check the developer's page to confirm current support before relying on it in production. Within the supported range, the templates, geometry-node effects, and other content packs are all designed to run inside Blender.
Direktor 3D is distributed under the GPL license, the same license family Blender itself uses, which is common for Blender add-ons. The GPL governs how the plugin's code can be used, modified, and redistributed. For the exact terms that apply to your situation, along with any conditions tied to the bundled content packs such as the templates, materials, and dance animations, refer to the developer's page and the documentation included with the plugin.
Direktor 3D is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing can change, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download.

Direktor 3D includes 21 preset modern dance animations that can be applied onto any 3D model, delivered as a mocap dance pack. Alongside the animations, you can drop in 100 ready-made 3D objects, choose from 15 materials by selecting an object and picking a look, and set up scenes with 20 lighting presets that include dynamic lighting controls. Links to video tutorials are built into the plugin to walk through these steps.
