Ditto earns its place in the superhive library for handling object-based customization where SDF workflows fall short, and for keeping work editable so changes don't mean starting over.
Ditto is an add-on for Blender that blends custom objects together with projection and smoothing in an SDF-like way via voxels. Its layer system lets you blend multiple objects within a single collection, retaining shape while you customize the blending.
The add-on suits quick creations, blockouts, or speeding up a professional modeling approach. Where SDFs fall short on more object-based customization, Ditto does not, and it can be combined with Blender's modifiers to reach a wide range of results. Because your work stays editable, you can make changes without redoing all of it.
Ditto is distributed under the MIT license and is built on Serpens 3. Its compatibility has tracked Blender's releases: V3.2.1 targets Blender 4.2.3+, V3.3 targets 4.3, and V3.4+ targets 4.3.2+. Documentation is still being worked on for the V3.4.1 release, and a demo video is available.
Ditto - V3.4.2(Free On Gumroad) is best for blender artists doing quick creations, blockouts, or speeding up a professional modeling approach.
Ditto - V3.4.2(Free On Gumroad) is completely free to download and use.
Ditto's compatibility has followed Blender's releases across versions. Ditto V3.2.1 targets Blender 4.2.3 and later, V3.3 targets Blender 4.3, and the V3.4 line targets Blender 4.3.2 and later. Match your Blender version to the corresponding Ditto release before installing. The add-on is also listed as Blender Extension compatible and packaged as an add-on. For the current version and any newer compatibility details, check the developer's page, since these targets shift as Blender updates.
Ditto is listed as free in this catalog, and it lives on the developer's Gumroad page. It is distributed under the MIT license.

Ditto V3.4.1 brought back Blend Styles, added a second color and color blur, and reintroduced Fusion, per the update notes dated February 7, 2025. An earlier V3.4.1 update fixed boolean issues when selecting Fast, Vox, or Exact. Documentation is still being worked on for the V3.4.1 release. For the full history and any newer changes, check the developer's page, since updates continue to arrive as the add-on develops.
