izom PropUI

Clean Blender control panels, built visually

izom PropUI turns custom properties, rig controls, operators, and RNA-addressable Blender values into readable panels. Build the controls visually, arrange the layout, then generate a real Blender UI that lives in your .blend.

What it solves

Blender custom properties are powerful, but the default presentation is usually a plain list: awkward labels, fixed ordering, and controls scattered across the file. PropUI gives those values a designed interface without making you write a panel by hand.

Use it for rig controls, animation-facing sliders, material and modifier setups, tool buttons, object settings, and any project where the UI should be cleaner than the raw data underneath.

Why it exists

PropUI started from a rigging problem: the controls worked, but the interface around them did not. Driver-safe property IDs, readable labels, custom ordering, grouped controls, and animator-friendly sliders all wanted a real panel. Writing that panel by hand for every project was the part that needed to disappear.

The workflow

  •  Author

    Add entries for values, labels, custom RNA paths, display links, and operator buttons.

  •  Arrange

    Build the output layout with rows, shared rows, row boxes, and sub-panels.

  •  Generate

    Write a standalone Blender panel stored in the .blend, or export portable .py files.
