Hollow Object Creator – Blender Add-on for Easy Hollowing & Cutouts

Studio156 in Modeling


Need to hollow out a mesh in Blender without spending time setting up modifiers and Boolean operations manually? Hollow Object Creator lets you transform almost any object into a hollow version with adjustable wall thickness in just a few clicks. Whether you're creating bottles, barrels, boxes, vases, dishes, or other container-like objects, the add-on provides a fast and intuitive workflow.

Hollow Any Object in Seconds

Turn solid meshes into hollow objects with a single operation. Simply select your object, choose the desired wall thickness, and let the add-on do the work. It creates a clean hollow interior while preserving the original shape, making it ideal for both modeling and preparing objects for 3D printing.

Create Perfect Shape-Matching Openings

Need an opening that perfectly follows the contour of your model? Hollow Object Creator can automatically generate cutouts that match the object's shape, making it easy to create open containers, bottles, vases, boxes, and many other designs. This eliminates the need for tedious manual Boolean editing and produces consistent, clean results.

Full Control Over Cutout Placement

Choose exactly where your opening should appear. Enable cutouts on any combination of the six sides (X+, X−, Y+, Y−, Z+, and Z−), giving you the flexibility to create different types of hollow objects without additional modeling work.

Perfect for Everyday Modeling Tasks

The add-on is especially useful for creating containers and similar objects, including:

  • Bottles
  • Vases
  • Barrels
  • Boxes
  • Dishes
  • Decorative objects
  • 3D-printable models

Because it works with the existing shape of your mesh, you can quickly create a wide variety of hollow objects while maintaining their original design.
