Welcome to PieMaster

PieMaster is the most powerful custom menu system for Blender. It lets you build fully custom pie menus, simple menus, and layout menus — directly inside Blender, without writing any Python.

Instead of digging through panels and searching for shortcuts, your most-used tools are exactly where your cursor is, one flick away.

Not like Blender's built-in pie menus

PieMaster draws everything itself using Blender's GPU module. This means no 8-button limit, true nested pies, sliders and drawers inside menus, per-menu custom design, and much more.

Requirements

Blender 5.1 or newer is required.

Installation

  1. Download the .zip file from your purchase page.
  2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
  3. Click Install from Disk and select the .zip file.
  4. Enable the addon by ticking its checkbox.
  5. Click on PieMaster in the list to expand it — the full editor opens right inside Preferences.

How to Update

Save first — Remove deletes your local data

Remove wipes the add-on folder, including user_pies.json if you haven't set an external save path. Before updating:

  1. Save your presets — export them (Presets & Import/Export) or make sure they already save to a global path.
  2. Set an auto-save path (Options tab → auto-save filepath field) so your presets/settings save to a file outside the add-on folder and survive a Remove. If you skip this, your menus and keymaps are lost when the old version is removed.

Always follow this order

Skipping the restart can cause conflicts between old and new code.

  1. Save your presets and confirm your save path is set (see above).
  2. Remove the old version — go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, find PieMaster, click Remove.
  3. Restart Blender completely.
  4. Install the new version (same steps as above).
  5. If you used a global save path, your presets/settings reload automatically. Otherwise, import the presets you exported in step 1.

If menus stop working after an update, repeat these steps.
