G-Lasso Draw earns a spot in the superhive modeling library for pairing Grease Pencil drawing with non-destructive modifier shaping. It holds a 5 rating from 3 reviews and lists over 200 sales.
G-Lasso Draw makes polygons quickly by drawing lasso strokes with Grease Pencil in Blender. It's aimed at building a rough model and getting inspired rather than precise final geometry. Because it works through Grease Pencil, you can draw with camera shake compensation and use square and circle shapes.
The mesh is shaped by a modifier, so the form stays adjustable non-destructively after the polygon is created. A G-Thickness Gesture opens multi-function auxiliary tools for adjusting modifiers, converting objects, and changing add-on settings, covering options such as Mirror, Solidify, Skin, Smooth, Bevel, Array, Remesh, Apply Modifier, Remove Modifier, and Modifier Scroll.
Boolean work is handled by Smart Boolean, and the Grease Pencil can drive Boolean operations including Difference, Union, Slice, Intersect, and Knife, plus Scroll Boolean Object and Scroll Boolean Modifiers. Keyboard shortcuts run each function, and the add-on lists support for Blender versions 2.79 through 5.1 under the GPL license.
G-Lasso Draw is best for blender artists blocking out rough models and getting inspired through fast Grease Pencil lasso drawing.
G-Lasso Draw is completely free to download and use.
G-Lasso Draw lists support for Blender versions 2.79 through 5.1, which spans a wide range of releases from the older 2.7x series up to recent builds. If your Blender version falls inside that window, the add-on should be compatible. For the exact behaviour on your specific build and any notes tied to newer versions, check the developer's page, which links the documentation, release notes, and a BlenderArtists thread where those details are covered directly.
G-Lasso Draw is driven by keyboard shortcuts. Shift + V starts G-Lasso Draw, Ctrl + V runs Boolean Union, Alt + V runs Boolean Difference, and Ctrl + Alt + V runs Boolean Slice. Ctrl + Shift + V opens the G-Thickness Gesture, and Ctrl + Shift + Alt + V brings up the popup menu. These bindings cover drawing, the Boolean modes, the gesture tool, and the menu, so the main functions are triggered from the keyboard.
G-Lasso Draw includes Smart Boolean, and you can use the Grease Pencil to drive Boolean operations. The available modes are Difference, Union, Slice, and Intersect, along with Knife. It also provides Scroll Boolean Object and Scroll Boolean Modifiers for cycling through those options. Combined with the keymaps, Boolean Union runs on Ctrl + V, Difference on Alt + V, and Slice on Ctrl + Alt + V, so Boolean actions can be triggered while you draw.
G-Lasso Draw is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current pricing, license details, and any purchase options, check the developer's page. That page also links the documentation, release notes, and the BlenderArtists thread, which are the best sources for confirming what's included and how the add-on is provided today.
