Why we like it

Stands out in the Superhive library for bringing a SiWeightEditor-style spreadsheet weight workflow to Blender, including symmetry and cleanup tools in one window.

What is Yuzu Weight Editor?

Yuzu Weight Editor by Yuzurin displays vertex-group weights in a spreadsheet-style layout for Blender, letting you inspect and edit values numerically inside a dedicated editor. Vertex groups are separated into All, Deform, and Other tabs, and you can switch between selected-only display, full display, and viewport-linked display. Selection syncs with the 3D viewport, and vertices chosen in the sheet can be highlighted directly in the scene.

Beyond direct cell editing, the add-on supports copy and paste by cell, vertex, or object, mirror-paste based on a symmetry naming dictionary, and weight symmetry application. It can detect invalid weights, round values, normalize, and limit the maximum influence count per vertex. Cleanup tools delete unused vertex groups and add missing bone vertex groups when an armature has bones without matching groups.

The editor does not run purely inside Blender's standard UI. It opens a separate window built with PySide6, which can be installed from the add-on panel. The released add-on supports an English UI, and additional controls cover bone collection visibility, armature display, modifier visibility, and weight display.

Frequently asked questions

Does Yuzu Weight Editor work with Blender 5.0?

Yuzu Weight Editor lists Blender 4.2 LTS and Blender 5.0 as its requirements, so both versions are supported. Note that the add-on does not run purely inside Blender's standard UI. It opens a separate editor window built with PySide6 rather than living entirely within Blender's native panels. If you run one of these Blender versions, the add-on and its spreadsheet-style editor are designed to operate accordingly. Check the developer's page for any further details before installing.

Does Yuzu Weight Editor need PySide6 installed?

Yuzu Weight Editor uses PySide6 to build its separate editor window, so PySide6 is required. If it is not installed yet, you can install it directly from the add-on panel using the Install PySide6 option. This means you do not need to source the dependency separately before setup, since the panel provides an install action for it. Once PySide6 is in place, the spreadsheet-style editor window can open as intended for viewing and editing weights.

Does Yuzu Weight Editor have an English interface?

Yuzu Weight Editor supports an English UI in the released add-on. Some screenshots and GIFs in the documentation show the Japanese UI, but the shipped version also includes English, so you are not limited to the Japanese interface shown in those images. This makes the spreadsheet tabs, display controls, and copy/paste tools accessible in English. For the most current information on interface options, refer to the developer's documentation and add-on page.

Is Yuzu Weight Editor free?

Yuzu Weight Editor is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions of use, check the developer's page directly, as details can change over time. The add-on covers vertex-group weight viewing and editing, copy/paste and symmetry tools, invalid weight detection, and cleanup helpers such as deleting unused vertex groups. Confirming the latest licensing on the developer's page is the safest way to know exactly what is offered before you download.
