Cool Blender addons

This is a short list of Blender addons that I consider somewhat useful. I'm keeping all of these here so I can save them, and so I can share them around!

Remember! Whenever you install an addon, be sure to check where to look for it in the addon menu. Things may change over time.

TexTools

A set of tools that helps by making UV unwrapping easier.

Source and Releases:

• https://github.com/SavMartin/TexTools-Blender

Website and demonstrations:

• http://renderhjs.net/textools/blender/ (outdated)

Optiloops

Allows you to optimize geometry loops by defining the max angle.

Source and Releases:

• https://github.com/vilemduha/optiloops

Demonstration video: (Older version of Blender)

JMesh & JSculpt

(Formerly FastCarve % FastSculpt)

A set of powerful tools that help with hardsurface and sculpting.

What I really like is JMesh's booleans. They are very powerful and look very consistent.

Note: These tools don't use the github releases feature. Instead you have to download the source using the Clone or download button.

Source and Releases:

• https://github.com/jayanam/jmesh-tools
• https://github.com/jayanam/jsculpt-tools
