Core Features Explained

Auto Paint Mode

When an object has a preset modifier applied, this feature can:

  • Automatically switch to weight paint mode
  • Automatically select the corresponding vertex group (based on preset information)
  • Automatically create the vertex group if it doesn't exist
  • In weight paint mode, you can adjust weight values and use tools like invert, smooth, etc.
  • Click "Back to Object Mode" to return to object mode

Auto Create Plane

After enabling the "Auto Create Plane" option, when adding a preset it will automatically:

  • Create a 15m × 15m plane at the 3D cursor position
  • Apply scale transformation
  • Add a 6-level simple subdivision modifier and apply it
  • Set the newly created plane as the active object

Automatic Light Path Settings

The addon automatically detects the rendering engine and optimizes settings:

  • EEVEE / EEVEE Next: Automatically enables ray tracing, sets shadow resolution scale to 0.7, and surface direct light limit to 1

If outdated rendering settings are detected, the panel will display a warning and provide a one-click fix button.
