Origin Tools earns its place in the Superhive library as a focused, single-purpose add-on: it handles one job, repositioning object origins, and reaches it through one hotkey. Its long Blender version list, from 2.8 to 3.4, and GPL license make it a straightforward pick for anyone who adjusts origins often.
Origin Tools is a Blender add-on from developer Hamen for adjusting the origin of 3D models. It targets a single editing task: moving where an object's origin sits relative to its mesh, reached through one keyboard prompt.
A hotkey (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C) brings up its options. Origin to Top moves an object's origin to the top of the mesh, Origin to Bottom sends it to the bottom, and Origin to Selection places it on the selected face or faces. Documentation is included.
The add-on covers Blender versions 2.8 through 3.4 and is released under the GPL license. Published more than three years ago, it has recorded over 50 sales on Superhive, and its developer is a Dev Fund contributor. For current licensing, check the developer's page.
Origin Tools is best for blender users who frequently reposition object origins to the top, bottom, or a selected face of a mesh and want to do it through a single hotkey.
Origin Tools is completely free to download and use.
Origin Tools lists compatibility with Blender 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, so it spans a wide range of releases across the 2.8 and 3.x series. If you are working in one of those versions, the add-on's origin options are designed to run within it. For newer Blender releases beyond that list, compatibility is not stated, so it is worth checking the developer's page before installing to confirm the version you are on is covered.
Origin Tools is built around a single hotkey, Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C, which brings up its set of options. From that prompt you can choose Origin to Top to move an object's origin to the top of the mesh, Origin to Bottom to send it to the bottom, or Origin to Selection to place it on the selected face or faces. The add-on also ships with documentation, which is the place to look for setup and usage details beyond the hotkey itself.
Origin Tools is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it here without a purchase. Pricing and licensing can change over time and may differ on the developer's own store, so for the current terms it is best to check Hamen's page directly. The add-on is also released under the GPL license, which governs how it can be used and redistributed. If licensing matters for your project, review both the GPL terms and the developer's listing before relying on it.
Origin Tools is released under the GPL license. In practical terms the GPL lets you use, modify, and redistribute the add-on, with conditions around sharing source when you distribute changes. If you plan to modify or redistribute Origin Tools as part of your own work, read the full GPL terms so you understand the obligations involved. For any additional licensing notes, check the developer's page directly, since terms on the developer's own store can differ from what is listed here.
