Object Utility Nodes earns its place in the blender_extensions library for combining custom node editor setup with object and color harmony nodes in a single add-on.
Object Utility Nodes is a Blender add-on from Bitsqueezer that handles the setup of custom node editors and the integration of custom node classes into the editor.
The add-on includes several node types. The Number Node lets you enter a float value and use it as an output. It also provides an Object Selector Node and an Object Target Node. For color work, harmonic color combinations generate colors from harmonies such as complementary colors, triads, and analogous palettes, while dynamic control lets you adjust the base color, angle, and color space for flexible adjustments.
Version 1.0.4 was last updated on 2025-04-19 and works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. Builds are available for Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon, and Linux, installable by dragging the add-on into a Blender window or through Install from Disk. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and a demo video is available.
Object Utility Nodes is best for blender users working with custom node editors and node-based color harmonies.
