Why we like it

Scifi Hud Addon earns its place in the superhive library by pairing over 160 sci-fi elements with an Element Animation Panel and glow materials, and it also works alongside the developer's Quake Motion Camera plugin.

What is Scifi Hud Addon?

Scifi Hud Addon is a Blender addon from EdenWeby 3D for building sci-fi HUD interfaces. It ships with over 160 elements in total, more than 100 elements, 40 props and 20 premade HUD layouts, so you can assemble a combination from scratch or start from a ready-made design. A material editor handles the glow effect, and the addon is compatible with both Eevee and Cycles; the Cycles glare filter can be used for bloom.

Animation runs through the Element Animation Panel with three modes. Constant animates a rotation that does not stop, with a reverse option for direction and an axis setting for the rotation channel. Function animates rotation or location back and forth along an axis, where amplitude sets how far it travels and period sets the timing, like a sine wave. Reveal brings an element from hidden to visible using the build modifier.

Material settings include a Noise Value for the amount of noise in the glow, and the glow strength ships with a default flicker animation you can clear. The addon is released under the GPL license and works alongside the developer's Quake Motion Camera plugin.

Frequently asked questions

Does Scifi Hud Addon work with Blender 2.9 through 3.5?

Scifi Hud Addon supports Blender versions 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, covering a wide span from the 2.9 series through 3.5. If you are running one of those releases you should be able to install and use it. For versions newer than 3.5, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since that range reflects what is currently listed.

Does Scifi Hud Addon work with both Eevee and Cycles?

Scifi Hud Addon is compatible with both Eevee and Cycles, so you can render sci-fi HUDs in either engine. The material editor handles the glow effect. For bloom specifically, the Cycles glare filter can be used to create it. That means the glow materials are set up to work across both render paths, letting you choose the engine that fits your scene rather than being tied to a single one.

How do I animate elements in Scifi Hud Addon?

Scifi Hud Addon animates elements through its Element Animation Panel, which offers three modes. Constant runs a rotation that does not stop, with a reverse option to flip direction and an axis setting to choose the rotation channel. Function moves rotation or location back and forth along an axis, where amplitude controls how far it travels and period controls the timing, similar to a sine wave. Reveal takes an element from hidden to visible using the build modifier.

Is Scifi Hud Addon free, and what license is it under?

Scifi Hud Addon is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, check the developer's page, since availability can change over time. The GPL license governs how the addon can be used and redistributed, so review it if that matters for your project or studio workflow before you rely on the addon in production.
