00:00All right, buckle up Blender Bros and Polygon Pals, we've got a whole buffet of fresh add-ons
00:05and updates coming your way. Whether you're into sculpting, animating, modeling cars,
00:10or just smashing keys until art happens, this one's got something for you. First up,
00:15tire generator. And no, it doesn't make you tired, it makes tires. Real ones, kind of.
00:22If you've ever tried modeling a tire manually, you know it's like trying to knit a sweater
00:27with spaghetti. This add-on uses geometry nodes to do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on
00:34everything else. Great for car models or monster trucks. Whatever you're building in Blender,
00:40if it needs rubber circles, this guy delivers. Then there's OCD, not the one that makes you
00:46reorganize your shader nodes at 2am. This one's one-click damage, and it's perfect for giving
00:52your models that I've been through stuff. Look, no more baby smooth edges. One-click and boom,
00:59instant damage. You can control how messed up it gets too, from oops-a-scratch to fell off a mountain.
01:07Simple UI, real-time feedback, and yes, it even throws in procedural noise maps, because why not?
01:14Pipe generator. If you've ever tried making pipes manually in Blender, bless your heart,
01:20this geometry node-based setup makes it stupid easy. Add pipes, adjust size, radius, bolts.
01:28It's like plumbing for artists. Oh, and it's free, which is the best price.
01:34You ever open Blender's graph editor and it's just spaghetti everywhere? Like it's been attacked
01:40by a timeline demon? Delete Static Channels is here to exercise that demon. It hides unused animation
01:48channels and gives you control over how much motion is enough to stay visible. Basically,
01:55it Marie Kondo's your keyframes. If it doesn't spark motion, it gets booted.
02:01Now for the sculptors. Meet Rune. It's like a tidy shell for your sculpting brushes. It saves,
02:10sorts, and lets you preview all your custom brushes. Even comes with built-in goodies like folds,
02:15scratches, and stitches. You can even make your own thumbnails, which makes you feel like a professional,
02:22even if you've only ever sculpted a donut. Material people, listen up. This add-on is stacked. 90 plus
02:30procedural textures and counting with one-click apply. It's like Netflix for materials, but instead
02:38of watching, you drag and drop onto your mesh and look cool. And yes, free updates every month.
02:45The developer's probably working on more textures right now as you read this. Need to hide objects
02:52that aren't in camera view? End view. Not the daytime talk show, but the add-on that makes stuff
02:57disappear, but only when it's not being watched. It's camera-aware visibility control, and it's
03:03perfect for speeding up animation projects. Hide objects in the viewport, renderer, or even reflection.
03:10Kind of like Blender's invisibility cloak. Trying to keyframe multiple objects in Blender is like
03:21herding cats. Key selected objects makes it way less painful. Select a bunch of things, right-click,
03:29boom, keyframes. It even lets you mass-delete keyframes too, just in case your animation is, uh, not it.
03:40Let's be real. Importing assets into Blender should not be this annoying. Easy import fixes that.
03:50Just paste the path to your .fbx or .obj and boom, it's in. Works with single files or whole folders.
03:59Drag and drop still isn't a thing. Why Blender? But this is the next best thing.
04:10Shout out to Ben, who dropped a massive asset library on Gumroad for free. We're talking
04:24architecture, interiors, props, and they're all native .blend files. Architects and interior designers,
04:32this is your happy place. Big library, big love. Want facial motion capture without spending a
04:39bajillion dollars? Blender Armocap lets you use a webtam to do facial, hand, and pose tracking.
04:46The data plugs straight into Rigify rigs. It's still in beta, but it works shockingly well.
04:53If you like it, maybe send the dev a pizza or something.
04:57Okay, okay, not a Blender add-on, but still cool. Tyflow 3 is out of beta, and if you're into 3ds Max,
05:14this thing's a beast. Think particle system replacement on steroids. There's a free version
05:20and a Pro version. The Pro gives you multi-threading and GPU acceleration, which sounds like a flex and kinda is.
05:50Houdini folks, your turn. The dev behind the modeler plug-in dropped a preview. Lots of direct modeling goodies,
06:04radial menus, shortcuts, and tools galore. If you already own the current version, the upgrade's free. We like that energy.
06:20If any of these tools tickled your mesh-loving heart, check the description for links.
06:27Smash that like button if you learn something, or if you just enjoy hearing someone talk about Blender
06:34with too much enthusiasm. Until next time, keep blending, bro!
06:50Smash that like button if you want.
06:54Smash that like button if you want.
