Why we like it

Poly Hunter earns its place in the superhive library by reducing poly-count inspection to a single viewport toggle. It's narrow by design — one Predator View that lists counts and applies weight colors — and it arrives as an early piece of the broader JunoTools set, so treat it as a focused optimization helper rather than a full toolkit.

What is Poly Hunter?

Poly Hunter is a Blender addon from Juno Mars 3D built around a single feature called Predator View. Toggle it in the JunoTools N panel and the viewport fills in with a comprehensive list of poly counts, while your objects are colored using familiar weight colors. The result is a quick read on which meshes are the high-poly targets worth optimizing.

The addon is one part of a larger collection called JunoTools, a package still under development that gathers smaller tools for various modeling and file optimization and organization workflows. Its stated goal is to save hours of clicks on tasks you find yourself repeating every day.

Poly Hunter supports Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5 and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available. The developer welcomes reports of unexpected problems as well as suggestions for features that would help your workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does Poly Hunter work with Blender 4.5?

Poly Hunter is listed for Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5, so 4.5 falls inside its supported range. It runs from the JunoTools N panel in Blender's viewport, where a single toggle called Predator View switches on the poly-count display and the color coding. If you're on a build outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing so you know what to expect.

How do I turn on Predator View in Poly Hunter?

Poly Hunter adds a toggle called Predator View to the JunoTools N panel. Switching it on shows a comprehensive list of poly counts in the viewport and colors your objects using familiar weight colors, so you can quickly pick out the target high-poly meshes for optimization. Documentation is included with the addon, and a demo video is available if you'd like to see it covered further.

Is Poly Hunter free to use?

Poly Hunter is listed as free here in our catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, it's best to check the developer's page for current pricing before you rely on it. Poly Hunter is also described as one part of a larger collection called JunoTools from Juno Mars 3D, a package still under development that bundles smaller tools aimed at various modeling and file optimization and organization workflows.

What license is Poly Hunter released under?

Poly Hunter is released under the GPL license. Beyond the addon itself, the developer notes that reports of unexpected problems and requests for helpful features are welcome, since JunoTools remains under development.
