3 Free Blender Add-ons I Can’t Live Without
If you want to work faster in Blender, add-ons are the closest thing to a superpower. Today’s issue breaks down three free tools that save hours of repetitive work and make your workflow noticeably smoother. Two are built directly into Blender, and one gives you access to the biggest free asset library in the ecosystem.
1. A.N.T. Landscape (Built Into Blender)
If you build environments, this add-on is essential.
A.N.T. Landscape lets you generate complex terrains in seconds — mountains, cliffs, dunes, islands, whatever you need. Everything is procedural, so you can tweak details endlessly without remaking anything.
It's perfect for:
• Blocking out environments
• Building backgrounds quickly
• Creating stylized or realistic terrains without sculpting
Most people don’t even realize it ships with Blender. You just enable it and go.
2. Copy Attributes (Built Into Blender)
This is the add-on that stops Blender from feeling slow and repetitive.
Copy Attributes lets you duplicate almost any property from one object to another instantly: location, rotation, modifiers, constraints, object data — everything.
Use cases:
• Duplicating modifier stacks to dozens of objects
• Keeping scenes consistent
• Technical scenes where accuracy matters
Total time-saver. Zero reason not to enable it.
3. BlenderKit (Free Version)
BlenderKit has paid tiers, but the free version alone gives you access to a massive library of over 18,000 free models and 28,000 free materials.
It’s the fastest way to populate a scene without manually modeling every background object.
Perfect for:
• Speeding up look-dev
• Filling out environments
• Getting ideas out quickly without getting bogged down
If you create anything at scale, BlenderKit becomes one of those tools you just keep open.
