Why we like it

Hudinator earns its place in the Blender library for combining a large set of importable HUD elements with per-object editing across both EEVEE and Cycles.

What is Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer?

Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer is a Blender add-on from PIXLOR for building sci-fi styled HUD panels in a quick and easy way. It draws on a database of over 140 elements ready to import into a project. Sixty of these are built with the Geometry Nodes system so they can be edited, while the remaining 83 are basic decals. Combining and editing individual elements lets you create simple shapes or complex structures.

Each non-decal object carries its own settings window split into three sections. Settings covers the shape and differs from element to element; Material lists the materials assigned to the object; and Transform handles animation, including different types of circular object animation. The same material is assigned to every imported object, so editing it in one place updates all objects sharing it. A duplication button makes a material local to one object, and you can swap in your own materials or restore the default.

Objects can be duplicated freely, with each copy inheriting the original's shape, materials and animation until you make it unique. Hudinator works in both EEVEE and Cycles, and a "Place at" checkbox controls where an object is placed. It is released under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer work with Blender 4.4?

Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer is listed as working correctly up to Blender 4.4, with a stated compatibility range of Blender 3.4 through 4.4. The 1.2.2 update brought the add-on in line with Blender 4.3. If you run a version outside that range, it's worth checking the developer's page to confirm the current supported releases before installing, since compatibility can shift as both the add-on and Blender continue to update over time.

Does Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer render in both EEVEE and Cycles?

Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer works in both EEVEE and Cycles, so you can pick whichever render engine suits your project. The 60 Geometry Nodes objects each carry their own settings panel for adjusting appearance, and the 83 basic decals drop into scenes rendered with either engine. For specifics on how a given element behaves in each renderer, the developer's page and the available demo video are the places to look for more detail.

How do materials behave when editing objects in Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer?

Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer assigns the same material to every imported object, so editing that material on one object changes it across all objects sharing it. To make a material unique to a single object, press the duplication icon, and its edits then stay local. You can also delete the default material with the trash button and pick your own from the list, or restore the default with the plus button. Since version 1.2, materials can be renamed, though the default material cannot be renamed unless you duplicate or replace it first.

Is Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer free to download?

Hudinator: Sci-Fi Ui Visualizer is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GPL license. Licensing terms on marketplaces can change over time, so for the current cost, license details and any usage conditions, check the developer's page directly before downloading. The listing also notes documentation is available, which is worth reviewing alongside the demo video to understand what the add-on includes and how its elements are set up.
