Stands out in the superhive library for bundling Freestyle wireframe setup and ground placement into single-click operations, all reachable from one N-panel tab.
Freestyle Wireframe & Rest on Ground is a Blender addon built to streamline technical rendering workflows. It's aimed at technical artists, product designers, and anyone who needs clean wireframe renders without manual setup.
The addon enables Freestyle rendering automatically, configures the Line Set to use Edge Marks only, and marks all edges of selected mesh objects as Freestyle Edges. Line thickness is customizable, and selected objects can be dropped to the ground at Z = 0 in a single click. All controls sit in the WireFrame Render tab of the N-panel.
The latest version adds gradient color support for Freestyle lines, letting you create smooth color transitions along wireframe strokes. It works with Cycles and Eevee, supports Blender 4.0 through 5.0, and is released under the GPL license.
