📌 Important Note Before Purchasing

Before purchasing, I recommend checking out my other rotation add-on, SpinCraft, which is the next evolution of Show It Off.

If you’re considering Show It Off for sculpting workflows, I strongly suggest looking into SpinCraft, as it is specifically designed for that purpose.

🚀 Show It Off will continue to be maintained and updated as long as new features align with its original scope.

Show It Off 2.0 - Showcase Your Creations

Originally, I had no plans to upgrade Show It Off. I figured I would keep it working as Blender gets new updates, but not actually upgrade the addon. I valued its simplicity, even moving speed settings to the preferences to keep it focused on its main purpose: letting you admire your work effortlessly and without fidgeting with the settings.

Then came 2.0...

The core remains unchanged—nothing removed, nothing complicated. But the new features expand its capabilities, making it even more versatile.

Perfect for sparking creativity and ideal for beginners. Instead of undoing mistakes, you simply refine them.

Blender already consumes most of my free time, but the 'Pottery Wheel' adds a new level of peaceful zoning out. It’s truly a relaxing experience.

Perfect for viewing animations from any angle—no need to adjust the animation, viewport, or cameras.

Most importantly, it lets you effortlessly create a full turntable display of your creations and models, so you can sit back and admire your work.

What’s New in Show It Off 2.0?

Removed Restrictions: Passthrough operations and interactions are now unrestricted, allowing for more flexibility in your creative process. Sculpt, model, change materials, adjust the timeline—nothing is in your way anymore. (I apologize for holding you back.)

UI Enhancements: Access a new section in the Tool panel for easy adjustments, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly interface. Keymapping is also available for starting and stopping the rotation.

Header Button: Quickly tweak settings on the fly with the new header button, giving you instant control over your rotations.

Event Timer: Adjust the event interval timer to fine-tune your rotations for smoother operation and precise timing. When sculpting, you can adjust the event interval timer to match the rate of your brush for a cohesive experience.

Extensions: Adapted for Blender 4.2, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and improvements.

Performance Improvements: Version 1.0 had a rotation cap at 300 units per axis. In 2.0, the cap is set at infinity. Multiple changes to the modal operator ensure smooth and seamless rotations, even at the highest speeds. This enhancement allows you to handle complex tasks like sculpting and modeling with uninterrupted, fluid motion.

10/31/2024 Small Update (2.1):

Removed Key Map and Rotation Properties from Preferences: Previously, key binding was managed in the preferences, but Blender’s default key mapping system handles this seamlessly, so I’ve removed the redundant setting. Also, rotation settings do not serve any purpose being saved as a preference, so moved them to the default window manager.

SHOW IT OFF 2.0 STILL LETS YOU KICK BACK AND ENJOY YOUR CREATIONS.

NOW WITH TOOLS TO HELP YOU GET THERE FASTER!
