Why we like it

Tickertools earns its place in the superhive library by packaging 10 editable text-animation styles alongside pre-built scenes and custom fonts, all adjustable from Blender's sidebar.

What is Tickertools?

Tickertools is a Blender add-on from Layerform focused on clean, editable text animation without complicated setups. It includes 10 ticker styles: number counters, per-digit displays, timers, percentages, currency, slot-style word reveals, typewriter effects, countdowns, stepped values, and sequential pop numbers.

Each tool is built to be quick to set up and simple to customize inside Blender's sidebar. You can control values, timing, formatting, text bevel, and extrusion without working through complex rigs or node setups. The styles suit motion graphics, UI mockups, promos, social posts, and video projects.

As a bonus, the add-on ships with 6 pre-built, lit animated scenes and 10 fonts made by the developer. It works with Blender 5.0 to 5.1, is listed as compatible as a Blender extension, renders in both Cycles and Eevee, and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Tickertools support?

Tickertools works with Blender 5.0 to 5.1 and is listed as compatible as a Blender extension. It is provided as an add-on, and you access its ticker styles and controls from Blender's sidebar. Because it targets these specific versions, users on other Blender releases should confirm compatibility on the developer's page before relying on it. The add-on renders in both Cycles and Eevee, so it fits projects built around either engine.

Which render engines does Tickertools work with?

Tickertools lists support for both Cycles and Eevee, so you can use whichever engine your project relies on without switching tools. Its text styles include controls for bevel and extrusion. If your setup depends on a different engine, confirm compatibility on the developer's page before building a project around the add-on. Otherwise, both supported engines cover the styles the add-on produces.

What license is Tickertools released under?

Tickertools is released under the GPL license, an open-source license commonly used in the Blender ecosystem. The license shown here applies to the add-on as distributed. For details on what it permits for your use, along with any terms tied to the bundled fonts and pre-built scenes, refer to the developer's page, which is the best source for the current licensing terms.

Is Tickertools free to download?

Tickertools is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading. The add-on comes bundled with extra content, including 6 pre-built, lit animated scenes and 10 fonts made by the developer, all under the same listing. It is released under the GPL license, which the developer's page can clarify for your specific use.

What comes bundled with Tickertools?

Tickertools bundles more than the ticker styles: it comes with 6 pre-built, lit animated scenes and 10 fonts created by the developer. The 10 ticker styles themselves cover number counters, per-digit displays, timers, percentages, currency, slot-style word reveals, typewriter effects, countdowns, stepped values, and sequential pop numbers. Documentation is also included, and a demo video is available for anyone who wants to see the add-on before downloading.
