Native Blender Python API Integration

This addon is built entirely using Blender’s native Python (bpy) API, ensuring maximum compatibility, stability, and performance. It does not rely on external libraries, custom binaries, or background processes. All operations—image loading, object creation, material setup, and alignment—are handled directly through Blender’s official API, making the Addon lightweight, reliable, and future-proof across Blender versions.

Installation and Use

Install like any standard Blender Addon, enable it, and access it from the Sidebar in the 3D View under the “Multi-Image” tab. Copy your image paths, adjust settings, and let the Addon handle the layout automatically.
