Why we like it

Vertex Reader earns its place in the Superhive library as a focused utility: it puts per-object vertex and face counts into one ranked list and lets you jump straight to those objects.

What is Vertex Reader?

Vertex Reader is an addon for Blender that generates a list of the objects in your scene ordered by vertex and face count, from highest to lowest. Rather than selecting each object individually and tabbing into edit mode to check its geometry, you view the counts for meshes, curves, and text in one place.

The list is interactive: you can select objects directly from it without searching through your scene collection. Vertex Reader is meant to help save time and reduce lag by making it easier to see which objects carry the most vertices and faces. Documentation covers how to use the addon, how it calculates counts for different objects such as meshes and curves, and how to install it, and a companion video is also available.

This is the initial version (1.0), and it works with Blender version 3.0 and higher. The addon is distributed under the GPL license. Additional important information is noted in the documentation, which the developer recommends checking before use.

Who is Vertex Reader best for?

Vertex Reader is best for blender users who want to identify which objects hold the most vertices and faces in a scene and select them from a single list.

How much does Vertex Reader cost?

Vertex Reader is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Vertex Reader support?

Vertex Reader is built for Blender version 3.0 and higher, and it is listed as compatible with Blender 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. This current release is the initial version, 1.0. If you are running a build below 3.0, the addon is not intended to work with it. For the fullest picture of behaviour across versions, the developer's documentation and how-to video walk through installation and use in detail.

What object types does Vertex Reader count?

Vertex Reader shows the amount of vertices and faces for objects in your scene, including meshes, curves, and text, presented in a list ordered from highest to lowest. The developer's documentation explains how the addon calculates counts for different objects, such as meshes and curves, so it is worth reading before you rely on the numbers. Beyond displaying the counts, the list lets you select objects directly, so you do not have to search through the scene collection to reach them.

How do I install and learn to use Vertex Reader?

Vertex Reader comes with documentation available as both a written guide and a video. Together they cover how to install the addon, how to use it, and how it calculates counts for different objects such as meshes and curves. The documentation also includes extra notes with important information about the addon, which the developer recommends checking. If bugs come up or you have questions, the developer asks that you reach out directly through Blender Market.

Is Vertex Reader free to use?

Vertex Reader is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under the GPL license, and licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon is published by 3D Render Guru, and questions or bug reports can be sent directly to the developer through Blender Market. This release is version 1.0, the initial version of the addon.
