Version 1.5 focuses on performance, adding particle sampling and a reworked caching system aimed at large scenes and file sizes. Full source code is included with a UI integrated into the Particles tab.
P2O Converter is a Blender add-on for turning particle simulations into real animated objects with full control. It converts particles to objects across a timeline with keyframes, preserving location, rotation, scale, and visibility animation. Smart visibility options use either actual visibility or scale-to-zero, and it supports Mesh, Armature, and Empty object types. It works with any particle system using object instancing.
The workflow is straightforward: select your particle system object, then your instance object, choose your keyframe settings, and click Convert to generate animated objects for every particle. A one-click Apply Transforms option is available with optional Make Single User. Converted results can be exported to FBX with settings optimized for particle-based animation, then imported into other software such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, and Houdini.
Version 1.5 adds a Particle Sampling feature to convert a specified percentage of particles for faster processing and resource efficiency, plus a rewritten caching system that gathers data for all frames at once. The update reports up to 50% better performance than the previous version and is optimized for handling extremely large numbers of particles and large file sizes.
P2O Converter is best for blender artists and animators converting particle simulations into editable, keyframed objects for motion graphics, VFX, or export to other software.
P2O Converter is completely free to download and use.
P2O Converter follows a short workflow: select your particle system object, then select your instance object, choose your keyframe settings for location, rotation, scale, and visibility, and click Convert. The add-on then creates animated objects for every particle across the timeline. Smart visibility options let you use actual visibility or scale-to-zero. Afterward, you can optionally apply transforms with a one-click option and Make Single User, and export the result as FBX for use elsewhere.
P2O Converter includes FBX export with settings optimized for particle-based animation. After exporting to FBX, the animated objects can be imported into other 3D software such as Unreal Engine, Unity, Maya, and Houdini. This makes the add-on a bridge between Blender and real-time engines or other production pipelines, letting procedural simulations become editable animated objects you can carry into external renderers and game engines.
P2O Converter is optimized for converting extremely large numbers of particles and handling large file sizes smoothly. The Particle Sampling feature lets you convert only a specified percentage of particles for faster processing and resource efficiency. Its caching system was rewritten to gather data for all frames at once before conversion begins, which reduces update lag. Version 1.5 reports up to 50% better performance compared to the previous version.
P2O Converter is listed as free in this catalog. It ships with full source code and easy installation, a clean UI integrated into the Particles tab, and a helpful instructions panel built into the add-on itself.
