REV Opacity Cutout stands out in the superhive library for pairing mask-to-geometry cutouts with foliage vertex painting in a single add-on, and it keeps your source mesh intact by working on a duplicate.
REV Opacity Cutout is a Blender add-on that generates cutout geometry directly from texture masks, aimed at foliage, leaves, moss, branch cards, decals, and similar assets. For flat cards you can use fast planar cutouts, while curved or more complex meshes can switch to 3D modes that preserve the surface flow more accurately.
The add-on is built with Unreal Engine 5 workflows in mind and Nanite-friendly output, and it is described as practical for general real-time vegetation work and SpeedTree-style asset preparation. Built-in quality presets help you reach solid results quickly, and advanced controls let you refine contour cleanup and triangulation when needed.
REV Opacity Cutout also includes integrated foliage vertex painter tools for wind and vegetation workflows. Your original source mesh stays untouched because the add-on works on a duplicate, and dependencies can be installed directly from the panel with one click. It supports Blender 4.2 through 5.1, works with Cycles and Eevee, and is distributed under the GPL license.
Rev Opacity Cutout is best for artists preparing foliage, leaves, decals, and branch cards for real-time vegetation and Unreal Engine 5 workflows.
Rev Opacity Cutout is completely free to download and use.
REV Opacity Cutout supports Blender versions 4.2 through 5.1 and is marked Blender Extension compatible. It works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines, so it fits into either rendering setup. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license. If you are running a version inside that range, you should be able to install and use it; for anything outside 4.2 to 5.1, check the developer's page to confirm current support before relying on it.
REV Opacity Cutout is built with Unreal Engine 5 workflows in mind and aims for Nanite-friendly output. Beyond UE5, it is described as practical for general real-time vegetation work and SpeedTree-style asset preparation. For flat cards you can use fast planar cutouts, and for curved or more complex meshes you can switch to 3D modes that preserve the surface flow more accurately.
REV Opacity Cutout leaves your original source mesh untouched, since it works on a duplicate rather than editing the original directly. It also includes integrated foliage vertex painter tools for wind and vegetation workflows, and any required dependencies can be installed straight from the add-on's panel with one click. Built-in quality presets help you reach solid results quickly, while advanced controls let you refine contour cleanup and triangulation when a cutout needs more attention.
REV Opacity Cutout is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details on pricing, permissions, and usage rights it is best to check the developer's page directly. The add-on is also noted as Blender Extension compatible, which relates to how it is packaged and installed within recent Blender releases.
