About Sketchn’carve

Sketch N’ Carve is a Blender add‑on created by Sahin Ersoz that utilizes Grease Pencil tools to turn 2D sketches into 3D meshes. Users draw a shape, click once, and the sketch becomes geometry, which can then be modified with Boolean operations, extrude, twist, scale, and other actions. The add‑on includes both a full edition and a lighter CORE edition. Features cover Boolean (Union, Difference, Intersect, Slice), surface tools (draw on surface, project strokes, shrink wrap), modifiers (mirror, spin, array, curve deform with custom profiles), smoothing, knife, self‑trim, poke, subdivision surfaces, crease, and Shape Animation. Separate builds are provided for different Blender releases: versions targeting Blender 4.3 and later, and versions for Blender 4.2 and earlier. The toolset aims at 2D artists and Blender users who prefer sketch‑based modeling over traditional vertex manipulation.

Features

• Sketch to geometry with a single click, converting drawings into 3D meshes
• Boolean operations: Add (Union), Remove (Difference), Intersect and Slice, with destructive or non-destructive workflows
• Modeling actions including Extrude (with Subdivide), Randomize, Twist and Scale, plus Join Strokes, Join Sketchy, Join Shapes and Concentric Shapes drawing styles
• Surface tools: Draw on Surface, Project Strokes to Surface and Shrink Wrap
• Mirror, Spin, Array and Curve Deform modifiers with custom profiles and tapers
• 2D and 3D Smooth to round objects without increasing poly count, plus Subdivision Surfaces and Crease
• Knife Tool, Self Trim, Poke and Shape Animation

Best for

Blender users, especially 2D artists, who want to model by sketching rather than hand‑editing vertices.
