Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library for doing one thing simply: dropping a checker material onto a model with a single click and toggling it back with no leftover nodes.

What is Uv Checker?

UV Checker applies a UV checker material to your models inside Blender so you can catch stretching, distortion, and tiling problems in seconds. A single click puts a high-contrast, resolution-independent checker pattern on your selected object, giving you instant feedback while modeling, unwrapping, or preparing assets for texturing.

The add-on is fully non-destructive: your original materials stay untouched, and you can toggle back to them at any time. It stays lightweight with no extra nodes, and works across Eevee, Cycles, and solid view with material preview. A customizable pattern scale lets you control checker density to match your model's scale and detail needs.

UV Checker is also bundled in the Azerilo Smart Tools package, where it ships alongside seven other add-ons at a discount. On its own, it stays focused on one job: providing a clear, fast UV check without setup.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does UV Checker support?

UV Checker lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.6 through 5.0, so it covers a wide span of recent and current releases. It uses the Cycles and Eevee render engines, and it also functions in solid view with material preview enabled. If you're on a Blender release inside that range, the add-on should apply its checker material without extra configuration. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.

Does UV Checker change my existing materials?

UV Checker is fully non-destructive, which means your original materials remain untouched when you apply the checker pattern. It assigns a high-contrast checker material to your selected object for inspection, and you can toggle back to your original materials at any time. Nothing gets overwritten in the process, so you can move between the checker view and your real materials as often as you need while modeling, unwrapping, or texturing.

Does UV Checker work in solid viewport view?

UV Checker is optimized for all viewport modes, so it works in Eevee, Cycles, and even solid view with material preview turned on. The checker pattern is high-contrast and resolution-independent, giving you a clear read on stretching, distortion, and tiling regardless of the shading mode you prefer. This means you can inspect UVs in whichever shading mode you already use, from a full render engine to solid view.

Can I adjust the checker density in UV Checker?

UV Checker includes a customizable pattern scale, letting you control the checker density to suit your model's scale and detail needs. Larger models or finer surfaces may call for a different density to read clearly, and this control lets you tune it directly. Combined with the resolution-independent pattern, it keeps the checker readable across different object sizes so you can spot stretching and tiling accurately at whatever scale you're working.

Is UV Checker free?

UV Checker is listed as free in this catalog, though pricing and licensing can change over time. The add-on is released under the GPL license. It is also included in the Azerilo Smart Tools package, which bundles it with seven other add-ons at a discount. For current terms, coupons, or the standalone offer, check the developer's page before you download.
