Vertex Record earns its place in the superhive library by turning manual vertex space transformations into recordable script code, with a stated focus on virtual clothing.
Vertex Record is a Blender add-on that captures the spatial changes you make and turns them into script code. It targets complex and precise vertex space transformations, aiming to make them ordinary. The add-on was made for virtual clothing and for the endpoint of repeated spatial transformations.
The workflow centers on locking onto the main object and tapping the record button, which converts the latest vertex space transformation into code. That code can then affect another object. Vertex Record also includes Alignment Table Generation, described as a quick assistant for scaling and moving. When you select bone partitioning, the mesh will not distort or be affected even if it sits extremely close.
Vertex Record supports Blender versions 3.4 through 4.5 and runs with the Blender-Internal render engine. It is released under the GPL license. Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available.
Vertex Record is best for blender users working on virtual clothing and repeated vertex space transformations who want those changes recorded as script code.
Vertex Record is completely free to download and use.
Vertex Record lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.4 through 4.5, so it covers the 4.5 release along with earlier builds back to 3.4. It runs with the Blender-Internal render engine. If you use a Blender version outside that stated range, check the developer's page before installing to confirm it behaves as expected, since compatibility beyond the listed span isn't stated. Documentation is provided to help you get set up once the add-on is in place.

Vertex Record is released under the GPL license. GPL is a copyleft license, so it governs how the add-on can be used, modified, and shared. Vertex Record runs with the Blender-Internal render engine and supports Blender versions 3.4 through 4.5, and documentation is provided alongside it. For the exact terms that apply to your use, and any additional conditions the creator sets, refer to the developer's page.
Vertex Record is listed as free in our catalog, though licensing terms can change over time. The add-on is released under the GPL license, which covers how you can use, modify, and redistribute it. For current pricing and licensing details, check the developer's page before downloading, since what the creator offers directly may differ from what is shown in the catalog. Documentation is also provided alongside the add-on.
