10 free addons for blender
there are hundreds of paid addons that will help you speed up your 3d generation process, but what if you dont have the money to buy these addons, dont worry in today’s post i have a list of free addons that will help you do everything you need
Tracky
at number one we have tracky, a fast and easy way to make motion tracking, directly with your phone, you just point and record your scene, download the tracking files from your phone to your computer, use the tracky addon to setup everything, tracky also gives you a depth map, setups meshes for the ground and walls so you can start right away adding models to your footage, tracky is available on git hub for free with a how to guide on using it.
Free Addon Autouv
Number 2 we have auto uv, this is a free addon that will do uv unwrapping for you, with one click, how amazing and its totally free, you are not getting a trial version or limited feature version, you are getting a completely free addon with all the features, you just select any object you want and use the Auto uv button to fully unwrap it, the author of the addon is the maker of other addons like auto rig and ragdoll wizard, physics placer, aqua pro and more.
Ragdoll Dynamics
at number 3, we have ragdoll dynamics, Ragdoll is a real-time physics solver for animators originally built for Autodesk Maya and now available to Blender!, i could not believe this existed when i was doing my research for this list, and was totally blown away that it was completely free. if you dont know what ragdoll is or why its so exciting, try animating a character falling or being knocked down by a car, physics is impossible to animate thats why there is a rigid body system to simulate physics in blender, the problem is that it only works on objects without armatures or bones, so it does not act on characters, with this addon, you can finally apply physics on characters and even influence the results with keyframes. this gets the Top Seal of approval for its awesomeness.
Bystedts cloth builder
blender has one of the best cloth simulation system in the industry, unfortunately most of its functionality is hidden in different places so you need to know what you are doing to get good results, fortunately the addon at number 4 bystedts cloth builder is a totally free addon that brings all the blender cloth functions in your viewport where they are easy to find and easy to understand. you can use the addon to create new clothes, add pins to hold cloths, add collision objects, wind forces, simulate pressure and more all without living your viewport, everything you need is infront of you.
Baga Pie | Architecture & Vegetation, Rocks, Trees
at no.5 we have baga pie a collection of every tool, every generator you will ever need for blender, you can make lego bricks, add mold, scatter objects with a curve, generate bridges, zips, and more, this free version comes with all the functionality that the paid versions have, the only thing you are missing out on is the assets, the paid versions come with 600+ assets, scatter biomes and more, but since the free version allows you to use your own assets as well, i guess you are not missing out alot, stick around and i will show you where to find free assets to use.
Sanctus Library – Procedural Materials
