Why we like it

Haggis Tools stands out in the superhive library as a wide-ranging Blender utility set: rather than one effect, it collects many small workflow shortcuts under quick menus and top-right icons. The developer notes it evolves with production use and welcomes feature requests from hobbyists and studios alike.

What is Haggis Tools?

Haggis Tools is a Blender add-on (2.8+) from Online Render, geared toward optimizing workflows, reducing repetitive tasks, and saving artists time. The add-on gathers a broad set of utilities and keeps them within reach through quick menus and a set of non-intrusive icons in the top right of the Blender interface.

On the object side, it can copy and paste location, rotation, and scale, store and recall those transforms, duplicate objects and automatically join them, and add empties to selected vertices for instancing. Selection tools cover select by polycount, selecting objects disabled in the render engine, and locking inverted selection. Animation work runs through a quick menu opened with Alt + Right Click, where you can keyframe transforms, skip keyframes in user-set increments, and calculate or clear motion paths.

The top-right icons handle QuadView, gizmo toggles, name display, and camera view lock, and a user-specified editor can open as a floating window for dual-screen setups. The add-on ships with documentation, a video tutorial, and Discord support, and receives free updates.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Haggis Tools work with?

Haggis Tools is built for Blender 2.8 and later, so any version from that release onward should be able to run it. The add-on is described as constantly evolving alongside the developer's own production use of Blender, with free updates rolling out over time. If you are on a build older than 2.8, you would need to update Blender first. For the exact current compatibility and the latest release, check the developer's page, since new features continue to be added.

Where do Haggis Tools appear in the Blender interface?

Haggis Tools places a set of non-intrusive icons in the top right of the Blender interface, giving a visual guide and access to its core tools. From there you can toggle QuadView, switch the transform, rotate, and scale gizmos on or off, display the name of selected objects, and lock the camera view. The toolbar itself can be customized, and a user-specified editor type can be opened as a floating window, which the developer notes suits dual-screen setups. Additional tools sit within quick menus.

How do I use the animation tools in Haggis Tools?

Haggis Tools opens its animation tool quick menu when you press Alt + Right Click. Inside, you can keyframe location, rotation, and scale, copy and paste those transforms including individual channels, paste and keyframe, and reset selected location and rotation. It also lets you skip keyframes and move the timeline in incremental steps you set yourself, copy animation data and make it a single user, and calculate or clear object motion paths. These sit together in the animation submenu for quicker access.

What selection tools does Haggis Tools include?

Haggis Tools adds several selection helpers to Blender. You can select objects by matching polycount, select objects with a scale greater than one, and select objects that are disabled in the render engine. It also supports locking an inverted selection, with lock and unlock selection options grouped in a selection tools submenu. In edit mode, it offers duplicate and separate selected topology alongside material assignment options. These are aimed at reducing the manual steps involved in isolating and working with specific objects or geometry.

Is Haggis Tools free to use?

Haggis Tools is listed as free here in the catalog, and the developer highlights free updates with new features added over time. Pricing and licensing terms can change, though, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on also comes with video and documentation plus a Discord group for support, and the developer actively invites feature ideas and requests from users ranging from hobbyists to studios.
