Wireless earns its place in the Superhive library as an add-on focused specifically on turning curves into cables, with community-driven expansion of its cable and connector range.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy is a Blender add-on by Alex Saplacan for quickly turning a curve into a cable. It currently includes twelve popular cable types, covering a variety of electrical, audiovisual and computer cables that are just a click away. A Beta version is also available in Blender 2.8 with the same functionality.
The add-on is aimed at modeling for product visualization, archviz, engineering or animation, where it can help enhance the photorealism of a project and speed up delivery. One of the most requested community features, the ability to add your own custom parts for both cables and plugs, is now possible, giving flexibility to reuse existing assets.
Development continues in collaboration with the community to expand the range of cables and connectors. The roadmap includes new libraries released periodically and improved material management, with the goal of keeping the workflow simple as the available range grows. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy is best for blender artists working on product visualization, archviz, engineering or animation who need cabling elements.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy is completely free to download and use.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy lists support for Blender 2.7x, 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91 and 2.92. It is also available in 2.8 as a Beta version that carries the same functionality as the main release. If you work across several Blender versions, this range covers both the 2.7x and 2.8/2.9 series, so check that your specific version appears in the list before installing to confirm compatibility with your setup.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy supports adding your own custom parts for both cables and plugs. This was one of the most requested features from the community, and it gives flexibility to reuse existing assets within the workflow. Alongside the twelve built-in cable types covering electrical, audiovisual and computer cables, this custom-parts capability lets you extend the range beyond what ships with the add-on to suit your own scenes and projects.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under a Creative Commons license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details it is best to check the developer's page directly. The listing also notes the creator is a Dev Fund Contributor. Reviewing the developer's page will give you the definitive picture of how the add-on may be used and shared.
Wireless Addon - Cables Made Easy is being developed further in collaboration with the community. The roadmap includes new libraries released periodically and improved material management, both intended to keep the workflow simple as the available range of cables and connectors increases. The developer continues to work on expanding the range of cables and connectors over time, so the set of options available in the add-on is expected to grow beyond the current twelve cable types.
