MustardUI

Developed by Mustard, MustardUI is a custom UI panel designed specifically for humanoid characters in Blender.

How to Get & Install

MustardUI is now available on the official Blender Extensions. This is the highly recommended method for installation and updates, as it allows you to update the add-on directly from within Blender.

Installing from the official marketplace allows you to receive and install updates with one click from within Blender, eliminating the need to manually download and replace files.

Method 2: Manual Installation from GitHub

This method is suitable if you need a specific older version or want to test development features.

  1. Navigate to the MustardUI Releases page.
  2. Download the latest MustardUI.zip file.
  3. Drag and drop the zip file into Blender or go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, click Install..., and select the .zip file you downloaded.

WARNING

Please ensure the add-on version is compatible with your Blender version. Since Blender 4.0, MustardUI has transitioned entirely to an add-on format, and newer versions do not support older Blender releases.

Basic Usage

Once the add-on is installed and enabled, select a model or armature that has been configured with MustardUI. The control panel will appear in the 3D Viewport's sidebar (toggle with the N key).

Since the latter half of 2023, all character models I create will use MustardUI for their controls.

Mustard Simplify

Developed by the same author, this free add-on lets you toggle a simplified version of your model with a single click (e.g., hiding high-poly modifiers, switching to low-res materials).

This dramatically improves viewport performance when animating or working in complex scenes. It is highly recommended to use it alongside MustardUI for an optimal workflow.
