Why we like it

Quick Math Nodes earns its place in the Superhive library for a focused job: adding Math and Vector Math nodes through operators in Blender's Node Editor, with each operation ready to select.

What is Quick Math Nodes?

Quick Math Nodes, also called QuickMath, is a Blender add-on that streamlines the creation of Math and Vector Math nodes in the Shader and Geometry Node Editors. Rather than searching through the add menu, you use dedicated operators to insert the node you need with the operation already set.

For Math nodes, the add-on covers basic arithmetic such as Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide, trigonometric functions including Sine, Cosine and Tangent, and more advanced functions like Power, Logarithm and Modulo. Math nodes are only added in compatible node trees, either ShaderNodeTree or GeometryNodeTree. For Vector Math nodes, you can pick a specific operation without navigating menus, spanning basic arithmetic and Multiply Add, vector-specific operations like Cross Product, Dot Product, Normalize, Length and Distance, transformations such as Scale, Floor, Ceil, Fraction, Modulo, Wrap and Snap, and comparisons like Minimum and Maximum.

The operators for adding both node types are available within the Node Editor. The add-on is designed to reduce time spent searching for nodes, making a node-based workflow more efficient.

Who is Quick Math Nodes best for?

Quick Math Nodes is best for blender artists building node setups in the Shader and Geometry Node Editors who want to insert Math and Vector Math nodes without searching the add menu.

How much does Quick Math Nodes cost?

Quick Math Nodes is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender node editors does Quick Math Nodes work in?

Quick Math Nodes operates in Blender's Shader and Geometry Node Editors. Its operators for adding Math and Vector Math nodes are available within the Node Editor, so you can insert them directly while building a setup. The Math Node operator ensures nodes are only added in compatible node trees, specifically ShaderNodeTree or GeometryNodeTree, which are the two editor contexts the add-on is built to support.

What Blender version does Quick Math Nodes support?

Quick Math Nodes lists Blender version 4.3 and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. It is distributed as an Add-on type extension. If you are running a different Blender release, check the developer's page for the current compatibility details before installing, since the listed version reflects what the creator has published rather than a guarantee for every build. The add-on was published over a year ago at the time of this listing.

Is Quick Math Nodes free, and what license does it use?

Quick Math Nodes is listed as free here in our catalog, and it is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms and pricing can change over time, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is provided as a Blender extension of the Add-on type, created by shigeru ozawa, and you can find more information and any updates through the creator's official listing.
