Viewport Display Switcher
The Display Mode Switcher is a powerful and handy add-on for Blender that allows users to quickly and easily switch between different display modes in the 3D editor window. This tool greatly improves productivity and simplifies the workflow when creating and editing 3D objects.
Key features and functions:
Quickly switch between display modes:
- Display Mode Switcher offers a convenient drop-down menu that makes it easy to switch between the following display modes:
- Material
- Base Color
- Wireframe
- Roughness
- Metallic
- Specular
- Normal
- Emission
- Opacity
- UV Checker
- Background object to improve visualization: The addon also contains functionality for adding and removing a background object in a scene, allowing the user to better focus on the current 3D object.
Examples of use:
- Modeling and texturing: When creating or editing 3D models and textures, Display Mode Switcher lets you quickly switch between different display modes to check different aspects of an object's material and texture. For example, you can check the base color, roughness, metallicity, reflection, normals, and radiance of your texture with a single click.
- UV debugging: Display Mode Switcher offers a UVChecker mode that allows users to easily check and correct possible UV unwrapping and texturing problems.
- Simplifies workflow in animation and rendering: With the ability to quickly switch between different display modes, animators and artists can simplify their workflow by checking and adapting lights, materials and textures in the scene. This makes it easier to view and analyze the animation, providing better quality source material for rendering.
- Improved handling of procedural materials: The Display Mode Switcher provides the ability to view each individual material component, which is especially useful when working with procedural materials. By switching between the different display modes, you can fine-tune the settings, creating realistic and complex materials.
Display Mode Switcher is a powerful tool for Blender users that greatly simplifies and improves your workflow when creating, editing, and animating 3D objects. This addon offers a convenient way to switch between different display modes quickly and efficiently, giving you flexibility and control over your 3D projects.
We appreciate your feedback and are always listening to your comments and suggestions. We plan to add new features in the near future, such as UV Checker tiling customization and support for shaders other than Principled BSDF. Stay tuned for updates, and happy texturing!
