Blender books and add-ons

New add-on: NewGrowth

NewGrowth is a Blender add-on that lets you draw trees interactively. Using brush strokes you can direct the growth of twigs and let them grow into branches. You can prune existing branches as well. NewGrowth gives you full control to create unique trees with real character.

Once a tree is created many aspects of the generated mesh and leaf particle system are parameterized, like the overall thickness of the trunk or the amount of tiny twigs that are pruned, giving you control over your creation even after you have saved the result.

NewGrowth is designed for intuitive drawing and comes with on-screen help as well as a comprehensive manual.


NewGrowth is available on BlenderMarket

NodeSet Pro

NodeSet Pro will reduce material creation to a few simple clicks while still allowing you to fully tweak the resulting material. Out of the box it will work with texture sets created with Substance Painter's Metallic/Roughness work flow and its Specular/Gloss workflow but almost every node generation feature can be tweaked to fit your specific workflow and texturing software. NodeSet Pro is available on BlenderMarket

Open Shading Language for Blender

My self published e-book on writing OSL shaders. Written with a focus on Blender but might be useful for other renderers supporting OSL as well.

WeightLifter

WeightLifter is a Vertex Group Tool that letÅ› you record all kinds of mesh characteristics to vertex groups or vertex color layers, including vertex visibility from a camera or illumination by a lamp.
It is available on BlenderMarket.

IDMapper

IDMapper simplifies creation and editing of vertex color layers that can be used as ID-maps in texturing software like Substance Painter or Quixel. It aims to reduce the time it takes to create an ID-map significantly, especially for complex hard surface models.
It is available on BlenderMarket.

TextureWatch

TextureWatch is a small add-on to automatically synchronize textures used in your .blend file if they change on disk. This simplifies working with external programs like Gimp or Substance Painter because TextureWatch can automatically update those textures when you save your files without the need to go through all images inside Blender one by one and selecting reload. This saves time as well as guarantees consistency.

TextureWatch is available on BlenderMarket

Ortho

Ortho offers a collection of tools that allows you to move, rotate, scale, snap and align selections of a mesh relative to a user defined reference plane. Ortho is available on BlenderMarket
