What is SNURPilator?

SNURPilator is a fast, intuitive tool for drawing curves directly in 3D space inside Blender.

It lets you:

• sketch curves freely in the viewport
• apply taper or pen pressure
• mirror strokes live
• convert curves to mesh instantly

Designed for speed, it turns curve creation into a fluid, sketch-like workflow.

Installation

1. Download the .zip file
2. Open Blender
3. Go to Edit → Preferences → Add-ons
4. Click Install
5. Select the downloaded .zip
6. Enable SNURPilator

The panel will appear in:

3D Viewport → Sidebar (N) → SNURPilator

Basic Workflow

1. Draw a Snurp

• Click SNURP
• Draw directly in the viewport

2. Adjust Shape

• Use Phatness to control thickness
• Choose a shape:
  • Round
  • Square
  • Flat

3. Add Style

Choose one:

• Taperfy → stylized thickness falloff
• Pen Squish → tablet pressure control

(These are mutually exclusive)

4. Mirror (optional)

• Enable X / Y / Z under Flips

5. Convert to Mesh

• Click Combimesh or Combivox

Feature Breakdown

🖊️ SNURP (Draw Tool)

• Draw curves directly in 3D
• Supports surface drawing or free space
• Designed for fast iteration

Phatness

• Controls curve thickness
• Works across all shapes and modes

Snurplook (Shape)

• Round → tube-like curves
• Square → hard-edged profile
• Flat → ribbon-like extrusion

Taperfy

• Applies procedural thickness falloff
• Great for stylized strokes
• Works best with mouse input

Pen Squish (Tablet Pressure)

• Uses tablet pressure for thickness
• Disables taper for accurate input
• No post-processing — fully native feel

Flips (Mirror)

• Mirror strokes across X / Y / Z axes
• Applies per Snurp
• UI reflects selected object

Snurpsmooth

• Controls stroke smoothing during draw
• Higher values = smoother curves

Wabble (Randomize)

• Adds noise to curve points
• Useful for organic shapes

Meshify

Combimesh

• Converts curves to mesh
• Combines multiple Snurps into one

Combivox

• Converts + voxel remesh
• Great for blockouts / sculpt base

Jorkelate

• Adds curve-based deformation to meshes
• Generates a preview rig
• Apply to deform along axis
