You can do anything in Blender, from modeling, sculpting, and texturing to procedural generation, non-destructive modeling, and destructive modeling. From non-photorealistic rendering to photorealistic rendering, from ray tracing to screen-space rendering. But you know what? You can do all of these things faster and better using addons. There are thousands out there, and a few more were released this week, so let’s take a look at them.

Figaro – Fast Base Meshes

Starting with Figaro, a fast mesh generation addon—what makes modeling hard is that, most of the time, you have to start with simple primitives like cubes or spheres that look nothing like the final model you want to create. Figaro provides an easy way to fast-track to the base mesh of what you want to sculpt. With just a few extrusions, you can create human characters, animals, and anything else you can think of.

Fracturelab

Another great addon is Fracture Lab, a powerful tool for breaking up models into fractures, adding cracks, damage, and more. It’s designed by the creators of RBD Lab, the best simulation addon for Blender. They specifically made Fracture Lab compatible with RBD Lab, so if you want to create advanced RBD simulations, all you have to do is export the fractures to RBD Lab.

B3Fx Bundle – Rbdlab,Vdblab,Fluidlab

Speaking of RBD Lab, it now comes as part of the B3FX bundle, which also includes VDB Lab—an addon designed to streamline your workflow with Mantaflow, making it easier to create fire, explosions, gases, and more. With just a few clicks, you can generate complex explosions. It also features VDB Lab Shader, the most advanced, complex, and customizable fire shader available.

The bundle also includes Fluid Lab, the latest creation from B3FX Studios. This comprehensive fluid simulation addon leverages Blender’s SPH system to create a wide range of simulations, from water and other fluids to more viscous materials like sand or mud.

Archinteriors Vol 63 For Blender

While addons are incredibly useful, finished products can be just as valuable. If you need an interior scene, having a collection of pre-made environments—whether it’s shopping malls, gyms, stadiums, art galleries, or restaurants—can save you a huge amount of time. These collections come fully built with materials and high-quality textures, ready to use.

This particular collection is from Evermotion, a professional studio that creates 3D assets for both large and small studios. Their collections come as Blender files packed with assets that can also be used in other projects, making them a great resource for speeding up your workflow.

Node-It

Another highly useful collection is a combination of materials, shaders, and procedural tools from the Node It toolkit. This collection includes material and shader masks that make it easier to blend textures, mix shaders, and showcase material traits like degradation, wear, and tear—just as you’d expect in the real world.

On top of that, the toolkit also comes with Geometry Nodes tools for adding detail, wreckage, and more, making it a powerful asset for both material creation and procedural modeling.

Simple Sketch Pro

There should be a better way to categorize addons because calling everything an “addon” can sometimes undersell what the tool actually is. Take Simple Sketch Pro, for example—yes, it’s technically an addon, but it’s so niche and specialized for rendering that just calling it an addon makes it feel like just another tool in the market. In reality, it fulfills every product designer’s dream: a way to present products in the most professional and polished manner.

These are the kinds of renders you’d see in product manuals, showcases, demos, or pitch decks for investors and startups. It’s a powerful tool for any startup designing products, offering a seamless way to showcase their ideas to both investors and customers.

Interniq

We are in the peak era of Blender addons—where you can create anything you want without having to create everything your self. If you need to fill a room with furniture, you don’t have to model every single piece yourself. Just set up some walls, a floor, and a ceiling, then use a library like InterniQ to dress up your scene with chairs, books, tables, lamps, sofas, and more.

For interior designers, this is a dream come true—the ability to build and visualize spaces effortlessly without exhausting yourself in the process.

Archmodels Vol 285 For Blender

And it’s not just furniture—it can be anything. Take this collection, for example. It’s a set of street props, including chairs, bus stops, EV charging stations, solar panels, electric bike stations, city construction props, and much more.

The level of detail on these assets is remarkable, making them perfect not just for filling out a scene but also for close-up shots, thanks to the high-quality textures used. Whether you’re working on an urban environment, an architectural visualization, or a game scene, having ready-made assets like these can save an enormous amount of time while maintaining top-tier visual quality.

Skyline Ukiyo Modern Metropolis – Modern Cities Kitbash Greeble Assets

You can also create bustling cities with a collection of modern metropolis buildings. When combined, these buildings can form a cyberpunk city, a modern city, or any urban landscape you envision. You can shape the city’s vibe by selecting specific buildings from this collection of over 50 structures, or use addons like GScatter to generate something random yet epic at any scale.

Despite their high level of detail, these buildings are lightweight, allowing you to populate a scene with hundreds of them without performance issues. Whether you’re working on game environments, animations, or visualizations, this collection makes city-building both fast and efficient.

Archmodels Vol. 271 For Blender

And if that collection doesn’t quite match the vibe you’re going for, there’s no need to start from scratch—modeling building by building could take forever. Instead, you can simply try another set, like this modern city collection, featuring the kinds of buildings you see in real-world cities.

With ready-made assets, you can quickly swap styles and experiment with different urban layouts without spending weeks modeling everything yourself. Whether you’re aiming for realism or stylization, having multiple collections to choose from lets you focus on the creative process rather than the technical grind.
