Scifi Elements Addon earns its place in the superhive library for pairing a ready-made element library with a dedicated animation panel, and it holds a full 5-star rating across five reviews.
Scifi Elements Addon from EdenWeby 3D creates scifi HUDs, scifi environments and other VFX in Blender. It comes with 30+ elements plus premade combos. The addon is compatible with Eevee and Cycles, and Cycles users can apply the glare filter for bloom, backed by a material editor and a realistic glow effect.
Animation runs through the Element Animation Panel. Constant produces a rotation that does not stop, with a reverse option and an axis setting; Function moves rotation or location back and forth on the chosen axis, using amplitude for how far it travels and period for the timing, like a sine wave; Reveal takes an element from hidden to visible with the build modifier. Material settings include a Noise Value that changes the amount of noise in the glow, and glow strength ships with a flicker animation by default that you can clear.
The addon is offered in Basic, Pro and Ultimate editions with increasing presets, elements, assets and combos, and Pro and Ultimate add lightning effects along with assets that carry an alpha channel, such as progress bars. It also works with the developer's Quake Motion Camera plugin, and holds a 5-star rating from five reviews.
Scifi Elements Addon is best for blender artists building animated scifi HUDs, environments and effect elements.
Scifi Elements Addon is completely free to download and use.
Scifi Elements Addon is compatible with both Eevee and Cycles in Blender. If you render in Cycles, you can use the glare filter to add bloom to the elements. The addon includes a material editor and a realistic glow effect, and its material settings expose a Noise Value that changes the amount of noise in the glow, giving you control over how each element reads. Glow strength also comes with a flicker animation applied by default, which you can clear.
Scifi Elements Addon handles animation through its Element Animation Panel, which offers three modes. Constant creates a rotation that does not stop, with a reverse option to change direction and an axis setting to change the channel of rotation. Function moves rotation or location back and forth on the axis provided, where amplitude sets how far it travels and period sets the timing, taken as a sine wave. Reveal takes an element from hidden to visible using the build modifier.
Scifi Elements Addon is offered in three editions. Basic includes 40 presets, 30 elements, no assets, 10 combos and all functions. Pro steps up to 70 presets, 38 elements, 20 assets and 14 combos with electric and lightning effects. Ultimate offers 110+ presets, 60+ elements, 33+ assets, 22+ animated combos and advanced animation tools. Lightning strikes appear in the Pro and Ultimate editions, and assets with an alpha channel, such as progress bars, come with Pro and Ultimate.
Scifi Elements Addon is listed as free here in the catalog. The developer, EdenWeby 3D, offers it in Basic, Pro and Ultimate editions with different amounts of presets, elements, assets and combos, so licensing and current terms are best confirmed on the developer's page. Ultimate users receive free updates on elements, while Pro users receive updates on functionality. The addon also works alongside the developer's Quake Motion Camera plugin for adding realism to angle shots.
