Toaster 3D for Blender
🥪 Toaster 3D — Pop a Toast in Blender
I am sure you are tired of opening Blender up only to be greeted by your own crippling self-doubt and the default cube staring blankly right back at you?
Are you tired of spending three hours on a shader node spaghetti only to realize you could’ve just used Principled BSDF like a normal person?
Or Are you tired of fighting Blender’s hotkeys like you’re playing Mortal Kombat--just to remember how to extrude an edge?
Well, we all are. And in that moment, all you need is a lil nudge of motivation, a few words of wisdom, or a funny lil joke to get you through the tough times.
Coz Art is hard! Blender--is Hard!
Introducing--TOASTER 3D!
With Toaster 3D, every fresh Blender session comes with a warm slice of motivation, served piping hot as a little toast notification in the corner of your viewport.
This add-on is for:
-
Beginners who struggle with creativity and need a lil push when the open the vast world of blender up!
-
Intermediates, who know what to make, but don't know why to make it?

🥂 Why do you need Toaster 3D?
Because Blender is hard. Because art is hard. Because sometimes you need a silly, earnest lil nudge before facing another 7-hours of modelling a fire extinguisher nobody's ever gonna notice.
Toaster 3D doesn’t teach you topology, it doesn’t fix your normals, and it sure won’t optimize your geometry nodes. But it will make you smile (or cry), and sometimes that’s enough to keep you going.
This is how it looks in Blender!
You can even donate your own quote if you want for a small payment: Using this link or pressing the 'donate a quote' button on the bubble inside blender!
Note:
The addon was made using Ai tools like chatgpt and claude and even a lot of the quotes were written by ai tools. so if you are not comfortable with that, do not install the addon. i totally understand your stance.
But the only thing i can say is--even though ai was used on the addon--i literally sat down and read each and every quote and made fixes to them one by one. same with the code.
so if you trust me as a creator, maybe you can trust this addon as well.
An Addon Zip File that can be installed directly in Blender by Dragging and Dropping it on the UI. Works on Blender 3.0+
