Why we like it

Styriam Toolty stands out in the Superhive library because it bundles several separate Blender chores — parenting, rigid body keyframing and compositor output management — behind single-click buttons in one viewport panel.

What is Styriam Toolty?

Styriam Toolty is a collection of simple-to-use tools for Blender focused on increasing productivity in areas like animation, simulation and lighting. Every tool except Isolate Light lives in the Styriam viewport properties panel, keeping the add-on's utilities together in one place.

Picker handles dynamic parenting: select two objects and a single button click generates all the constraints and keyframes, with meshes, cameras, lights, empties and bones eligible as selections. Rigid Body Helpers let you select shards, add rigid body simulation and keyframe their kinematic property or visibility. Output Helpers manage the compositor File Output node, generating layer names and converting File Output to an Image node for multilayer EXR while preserving connections. Quick Cache inserts a cache node after a selected node and bakes a still or animated cache.

Recent releases added Blender 5 support, the ability to run compositing nodes across a scene's frame range, and Scan Utils and UV Utils sets. Purchasing the add-on includes access to future updates. A demo video is available.

Who is Styriam Toolty best for?

Styriam Toolty is best for blender artists working across animation, simulation and lighting who want repetitive tasks reduced to button clicks.

How much does Styriam Toolty cost?

Styriam Toolty is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Styriam Toolty support Blender 5?

Styriam Toolty added Blender 5 support in version 1.2.4, and version 1.2.3 introduced support for Blender 4.0 and 4.1. Later fixes addressed keyframe jumping in the Picker Parenting Panel following API updates for newer Blender releases, along with a problem baking Quick Cache. Purchasing the add-on includes access to future updates, so ongoing compatibility work reaches existing users. For the exact list of supported builds, check the developer's page before installing.

Where do Styriam Toolty's tools appear in Blender?

Styriam Toolty places all of its tools, with the exception of Isolate Light, in the Styriam viewport properties panel. From there you reach helpers such as Picker for dynamic parenting, Rigid Body Helpers, Output Helpers for the compositor File Output node, and Quick Cache. Isolate Light sits outside that panel. Grouping most of the tools in one place keeps the animation, simulation and lighting utilities accessible within the viewport.

Is Styriam Toolty free to use?

Styriam Toolty is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. The developer's own material notes that buying the add-on grants access to future updates, so licensing terms may differ on their store. For current pricing and full license details, check the developer's page directly before relying on any particular arrangement. Listing status can change over time, so confirming at the source is the safest step.

How does Styriam Toolty's Picker handle parenting?

Styriam Toolty's Picker manages dynamic parenting: select two objects — the first is picked up, the second is the grabber — and one button click generates all the necessary constraints and keyframes. Meshes, cameras, lights, empties and bones can be selected, and choosing an armature converts the selection to its active bone. With only one object selected, Picker finds the active constraint and inserts the keyframes needed to detach the object from its handler.
