What is Vmdesk-Free?

Vmdesk-Free is an add-on for Blender that brings a virtual editor environment into the 3D Viewport. It supports interactive multi-purpose processing and lets you carry out workflows without leaving the viewport. The free edition includes a Settings Editor and a Modifier Editor, giving you a place to handle configuration and modifier work directly.

In the Modifier Editor you can move single or multiple modifiers, and the interface offers customization options including UI color and size. A companion Standard Version adds a Mesh Editor and Data-Block Preview beyond what the free build covers, so you can move up if you need those tools.

Documentation is available through a User Guide, and the add-on can be obtained via a GitHub download link. A demo video is also available. Vmdesk-Free is released under the GPL license and targets Blender versions 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2.
