Mesh Array earns its spot in the Superhive library for bringing array functionality into Blender's mesh edit mode alongside a preset system for recalling prior settings.
Mesh Array is an add-on for Blender built around object array functionality, with operators that have been enhanced and adjusted from the add-on's earlier functions. Rather than working only at the object level, it can be arrayed directly during mesh editing, keeping the process within your editing workflow.
The tool includes a preset feature, letting you go back to your previous settings when you need them again. This makes it possible to reuse configurations without setting them up from scratch. Documentation is included with the add-on, and a demo video is available for those who want to see it referenced before installing.
Mesh Array is developed by Hydrocallis and distributed under the GPL license. It is listed on Superhive, and a demo image accompanies the listing. The developer invites feedback through a linked Blender Artists thread. For anyone working with repeated geometry inside Blender's mesh editing tools, it offers a focused way to handle arrays.
Mesh Array is best for blender users who need to array geometry directly within mesh editing and reuse settings via presets.
Mesh Array is completely free to download and use.
Mesh Array lists compatibility with Blender 2.93 through 3.3, with the listing also noting Blender versions 3.6 to 5.0. Because ranges can differ across listings, check the developer's page for the version details that apply to your current Blender install before downloading. Matching the add-on to your Blender version helps ensure the operators and mesh edit functionality behave as intended in your setup.
Mesh Array includes a preset feature that lets you go back to your previous settings. This means configurations you have already set up can be recalled rather than rebuilt each time you work. For workflows that involve repeating similar array setups, the preset feature keeps prior settings accessible so you can return to them when needed. This can save time when you frequently revisit the same array arrangements while working within Blender's mesh editing tools.
Mesh Array is distributed under the GPL license, according to its listing details. In this catalog it is listed as free, but licensing and availability can change, so visit the developer's page or the Hydrocallis store listing for the current terms before you download. The GPL license governs how the add-on may be used, modified and redistributed once you have it.
Mesh Array can be arrayed directly during mesh editing, so its array functionality applies while you are working on a mesh rather than only at the object level. Its operators build on and adjust the add-on's earlier functions. Documentation is included with the add-on, and a demo video is available if you want to see the tool referenced before setting it up in Blender.
