Why we like it

Loki keeps a tightly scoped focus: storing and recalling object coordinates. Its broad Blender version support, from 2.8 through 4.3, makes it easy to slot into existing setups.

What is Loki?

Loki, short for Location Keeper, is a Blender add-on that stores the X, Y, Z location of any object in your scene into a list. You can save positions and recall them whenever needed, or swap the location of one object to another entry on the list.

The add-on suits scenarios that involve precise object placement in 3D space, saving and recalling multiple camera positions, saving and recalling multiple lighting positions, and restoring a specific position while keyframing animation. It includes X, Y, Z coordinate toggle buttons to set a selected object's location using the active coordinate from a chosen list entry, plus Mirror toggle buttons for setting a mirrored location relative to a selected entry.

Loki is distributed under the GPL license and is compatible across a wide range of Blender releases. It is listed as Blender Extension compatible and comes with documentation. The developer's page carries the full details and download.

Who is Loki best for?

Loki is best for blender users doing precise object placement, managing multiple camera or lighting positions, or recalling specific positions while keyframing animation.

How much does Loki cost?

What can Loki's Mirror toggle do?

Loki includes Mirror toggle buttons that set a selected object's mirror location using the active coordinate relative to a chosen location on the list. This works alongside the X, Y, Z coordinate toggle buttons, which set a selected object's location using the active coordinate from a selected list entry. The changelog also notes a bug fix related to Set location working only with mirror or cursor mode, so consult the developer's page for the latest behavior.
