Why we like it

SculptPie earns its place in the superhive library as a focused add-on: it trims the sculpting interface down to one 8-slot pie menu with rebindable keys and swappable brushes, built specifically for Blender 5.0.

What is Sculptpie?

SculptPie is a Blender add-on that gathers essential sculpting tools into a single 8-slot radial pie menu. Rather than moving through tabs, you reach your brushes and adjustments in one motion, keeping the interface compact while you work on the model.

The menu gives real-time control over a brush's radius, strength, and direction, so you can adjust as you block out large forms or refine finer detail. It also lets you switch between Object and Sculpt mode directly, so you can reposition a mesh or manage the scene from the same interface. Each of the eight slots is configurable through an integrated selection menu, letting you swap the brush on any slot when your project needs a different tool.

A dedicated preferences panel handles mapping your own shortcuts and fine-tuning how the menu behaves, and keys are rebindable while brush slots are swappable. SculptPie is built for Blender 5.0, the only version the developer has tested it on, and is distributed as a GPL-licensed extension with documentation available.

Who is Sculptpie best for?

Sculptpie is best for blender artists who sculpt and want their core brushes and brush adjustments reachable from a single radial menu.

Frequently asked questions

Does SculptPie work with Blender 5.0?

SculptPie is distributed as a Blender add-on and is listed as compatible with the Blender extension system. The developer notes it has not been tested on any version other than Blender 5.0, so that is the release it's confirmed to work with. If you're on an earlier or later Blender version, behaviour isn't guaranteed, so it's worth checking the developer's page for compatibility details before installing. Blender 5.0 is the version explicitly stated in the listing as the tested one.

What license is SculptPie released under?

SculptPie is released under the GPL license, as stated in its listing. For the precise terms governing how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on, consult the full GPL text along with the developer's page. The listing also marks SculptPie as Blender extension compatible and classifies it as an add-on. If licensing matters for your pipeline or a commercial project, reviewing the developer's page directly is the safest way to confirm the current terms.

Is SculptPie free to download?

SculptPie is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly before downloading. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license and is marked compatible with Blender's extension system. If you're evaluating it for a studio or commercial workflow, confirming the latest availability and license conditions on the developer's page avoids any surprises later on.

Can I customize the shortcuts and brushes in SculptPie?

SculptPie includes a dedicated preferences panel where you can map your own shortcuts and fine-tune the behaviour of the menu. Each of the eight slots is also configurable: using the integrated selection menu, you can swap the brush assigned to any slot, so you're not limited to a fixed set of eight. Keys are rebindable and brush slots are swappable, which lets you adapt the pie menu to your own muscle memory and working habits over time.
