Ringarray earns its place in the superhive library by collapsing a multi-step array setup into a single click, while still keeping a tweak menu on hand for finer control.
Qol Tools: Ringarray creates circular arrays from any source object, light or camera in Blender. Rather than manually copying objects, setting the pivot and working out the angle math, or stacking a linear array modifier with a curve modifier, the add-on builds an array with a single click. The result is linked duplicates rather than bent objects. It's available in the Blender 4.2 Extension format.
The interface is divided into three sections. The main section is where you enter values, and it remembers those settings for future arrays in the current Blender session. The tweak section covers the translational adjustments available to the current options. The options section lets you set arrays up in your preferred workflow, whether that's linked object arrays or single mesh output.
Those options can also be set in the add-on preferences so they carry over between sessions. Ringarray is released under the GPL license and supports Blender versions from 3.0 through 4.2. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
Qol Tools: Ringarray is best for blender artists building circular arrays of objects, lights or cameras who want a single-click alternative to manual copying or stacked modifier setups.
Qol Tools: Ringarray is completely free to download and use.
Qol Tools: Ringarray supports Blender versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2, so it covers a wide span of releases. It's also available in the Blender 4.2 Extension format and is listed as Blender Extension compatible. That range means you can run it on older projects still tied to a 3.x build as well as on current 4.x versions. For the most up-to-date compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.
Qol Tools: Ringarray creates circular arrays as linked duplicates rather than bending the source object, which is what you'd often end up with when combining a linear array modifier with a curve modifier. The options section also lets you choose between linked object arrays and single mesh output depending on your workflow. You can set your preference per array in the tweak menu, or store it in the add-on preferences so it applies to future arrays. The whole array is generated from a single click.
Qol Tools: Ringarray keeps your values in the main part of its tweak menu, and it remembers those settings for any future arrays you create in the current Blender session. The options that control your preferred workflow can also be set in the add-on preferences, which means they're maintained between sessions rather than reset each time you open Blender. This split lets you enter values quickly for one array while keeping your broader workflow choices consistent across your work.
Qol Tools: Ringarray is listed as free here in our catalog, and it's released under the GPL license. It's also offered by the developer as part of the QOL Tools: Full Collection package alongside other add-ons. Licensing and any pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The GPL license governs how the add-on's code can be used, modified and shared, which is worth reviewing if you plan to redistribute it.
