Provides pre-made pistons, rigging and snap tools for hydraulic and mechanical parts in Blender.

What Pistonpusher does

Pistonpusher is a Blender plugin by Alexander Schellekens that handles pistons and actuators, from modeling through rigging. It includes ready-made pistons, assets and tools that cut down the setup work.

A Quick Rig system handles pistons, cables, hoses, cardan joints, springs and armature editing. A snap point system positions parts, and HAPS, a Geometry Nodes solution, creates cylindrical extrusions for hose attachments. Useful for mechanical and robotic models. By bringing modeling, rigging and snapping together, it removes much of the fiddly setup normally needed to make mechanical parts move convincingly.

  • Quick Rig for pistons, hoses, joints and springs
