What is PieMaster?¶
PieMaster lets you build your own menus, your workflow, using Blender's tools or tools from any add-on you own. Right-click, capture, done.
No default Pie Menu limits. Full GPU. Packed with features.
Instead of digging through panels and searching for shortcuts, your tools sit exactly where your cursor already is.
Not Just Blender. Every Add-on You Own.¶
If it shows up anywhere in Blender's UI, PieMaster can turn it into a button, including tools from your other add-ons. Right-click it once, and it's captured into your menu. No coding, no digging through Python paths.
- Right-click capture — grab operators and properties directly from Blender's interface
- Any add-on, any panel — not restricted to native Blender functions
- No scripting required — point, click, and it's in your menu
Three Menu Types (Plus One That Never Closes)¶
Pie Menus — Basic & Layout¶
Radial menus that open at your cursor. Fast, fluid, and right where you need them, with instant quick-action on key release.
- Basic mode — classic radial pie with center circle and trail
- Layout mode — no center circle, free spatial layout instead of fixed directions
Simple Menus¶
Clean dropdown-style menus for linear workflows. Group actions, tools, or operators in a compact list, always exactly where your mouse is. Stays visible after use, with auto open/close support.
Layout Menus¶
Column-based layouts for complex toolsets. Organize buttons in a structured grid and build powerful custom panels right in your viewport. Resize each column independently.
Consistent Menus (LOCKED)¶
Pin a Simple or Layout menu to a fixed spot on screen and it stays there, always visible, no keymap needed. Set an Auto-Show condition and it opens and closes itself based on your context: sculpt mode, edit mode, a selected tool, anything you can write a condition for.
- Fixed position — anchored to a screen corner/edge, never drifts
- Auto-show by condition — shows only in the mode/tool/editor you pick
- Works in any editor — not limited to the 3D Viewport
- One-click declutter — Ctrl+Click the header button to toggle all LOCKED menus at once
Create and Edit Menus in Seconds¶
Build everything directly in Blender's preferences or right in the 3D view with Edit Mode. Click any button to edit it on the spot: change its label, icon, trigger, size, or position.
- Click to edit — select any button and modify it instantly
- Drag to reorder — rearrange buttons freely in your layout
- Live preview — see changes in real time as you build
As Many Buttons as You Need¶
Add as many items as your workflow demands. No arbitrary limit holding you back.
Button Types: Singles, Grids, Sliders & More¶
Every menu is built from flexible building blocks. Mix single buttons, grid groups, and sliders in the same menu. On pie menus, drag buttons to any position and create fully custom spatial layouts.
- Single buttons — classic action triggers
- Grids — compact multi-button groups
- Sliders — adjust values directly in the menu
- Drawers/Menus — add items in the drawer (Operators, Properties, etc.), with rows and icon-only mode
- Row Span — resize button height for custom grid layouts
- Free placement — drag buttons anywhere on pie menus
Arrange Buttons Your Way¶
On pie menus, nothing is locked. Move buttons and grids freely across the surface, with a snap grid to help you place them exactly.
Design Every Detail¶
Customize each menu independently: background color, text color, font size, border radius, opacity, item height, and more. Use your own PNG files as icons on any button. Add sound feedback on trigger.
- Colors & fonts — per menu, per button
- Custom icons — any PNG file as a button icon
- Sound feedback — audio on trigger
- Share your presets with friends or teammates
40+ Triggers & Smart Conditions¶
Each button supports over 40 trigger types. Run operators, execute Python, toggle properties, open nested pies. Combine with conditions at the menu, button, or trigger level to show only what's relevant.
- Operators — run any Blender operator with custom parameters
- Python — execute any script directly from a button
- Properties — toggle, set, or cycle any value
- Conditions — per menu, per button, per trigger
Nested Pie Menus¶
One pie can open another. Build layered menu systems where each level reveals exactly the right set of tools.
- Unlimited depth — nest pies as deep as needed
- Smart key inheritance — hold trigger key flows through nested levels
- Quick-action — release key to instantly execute on a single item
Full GPU¶
Every menu is rendered directly on the GPU. Custom colors and fonts, with instant response and zero performance cost no matter how complex your menu is.
Blender-Native Look¶
Enable automatic theme sync and PieMaster matches Blender's active color theme, always consistent, always at home in your UI.
Share & Reuse¶
Export your entire setup, menus, design, keymaps, as a single file. Share with teammates, sell your workflow, or back up your setup in seconds.
