Overview¶

Vertex Group Plus is an addon that provides additional utility features for Blender’s Vertex Group.

It provides many quality of life features that can reduce workload and saves your time.

Highlighted Features¶

Vertex Group Plus comes with many utility features for the vertex group feature. Below are the highlighted features in Vertex Group Plus.

Tags & Filtering¶

With Vertex Group Plus, you can add tags to your vertex group for various purposes, it allows you to better organize your vertex group by categorizing it using tags.

You can use it to isolate the items and combine multiple tags together to easily filter out the vertex group you desire.

In the search area, you can also show “Only Deform” or “Only Non Deform” armatures, removing the cluttereness and make things simpler.

Select / Hide Vertex Group¶

You can select or hide vertices in your vertex group, this is helpful for modelling, as well as weight paint when you need to isolate an area or temporarily hide a part of mesh that is blocking your view without the need to select the vertices manually.

Join Objects As Vertex Groups¶

By using join objects as vertex group, the created vertex group will use the object’s name as the group’s name. You can also easily separate them back into individual objects later on using the Separate By Vertex Groups function.

This can be useful when you have a character with a separate equipment that you want to join into a single mesh, but want to remember its vertices for later use, such as using a mask modifier to swap equipment.

Separate By Vertex Groups¶

If you already have vertex groups created, you can speed up the process of separating a mesh by extracting the vertices to separate objects. It uses the vertex group’s name as the object name, making things more organized.

This feature is useful when used together with Join Objects As Vertex Groups.

Assign Material to Vertex Group¶

With just a single click, you can assign a material to the vertex group’s faces.

This makes it more convenient for you, saving you time and effort from manually selecting the parts that you want to assign a material.

Create Vertex Group from Selected Vertices¶

To speed things up, you can directly create a vertex group from selected vertices.
