Geodesic Domes has been downloaded more than 39,000 times from the Blender extensions library, where it sits at rank 102. It earns a place for covering a specific modeling need — geodesic dome geometry — as a former bundled add-on now carried forward by the Community team.
Geodesic Domes is a Blender add-on that creates geodesic dome type objects. It is found in the View3D menu, under Add → Mesh, where it adds a command for building this geometry. The add-on was originally written by Andy Houston.
Once part of the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1, Geodesic Domes is now offered as it is by the Community team, with limited support. The current release is version 0.3.6, published in May 2024, and it is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. This release ships with no changelog.
The add-on is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later and requires no special permissions to run. At roughly 24.6 KB it is a small download. For documentation and the latest details, see the developer's page.
Geodesic Domes is best for blender users who need to generate geodesic dome type objects.
Geodesic Domes is completely free to download and use.
Geodesic Domes lists compatibility with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it runs on the current long-term-support release and later versions. It began as one of the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1 and is now provided separately with limited support. If you are on an older Blender build, check the developer's page to confirm whether an earlier version of the add-on is available for your setup.
Geodesic Domes adds its command to the View3D menu, under Add → Mesh, where you can create geodesic dome type objects directly in your scene. The add-on can be installed by dragging its file into Blender, or by downloading it and using Install from Disk in the extensions preferences. It requires no special permissions to run. Full documentation is linked from the developer's page.
Geodesic Domes is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. It is listed here as free, and it requires no special permissions to run inside Blender. For the current licensing terms and any usage conditions, refer to the developer's page. The add-on was originally authored by Andy Houston, with the current release carried forward by the Community team.
Geodesic Domes version 0.3.6 was published in May 2024 and ships without a changelog, so there are no documented notes describing changes for this release. It is offered as it is, with limited support, following its earlier inclusion among the add-ons bundled with Blender 4.1. For the most recent status and documentation, the developer's page is the place to check.
