Why we like it

This2That Suite earns its place in the superhive library for bundling several distinct workflow utilities under one manager that keeps the N-Panel uncluttered by showing only the modules you enable.

What is This2That Suite?

The This2That Suite for Blender is organized around a central manager and a collection of modules. Its core idea is to take one thing and change its state, hence 'This' to 'That'. You enable only the modules you use in the preferences, and you can show or hide individual tool panels directly in the 3D Viewport to keep the workspace tidy.

The suite currently includes three Free2Use modules. Location2Curve generates Bezier curves from object positions or animation data, with a live edit mode and motion paths built from keyframes. Material2Selection transfers materials from an active object or face to a selection and offers a full material library with shader ball previews. Object2View positions and orients objects in front of the viewport or active camera, with snapping, orientation modes, and one-click camera creation.

The Free2Use modules are complete utilities that should reach Blender's Extensions Library soon. Support2Develop modules add more advanced tools, and the manager lists every available module so you can see what the suite offers.

Who is This2That Suite best for?

This2That Suite is best for blender users who want a customizable, modular toolkit for generating curves, transferring materials, and positioning objects and cameras in the viewport.

How much does This2That Suite cost?

This2That Suite is completely free to download and use.

Key features

  • Modular manager that lets you enable only the modules you need in the preferences and show or hide individual tool panels directly in the 3D Viewport
  • Location2Curve generates Bezier curves from object positions or animation data, including a live edit mode that updates as tracked objects move and motion paths built from keyframes
  • Material2Selection transfers materials from an active object or face to a selection, plus a full material library with shader ball previews you can apply in one click
  • Object2View places objects with a distance slider, can snap them onto the first surface hit, and can align them to the surface normal
  • Orientation modes to keep an object's current rotation, match it to the view, or revert to its original orientation
  • Camera tools including one-click camera from the current view, shot and keyframe navigation, and keyframing of Focal Length or DOF Distance from the panel

Frequently asked questions

Is This2That Suite available through Blender's Extensions Library?

This2That Suite's Free2Use modules should become available through Blender's Extensions Library soon, according to the developer. Until then, you can follow the project's Discord server to be notified when that happens. The Free2Use modules are described as complete, fully functional utilities rather than limited demos, so they are meant to be usable in everyday work. For current availability and installation details, check the developer's page, since the release timing on the Extensions Library is framed as upcoming rather than confirmed.

What's the difference between Free2Use and Support2Develop modules in This2That Suite?

This2That Suite is built on two tiers of modules. The Free2Use modules form the foundation and are included in all versions as complete utilities, covering tools like Location2Curve, Material2Selection, and Object2View. The Support2Develop modules add more advanced tools aimed at more complex or specialized problems, and choosing the supporter version unlocks them while helping fund ongoing development and updates for new Blender releases. The manager panel lists all available modules, including the advanced supporter features, so you can see the full range the suite offers.

Is This2That Suite free?

This2That Suite is listed here as free. Its Free2Use modules come included in all versions and are described as complete utilities rather than limited demos, while the more advanced Support2Develop modules are tied to a supporter version. Because supporter tiers and licensing details can change over time, check the developer's page for the current terms before you rely on any specific arrangement. The developer frames supporter contributions as a way to fund continued development and keep modules updated with new Blender releases.

How does This2That Suite keep the N-Panel from getting cluttered?

This2That Suite keeps the workspace tidy by letting you enable only the modules you need in the addon preferences, so tools you don't use never appear. You can also show or hide individual tool panels directly in the 3D Viewport, giving you access to your chosen utilities without cluttering the interface. The manager acts as a central point that lists all available modules, so you can review what is on offer and turn features on or off as your workflow changes over time.

What can the Location2Curve module in This2That Suite do?

Location2Curve in This2That Suite generates Bezier curves from object positions or animation data. Its Create from Selected option connects a series of static objects, such as Empties or Meshes, into a single curve. A Live Edit modal mode updates the curve in real time as you move the tracked objects, and Motion Path from Keyframes builds a curve that visualizes an animated object's trajectory, updating if you change the animation. A Quick Curve Resolution utility lets you change the smoothness of any selected curve.
