A GPL-licensed add-on from 5 Minutes Blender that includes documentation and a video tutorial, plus email and YouTube support for questions and bug reports.
Wrap In Plastic is an add-on for Blender that applies a plastic cover to a selected object. The plastic has a transparent look, and three properties can be adjusted to shape the result: subdivision levels for smoothness, wrap thickness, and a color tint. Because the cover is transparent, the tint you choose appears as a light shade rather than the exact color.
Wrapping works on the active selection. To wrap several objects together, you join them into a single object first, then apply the add-on to that joined object. The developer suggests duplicating the objects, joining the copies, and hiding the originals. Higher subdivision levels produce a smoother cover, with values around 5 or 6 noted for the best result.
The add-on works with Blender-Internal, Cycles and Eevee render engines and is Blender Extension compatible. Documentation is included, and a video tutorial covers the functions and options. Support and bug reporting are available by email or through the developer's YouTube channel.
Wrap In Plastic is best for blender users who want to add a customizable plastic cover to objects.
Wrap In Plastic is completely free to download and use.
Wrap In Plastic lists support for Blender versions 3.4 through 5.0, and it is marked as Blender Extension compatible. The add-on works with the Blender-Internal, Cycles and Eevee render engines, so you can use it across those setups. If you run a version outside the stated range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, as support can change with newer add-on releases.
Wrap In Plastic works on the active selection, so wrapping multiple objects requires joining them into one object first. The developer recommends creating duplicate objects, joining those duplicates together, and hiding the originals. You then select the joined object and apply the add-on to wrap it in plastic. If you select several separate objects without joining, only the active selection will be wrapped.
Wrap In Plastic uses a subdivision levels field to control the smoothness of the plastic cover. A higher number produces a smoother cover, and the developer notes that a value around 5 or 6 gives the best result. Alongside subdivision, you can adjust the wrap thickness and a color tint. Note that the plastic has a transparent look, so the tint appears as a light shade rather than the exact color you select.
Wrap In Plastic is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, refer to the developer's page. The add-on comes from 5 Minutes Blender, includes documentation and a video tutorial, and offers support through email or the developer's YouTube channel for questions and bug reporting.
