Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve stands out in the blender_extensions library for keeping primitive, boolean, mirror, and curve operations inside Sculpt Mode. At only a few kilobytes it's a lightweight add-on, and it has passed 15,000 downloads.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is a Blender add-on from pixldg that brings mesh-building operations into Sculpt Mode. You can quickly add basic primitives, join objects, apply boolean operations, and set up mirrors without switching modes, and start sculpting any mesh or curve right away.
Beyond primitives, the add-on lets you clone a selected sculpture, add a Mirror modifier and apply it, and add a Boolean modifier that automatically hides the target object. It also creates editable curves that can be sent back to Sculpt Mode with a single click. Version 1.3.0 introduces a capsule primitive, adds a Multires modifier, moves operations into dropdown menus to free up space on the top bar, and changes cloned objects to use the center of the cloned object rather than the world origin.
It's compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Issues can be reported on the developer's GitHub page.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is best for blender sculptors who want to add primitives, clone, mirror, boolean, and work with editable curves without leaving Sculpt Mode.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is completely free to download and use.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it works on that release and later versions. If you're on an earlier build, update Blender before installing. The add-on can be added by dragging and dropping the downloaded file directly into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk through the extensions preferences. The download is small, only a few kilobytes, so setup is quick once you have a supported Blender version running.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve does not require any special permissions, so it doesn't request access beyond a standard Blender add-on. The extension itself is only a few kilobytes in size, which keeps its footprint minimal. If you run into problems, issues can be reported through the developer's GitHub page. Because it targets Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, make sure you're on a supported version before installing to avoid compatibility problems.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license governs how the add-on can be used, modified, and redistributed, and it applies to the full extension as published by pixldg. If you plan to modify or share the code, review the terms of the GPL v3.0 or later on the developer's page. Bug reports and issues can be filed through the linked GitHub repository.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve is listed as free here in the catalog. For current licensing and any distribution terms, check the developer's page, since the add-on is published under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The extension can be downloaded and added to Blender by dragging and dropping it in, or by installing from disk through the extensions preferences. It has been downloaded more than 15,000 times.
Sculpting Extra Meshes + Curve version 1.3.0 adds a new capsule primitive and a new Multires modifier. It also moves the add-on's operations into dropdown menus to free up space on the top bar. One fix changes cloned objects so they use the center of the cloned object as their center point, rather than the world origin as in earlier versions. This version targets Blender 4.2 LTS and newer.
