New Blender Addons You Probably Missed!

welcome folks in today's video I'll be showing you guys several handy and new blender animals that are guaranteed to enhance your workflow when using blender from tools for modeling and texturing to attaching objects generating patterns there is something for everyone today well technically not everyone but without further Ado let's jump right into it we're going to start with pattern designer and and just like its name suggests this tool is all about generating patterns by transforming any texture into cool looking patterns so in a nutshell pattern designer is a geometry node generator that you can use in your blender projects to get original organic patterns into your scene which can work especially well as displacements for your environmental elements and you could also use it for making cool animated UI elements or you can stick to its basic usage and apply to your floors or walls because at the end of the day it is really up to you I should also inform you that this generator offers loads of possibilities by introducing a couple of Sliders to precisely and neatly manage your patterns I'm talking about things like tilting count the option for honeycomb and triangle profiles radio and linear arrays just to name a few options that you can play around with using pattern designer is straightforward you can impend the node group into your scene or use the provided Standalone blender scene for focused design work it also offers two main warp deformations circular kaleidoscopic and Quarry each with various sub deformations to experiment with and what I think the best feature of this add-on is the fact that it offers the option to add animations with the auto animation driver node Group which produces amazing results moving on from complex pattern generation to a much simpler add-on that brings the old Auto smooth feature if you find the recent changes to the blender 4.1 Auto smooth feature frustrating well you're not alone the developer of this add-on was also disappointed by the new system so he decided to take matters into his own hands and this add-on brings back the functionality of the previous blender version providing a interface which ensures the Autos smooth modifier stays where it should be I must also mention though that it is still in the experimentation stage so you might want to take everything with a grain of salt nevertheless the developer was excited to share his add-on and he doesn't expect that it won't face any problems so if you face any issues you may want to contact him to solve some problems and if everything works as it should be then good for you now let's jump to something more interesting which is all about attaching your objects with the attach 5 Pro add-on in a nutshell it is a nice tool for dynamic curve creation and object wrapping inside the blender and from what I can see it allows you to easily generate Dynamic curves by pressing J over your object this feature lets you easily connect objects offering smooth and organic transitions moreover by simply pressing the white button you can draw lines to wrap between different objects ensuring they bled nicely into the environment and the interesting thing is that the add-on comes with over 25 curve profiles offering curve types such as ropes plants chains and sci-fi curves which I think can be useful in different use cases each curve type comes with customizable parameters as it should allowing you to fine-tune even the smallest details because its project is different and you will need certain parameters to allow you to complete it successfully and the cherry on top is that with the add-on managing simulations is really simple since you can easily hide and Reveal Your simulations which provides Clarity while being user friendly but the most important thing for me is productivity and efficiency around the same topic of productivity and efficiency it is no secret that we are trying to elevate our production on this channel especially when it comes to video editing personally I'm always trying to find ways to create better and more engaging content and with skillshare learning paths you will get access to handpicked and curated classes that aim to hone your skills in one software order logically for you to go from Zero to Hero for me video editing is one of those things so I picked this class called Advanced video editing with Premiere Pro which is basically a video editing path to get the best out of your time while editing but you can also find classes on a plethora of different topics like graphic design photography film making writing web development social media you name it so skillshare is an amazing place where you can learn and pick up new skills it has one of the largest learning communities on the web with a massive and everwing Content Library so what are you waiting for join an online class class on skillshare choose a learning path and push your work to the next level and the first 500 people to click the link in the description we get a one month retrial of skillshare now back to the video let's move on to the next addon which is about enhancing the realism of your scenes by adding agent effects to your materials so in a nutshell it allows you to add various types of agent effects to your objects which can be great in a lot of use cases for example if you don't know how to use material nodes or software such as substance painter or in case you don't want to spend a lot of time doing repetitive tasks so this can be a quick and effective solution to save time you can actually add different effects like dust dirt Edge wear grunge smear scratches rust and more but it doesn't end there you can get a lot of customizability like we have in other add-ons by giving control over things like aging opacity location scale and more let's move now to something more organic which is all about making characters blob Fusion is a new blender add-on designed to make it easier for you to model characters and creatures of any type basically it combines the best aspects of Z spheres and manoles which I think offers a very simple yet effective workflow when it comes to making characters with it you can use two primary Primitives sphere and round com blobs which makes the workflow of making characters a whole lot easier the interesting thing about the add-on is that by adding new blobs it automatically generates a hierarchical object structure that has a rig system for you to use in addition you can control the blobs blending to achieve organic and realistic results at least in theory I would also mention that that it includes a library of presets for quick prototyping covering various forms like humans and animals on a side note blob Fusion simplifies the Armature generation making character modeling more straightforward I think and there you have it guys if you are interested in one of these anals you will find all the necessary links in the description I hope you guys found this video useful and informative if you did please give it a thumbs up you can also check back some of our previous videos thank you very much watching and I will see you in the next one
