A narrowly focused addon: two edit-mode operations for circles, nothing more. If clean circular arrangements come up often in your modeling, it covers that specific need.
Make Circle is a Blender addon that works in edit mode to generate and arrange circles. It provides two operations centered on circular geometry, both driven by selecting vertices in your mesh.
The Add Circle operation lets you select a vertex as the center and instantly generate a circle perpendicular to your camera view. The Set Circle operation takes three or more selected vertices and automatically arranges them into a perfect circular formation. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available for those who want to see the workflow before installing.
Distributed under the GPL license and listed for Blender 2.8, Make Circle keeps its scope narrow: two focused tools for generating and arranging circles directly in edit mode. It earns its place in the superhive library as a small, single-purpose addon for artists who need clean circular arrangements while modeling.
Make Circle is best for blender users who need to generate circles or arrange existing vertices into circular formations while modeling in edit mode.
Make Circle is completely free to download and use.
Make Circle is listed for Blender 2.8. That's the version noted on the developer's page, so if you're on a later Blender release it's worth checking the developer's page or trying the demo video to confirm the operations behave as expected in your setup. Both of its tools, Add Circle and Set Circle, run inside Blender's edit mode, which is where you select the vertices they act on.
Make Circle is distributed under the GPL license. GPL is a common open-source license across Blender addons, and it's the license listed for this addon on the developer's page. For the exact terms that apply to your use, including redistribution and modification, review the full license text and check the developer's page for any additional details specific to Make Circle.
Make Circle is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so for current pricing and terms it's best to check the developer's page directly. The addon is released under the GPL license, and both of its edit-mode tools, Add Circle and Set Circle, are described on the developer's page along with documentation and a demo video.
Make Circle's Add Circle operation lets you select a single vertex to act as the center, then instantly generates a circle perpendicular to your camera view. Its second operation, Set Circle, works differently: you select three or more vertices and it automatically arranges them into a perfect circular formation. Both run in Blender's edit mode. A demo video is available on the developer's page if you want to see the operations before installing.
