Blender add-on from CGMatter that makes primitives non-destructive with gizmo-editable parameters.

What Better Primitives does

Better Primitives is a Blender add-on from CGMatter that replaces destructive basic shapes with ones you can keep adjusting. Drop a shape in from the Shift+A menu and reshape it whenever you like with gizmos, a capability added in Blender 4.3.

The set includes a capsule, gear, helix and quadsphere, plus the usual torus, cylinder, sphere, icosphere, cube, plane, circle and line. They work with other modifiers in the stack and come with procedural UVs and materials. It suits modelers who want to stay flexible about proportions.

Key features

  • Non-destructive primitives with editable parameters
