MACHIN3tools is a continuously evolving collection of blender tools and pie menus in a single customizable package.
What is Prime? What is DeusEx?
They are the two MACHIN3tools base variants.
Prime already contains almost everything - measured in lines of codenot the best way to do it! Prime is 85% of the DeusEx variant.
DeusEx contains a few more-advanced tools not present in the Prime variant.
They are:
- the Edge Constrained Transform tool
- Group Gizmos and Poses
- the Punch It manifold Extrusion tool, similar to the one in the dedicated PUNCHit addon
- advanced Assembly/Asset tools like Assembly Editing, Assembly Variants, Assembly Origin Orientation/Rotation Adjustment, and more
Both variants come with 1 year of free Updates.
The What's New? and Changelog pages are a great resource to get up to speed with the latest changes.
MACHIN3tools 1.12 works with Blender 4.2 to 4.4!
