Why we like it

Poly Finder earns its place in the Superhive library by turning polygon analysis into a ranked list and a viewport heatmap, so heavy objects become visible without digging through the outliner.

What is Poly Finder - Find The Problem Objects Fast?

Poly Finder identifies which objects carry the highest polygon counts in a Blender scene. Rather than searching through the outliner, it presents a ranked list of all mesh objects sorted by polygon count, with each object's percentage impact on the scene shown alongside it. Objects can be selected straight from the list using click, Ctrl-click, or Shift-click.

A viewport heatmap colours objects by weight, with green for light objects, yellow and orange for medium weight, and red for the heaviest. Several geometry metrics are available: faces, triangles (the post-modifier count that renders), vertices, and edges. An Include Modifiers toggle reveals the real cost of Subdivision Surface and other stack effects.

A polygon budget system lets you set a limit per object and select everything over it in one click. Batch tools remove Subdivision Surface modifiers in bulk, add Decimate modifiers with a custom ratio, and apply all decimates at once. Analysis scope can be set to the entire scene, visible objects, selected objects, or a specific collection to isolate heavy assets.

Who is Poly Finder - Find The Problem Objects Fast best for?

Poly Finder - Find The Problem Objects Fast is best for optimizing imported marketplace assets, game development and real-time rendering workflows, preparing scenes for animation or simulation, and troubleshooting laggy viewports.

Frequently asked questions

Does Poly Finder work with Blender 4.2 and later?

Poly Finder supports Blender versions 4.2 through 5.0, so it works on 4.2 and the newer releases up to the 5.0 range. It has been used with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. If you're running a Blender build older than 4.2, check Oculis Studio's page before installing to confirm the add-on loads correctly in your version, since compatibility outside the stated range isn't guaranteed.

What geometry metrics can Poly Finder measure?

Poly Finder can measure four geometry types: faces (standard polygon count), triangles (the post-modifier count that actually renders), vertices, and edges. You can switch between them depending on what you're analyzing. An Include Modifiers toggle shows the real cost of Subdivision Surface and other stack effects, so the counts reflect geometry after modifiers rather than just the base mesh. That helps when a light base mesh becomes heavy once its full modifier stack is evaluated.

How does the polygon budget system in Poly Finder work?

Poly Finder's polygon budget system lets you set a polygon limit per object and then instantly find everything that exceeds it. A single click selects all the offenders at once, so you can act on them together. From there, the batch optimization tools can remove Subdivision Surface modifiers in bulk, add Decimate modifiers with a custom ratio, and apply all decimates at once, which brings several over-budget objects back within target without editing them one at a time.

Is Poly Finder free to download?

Poly Finder is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing can change over time, so check Oculis Studio's page for the current terms before downloading. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license, which is standard for Blender add-ons. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing or licensing details, the developer's page is the best place to confirm before you install it.
