The Inspector earns its place in the superhive library by putting Geometry Node values on screen at the nodes themselves, with per-output display and coverage of 92% of nodes.
The Inspector is a Blender add-on by Polygoningenieur (Gustav Hahn) that shows Geometry Node values directly in the node editor. Values are displayed at the nodes and update on changes. When a node has a single output, its value appears above the node; when a node has multiple outputs, each connected output shows its own value. This behaviour also applies to reroutes and group nodes.
It reads both geometry node fields and regular single values, and can display many types: Geometry, Meshes, Curves, Points, Instances, Floats, Integers, Booleans, Vectors, Rotations and Colors. The add-on can also animate node values over time as they change, such as a #frame driver on playback. A set of settings covers update frequency, whether values show on reroutes, hidden nodes or only selected nodes, and whether values update during playback.
The Inspector currently supports 92% of nodes. It's compatible with Blender versions 4.2 to 4.3, distributed as an add-on under the GPL license, and its creator is a Blender Development Fund contributor. Documentation is available, and a demo video is also available.
The Inspector is best for blender users working with Geometry Nodes who want to see evaluated node values, fields and single values directly in the node editor.
The Inspector is completely free to download and use.
The Inspector lists compatibility with Blender versions 4.2 to 4.3 and is marked as a Blender Extension-compatible add-on. It's distributed as an add-on under the GPL license, and its developer, Polygoningenieur, is a Blender Development Fund contributor. The add-on currently supports 92% of nodes. If you run a version outside that 4.2 to 4.3 range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, since support can shift with new releases.
The Inspector can display a wide range of Geometry Node value types directly in the editor, including Geometry, Meshes, Curves, Points and Instances, along with Floats, Integers, Booleans, Vectors, Rotations and Colors. It handles both geometry node fields and regular single values, so the values appear right at the relevant nodes. Coverage currently extends to 92% of nodes, meaning most nodes can be inspected, though a small share fall outside that range.
The Inspector updates node values on changes and can animate them over time when they change, for example when a #frame driver runs during playback. Its settings let you decide whether values update on playback or not, and you can also adjust the update frequency. Additional options control whether values show on reroutes, on hidden nodes, or only on selected nodes, giving you control over how much information appears in the node editor at once.
The Inspector is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's distributed as a Blender add-on under the GPL license by Polygoningenieur. For current licensing terms and any purchase options, check the developer's page directly, since those details can change over time. The add-on is also marked as Blender Extension compatible and its creator is a Blender Development Fund contributor, which may be relevant if you're deciding how to obtain and use it.
