Grid Modeler
Grid Modeler let you draw on the grids
Boolean Cut
Boolean Slicing
Advanced Grid System
Create Pipes
Create new face
Powerful Shape functions
Construction Lines

Quick Add Objects
Rotate Plane
Grid Modeler is an efficient tool designed for speed modeling.
It allow you to cut the mesh and add new mesh at the desired position instantly.
For example, if you want to create :
- Quick static game asset, background objects, buildings, levels
- Sword, shield, armor, anything consistent scales and angles are needed
- Sci-fi spaceship, robots, weapons, hard surface modeling
Grid Modeler will be very handy for you.
If you have experience in Google Sketchup, Fusion360 or other CAD software, you may feel familiar, because Grid Modeler has some similar concepts.
Story About Grid Modeler
Traditional modeling workflow require you to spend a lot of time for topology. It has its advantages but not all the time. Sometimes we don’t need to animate our models and they are hard surface or static. We want to use “boolean workflow”. Grid Modeler is very powerful for boolean workflow.
What makes Grid Modeler different is that it focus on “position” and “alignment”. This is an very important concept. I don’t need to worry about keeping copy of the existing “cutter” mesh in order to create “boolean holes” with same size. I don’t need to worry about how to center my details at the middle of the line.
In Grid Modeler, you can draw shapes, then Boolean cut it, create a new face + extrude, or Boolean Slicing. It has rich functions and it can help you to create new mesh very fast.
You don’t have to think about “topology” or “edge flow”. Just select some faces and draw, then cut. Grid Modeler is designed to be very robust - You can draw across more than one coplanar faces. Drawn shapes can be larger than the face and exceeding the border, no problem.
About the Design
Unlike other blender addons, this tool does not depends on menus and buttons. This tool is highly optimized for fast hotkeys. You can control this tool easily by pressing simple keys.
From the demo videos of Grid Modeler, you can see that how smooth and fast the modeling process is. I don’t need to click on any buttons or menus. I just press simple keys and go.
Grid Modeler is designed to be concise. It focus on its strength, but not “many arms”. I do not add any unnecessary or unrelated functions to the tool. I prefer creating a good knife instead of putting 100 tools into a box.
Here are some short demonstration of Grid Modeler.
