Machin3Tools ranks among the most popular products on superhive, and stands out for pie menus that supply their own custom tools rather than reshuffling native Blender ones.
Machin3Tools is a collection of Blender tools and pie menus that keeps evolving, delivered as one customizable package. Its pie menus typically provide a whole set of new custom tools rather than a rearrangement of native Blender tools, spanning the Smart, Modes, Save, Shading, Views, Align, Cursor and Origin, Transform, Snapping, Collections, Workspace, and Tools pies.
The tool set includes Smart Vert, Smart Edge, Smart Face, Clean Up, Focus, Mirror and Un-Mirror, Align, Group, Surface Slide, Material Picker, Quad Sphere, and Star Connect, among others. It comes in two base variants: Prime covers roughly 85 percent of the DeusEx variant, while DeusEx adds the Edge Constrained Transform tool, Group Gizmos and Poses, the Punch It manifold Extrusion tool, and advanced Assembly and Asset tools such as Assembly Editing, Assembly Variants, and Assembly Origin Orientation and Rotation Adjustment.
Machin3Tools 1.13.11 works with Blender 4.2 LTS to 5.2, and both variants include one year of free updates. It ranks among the most popular products on superhive.
Machin3Tools is best for blender users who want a broad, customizable set of tools and pie menus in one package.
Machin3Tools is completely free to download and use.
Machin3Tools 1.13.11 works with Blender 4.2 LTS through 5.2, so it supports 5.2 along with the 4.x releases in that range. If you run a Blender version outside 4.2 to 5.2, check the developer's page for compatibility details before installing. The developer also maintains What's New and Changelog pages that track the latest changes across releases, which are useful when moving between Blender versions.
Machin3Tools comes in two base variants, Prime and DeusEx. Prime covers about 85 percent of DeusEx and already contains almost everything. DeusEx adds a few more advanced tools: the Edge Constrained Transform tool, Group Gizmos and Poses, the Punch It manifold Extrusion tool that is similar to the dedicated PUNCHit addon, and advanced Assembly and Asset tools such as Assembly Editing, Assembly Variants, and Assembly Origin Orientation and Rotation Adjustment. Both variants include one year of free updates.
Machin3Tools includes a range of pie menus that typically provide their own set of new custom tools rather than a rearrangement of native Blender tools.

Alongside the pie menus, the package bundles individual tools such as Smart Vert, Smart Edge, Smart Face, Clean Up, Focus, Mirror and Un-Mirror, Surface Slide, and more.
