Blob Fusion

Blob Fusion is Blender add-on targeted for character/creature base-meshes creation. It can be thought as mix of ZSpheres with Metaballs, combining best of both worlds. I wished for this kind of workflow being possible, for quite some time.

Works with Blender 3.3 and above .

Features/Functionality:

• Model your characters using two primitives: Sphere and Round cone Blobs
• Auto-generated hierarchy of objects (rig like) is created, when adding new Blob
• Blobs blending control that allows to get organic results
• One click Symmetrical setup,
• Easy to use: extrude, subdivide, connect and duplicate is all you need to model
• One click Armature generation
