Shape Shifter earns its place in the Superhive library for a focused job: keeping Shape Key management and object-to-object transfer in one panel. Its support stretches across Blender's 2.8 through 4.2 releases.
Shape Shifter is a Blender add-on from Tri-vima Studio built around Shape Key operations. It gathers Shape Key controls into a single panel, keeping the relevant settings in one place instead of spread across separate menus.
Beyond management, the add-on copies Shape Keys from one object to another in a few clicks. Documentation is included to help you get set up, and the developer has said more updates are planned over time. A demo video is available on YouTube.
Shape Shifter covers a wide range of Blender versions, spanning the 2.8 series through the 3.x releases and up to 4.2, so it fits both older and current installs. It's distributed under a royalty-free license. For current licensing terms and any features added since release, check the developer's page on Superhive.
Shape Shifter: Awesome Shape Shifting With Blender Addon is best for blender users working with Shape Keys who want the controls in one panel and a way to copy them between objects.
Shape Shifter: Awesome Shape Shifting With Blender Addon is completely free to download and use.
Shape Shifter lists compatibility with Blender 4.2, along with 4.1 and 4.0. Its support also reaches back through the 3.x line — 3.6 down to 3.0 — and the full 2.8 series, including 2.93, 2.83 and 2.82. That range covers both current installs and older projects still running earlier builds. If you're on a version outside this list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Shape Shifter is distributed under a royalty-free license, and in this catalog it's listed as free. Royalty-free generally means you can use the add-on in your work without ongoing fees, though the exact terms sit with the developer. For the current licensing details, pricing, and any conditions on commercial use, check Tri-vima Studio's page on Superhive before you rely on it for a paid project.
Shape Shifter copies Shape Keys from one object to another in a few clicks, which is one of its two main functions. The other is management: it gathers Shape Key controls into a single panel rather than leaving them spread across separate menus. Together, these cover the everyday handling of Shape Keys in Blender. Documentation is included with the add-on to help you get started with both.
Shape Shifter has a demo video available on YouTube, linked from its page. The add-on also ships with documentation, giving you written reference material once it's installed. Between the two, you can look over the tool before committing and then refer back to the docs while working. For the video link and the documentation, visit Tri-vima Studio's page on Superhive, which also lists the supported Blender versions.
