bqt
Add QT support to Blender, letting you create custom UI for your addons with PySide2 QtWidgets.
Features
| feature | description |
|---|---|
| fully custom UI | Instead of feeling limited by N-Panel only UI. Do whatever you want. |
| cross app | Qt widgets run nativaly in Krita, 3ds Max, Maya, … and are great to use in cross dcc pipelines |
| existing community | hundreds of QT widgets on GitHub you can reuse, and lots of stack exchange questions answered regarding qt. |
| Themed | BQT ships with a basic blender theme, so qt widgets will by default look similar to Blender. |
