Earns its place in the superhive library by handling something Blender doesn't do natively, giving shape keys a folder structure, and folding in Split Keys for grouping related keys together.
Blender doesn't natively let you give shape keys a folder structure, which turns long shape key lists into a chore to navigate. Shape Key Collections adds a management system for organizing shape keys into folders and subfolders. You can rename shape keys and control which folder or subfolder each one sits in, with subfolders available for further tidiness.
The Split Keys feature lets you put together up to three shape keys and display each value in one place, grouping related keys for easier management and control over your mesh. One example is assigning the left and right eyebrow as the first two shape keys, with a third that drives both together.
Shape Key Collections is included in the full version of the developer's Master Shape Keys addon. It's released under the GPL license and supports Blender versions 2.83 through 5.0. Inlet also offers companion products that bring the same folder-structure approach to vertex group management and Grease Pencil layers.
Shape Key Collections is best for blender users organizing large shape key lists into folders and subfolders, and grouping related keys such as left and right facial controls.
Shape Key Collections is completely free to download and use.
Shape Key Collections supports Blender versions 2.83 through 5.0, so it spans a wide range of releases from older projects to current ones. That means you can bring folder-structured shape key management to files created across many Blender versions. If you're on a version within that window, the folder and subfolder organization, renaming, and Split Keys functionality are all available. For the current version and any version-specific notes, check the developer's page before installing.
Shape Key Collections is released under the GPL license, as noted in the listing. That covers how you can use, modify, and share the addon under the terms of the GPL, and it applies to the addon code as listed. Licensing details tied to the actual purchase or download can vary by store, so it's worth reviewing the terms on the developer's page before you install it.
Shape Key Collections is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and any purchase terms can change over time and may differ on the developer's own store, so check the developer's page for the current details before downloading. It's worth noting that this addon is also bundled inside the full version of the developer's Master Shape Keys addon, which is a separate product if you want the complete toolset rather than the standalone version.
Shape Key Collections is included in the full version of the developer's Master Shape Keys addon, so if you own that product you already have this folder management system. As a standalone addon, Shape Key Collections focuses on organizing shape keys into folders and subfolders, renaming them, and the Split Keys feature. Inlet also makes related addons that apply the same folder-structure approach to vertex groups and Grease Pencil layers, listed on the developer's page.
