Duplicator earns its place in the superhive library by collecting six duplication methods and two extra utilities under one Blender add-on, with a documentation page and demo video for reference.
Duplicator is an add-on for Blender that handles object duplication through several distinct methods rather than a single command. It currently offers six duplication operators plus two additional utilities, each aimed at a different way of copying and arranging selected objects.
The six methods cover a range of layouts. Duplicate Array copies objects using the Array method and supports align to surface by pressing S during the operation. Duplicate Circular arranges copies in a circular pattern around a source object, while Duplicate Randomize spreads them with random direction, scale, and rotation and also supports align to surface. Duplicate along Curve follows the Array approach but runs along a curve, Duplicate to Mesh places copies on a mesh's faces or vertices, and Duplicate to Cursor sends copies to the 3D Cursor.
Two extra features round it out: Separate Array splits objects arrayed with the Array modifier into individual ones, and Randomize+ applies random transforms with additional options. Duplicator works with Blender 3.0 through 5.0 and is released under the GPL license. A documentation page covers each operator in detail, and a demo video is available.
Duplicator is best for blender users who duplicate objects in patterns — arrays, circular layouts, curve-following copies, or placement onto mesh geometry and the 3D Cursor.
Duplicator is completely free to download and use.
Duplicator supports Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0, so a 4.0 install falls within its listed compatibility range. It's distributed under the GPL license. Because it covers such a wide span of releases, you have flexibility across older and newer Blender builds, though for anything version-specific it's worth checking the developer's documentation page. That page walks through each operator individually, which helps if a particular method behaves differently on your setup or Blender version.
Duplicator is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to your Blender setup without a purchase here. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so it's best to confirm the current terms on the developer's page before relying on them. The add-on is released under the GPL license, and the developer also maintains other Blender tools such as Quickmod, Easeam, Multilattice, Mirrorpro, and Armacurve if you want more from the same creator.
Duplicator includes a Duplicate to Cursor operator that copies selected objects and places them directly at the 3D Cursor. When every duplicated object is a mesh type, the copies can be placed on top of the cursor. For the cursor rotation setting, the developer's documentation page explains how to configure it, so it's worth checking there for that specific option. The documentation walks through each operator in detail if you need more guidance.
Duplicator offers both Duplicate Array and Duplicate along Curve, and they share the same underlying approach. Duplicate Array copies selected objects using the Array method, while Duplicate along Curve works similarly but follows a curve. So the key distinction is the curve: Duplicate along Curve arranges copies along a curve, whereas Duplicate Array does not. Both operators are covered in the developer's documentation page, which walks through each one with step-by-step details if you need the exact settings.
Duplicator supports aligning duplicates to a surface in a couple of its methods. With Duplicate Array, you can enable align to surface by pressing S during the operation, and Duplicate Randomize also supports align to surface as it scatters copies with random direction, scale, and rotation. Both options are part of those operators rather than a separate feature. The developer's documentation page describes each operator's options in more detail if you need the exact controls for aligning to a surface.
