About Neoner
Neoner, developed by Nikita Akimov, is a free add‑on for Blender that creates neon signs, lamps, pointers and other light effects from curves, text or mesh objects. After adding the desired object, the Make Neon button in the Neoner tab of the 3D Viewport’s N‑panel generates a neon highlight. Users can adjust light colour, tube thickness, tube location, the number of holders and add a background. The add‑on is optimized for the EEVEE render engine but also functions with Cycles. It supports Blender releases from 2.83 through 5.0, with the current version 1.1.7. Documentation and a demo video are provided with the download.
