Gizmo Creator earns its spot in the superhive library on focus alone: it does one thing, letting Blender users create custom gizmos and tools, and it carries a top rating across its handful of reviews.
Gizmo Creator is a Blender add-on from Pitiwazou built for creating custom gizmos and tailor-made tools inside the application. It targets Blender versions 4.5 through 5.1 and is released under the GPL license, with Cycles noted as the render engine used.
The add-on comes in several tiers. A reader-only option loads presets made with the full version, while other tiers scale by the number of users and cover both personal and commercial projects. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
