Panel Cutter

Developer: Blender Guppy

Download Free

Small Blender add-on that creates panel cut detail from sharp-marked edges, for sci-fi style hard surface models.

What Panel Cutter does

Panel Cutter turns edges marked sharp in edit mode into paneled surface detail. It converts simple geometry into richer sci-fi models, in either object or edit mode.

The generated geometry can merge into the source mesh or stay non-destructive, panel heights can be randomized, and a vertex group tags the panel geometry so it is simple to select. Hard-surface and spaceship modelers can add greebling-like panel lines quickly. Randomized heights give surfaces an uneven, built-up feel typical of spacecraft hulls and industrial machines.

Key features
