Blender Optics Simulator

Live ray tracing & auto-alignment for optical benches · v0.24.3

One-click install (Blender 4.2+):

⤓ Drag this into Blender to install

Drag the button onto an open Blender window. Blender installs the add-on and subscribes you to update notifications — no URL to type. Make sure Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ System ▸ Network ▸ Allow Online Access is on.


Updates are automatic. Once installed via the link above, every new release shows up inside Blender (status-bar badge / Preferences ▸ Get Extensions ▸ Install Available Updates). You never download a zip by hand again.


Already on an older version you installed “from disk”? Disk installs never update. Remove the old copy once and re-install via the link above — then you're on the update channel.

Prefer manual? Add the repository URL once in Preferences ▸ Get Extensions ▸ Repositories ▸ [+] ▸ Add Remote Repository: https://emircbngl.github.io/blender-optics-simulator/index.json — or grab the zip from the latest GitHub release.
