Why we like it

Virtual And Remote Numpad earns its place in the superhive library by addressing a specific gap: it gives setups without a physical numpad the same one-click view navigation, either from Blender's N-panel or a phone, tablet, or browser on the same network.

What is Virtual And Remote Numpad?

Virtual And Remote Numpad is a Blender addon that places a virtual numpad in the N-panel side panel, giving you one-click view navigation. It's built for laptop users and anyone working without a physical numpad.

Beyond the in-app panel, the addon can start a lightweight local server that opens a responsive web numpad on any device on the same network, so a smartphone, tablet, or browser can drive viewport navigation. It supports the standard numpad functions, including Top, Front, Right, Camera, and Perspective/Orthographic, and uses a clean Blender-style interface optimized for desktop and mobile use.

Virtual And Remote Numpad works with Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5 and is released under the GPL license. Cycles is listed as the render engine used. For questions, suggestions, or feedback, the developer invites users to get in touch through their page.

Frequently asked questions

Does Virtual And Remote Numpad work with Blender 4.5?

Virtual And Remote Numpad supports Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5, so recent releases in that range are covered. The addon adds its numpad to the N-panel side panel, where you get one-click view navigation without a physical numpad. If you run a Blender version outside that range, check the developer's page for details before installing, since compatibility beyond 4.5 isn't stated here.

What devices can control the numpad remotely with Virtual And Remote Numpad?

Virtual And Remote Numpad lets you control viewport navigation from a smartphone, tablet, or browser, as long as the device is on the same network as your machine. You start a lightweight local server from the addon, which opens a responsive web numpad on that device. The web interface uses a clean Blender-style design optimized for both desktop and mobile use, so the layout suits whatever screen you connect from.

Is Virtual And Remote Numpad free?

Virtual And Remote Numpad is listed as free in this catalog, and it's released under the GPL license. For current licensing terms or any changes to how it's distributed, check the developer's page directly. The addon itself brings a virtual numpad to Blender's N-panel for one-click view navigation and lets you control viewport navigation remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or browser on the same network. It works with Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5.

What view functions does Virtual And Remote Numpad support?

Virtual And Remote Numpad supports the standard numpad view functions, including Top, Front, Right, Camera, and Perspective/Orthographic toggling, among others. These are available both from the N-panel numpad inside Blender and from the remote web numpad you open on a phone, tablet, or browser. This mirrors the view controls a physical numpad normally handles, which makes it useful on laptops and keyboards that lack a dedicated numeric pad.
