Mother Picker (blender addon)

Mama Knows The Perfect Hue.

Are you a 3D artist who loves the expressive freedom of texture painting? Then you know the pain of breaking your flow just to fight with an external app or a cluttered control panel. No more!

Mother Picker is the definitive color management hub for Blender, designed specifically to protect your creative momentum with a simple, intuitive interface.

It delivers mathematically perfect color schemes with 6 professional Color Harmony Modes to guarantee your hues look amazing. It also features instant, 2-way synchronization with all Blender paint modes—meaning the color you pick in the N-Panel is the color you paint with, and vice versa.

Every custom palette you create is safely saved within your Blender file and loads automatically, so you'll never lose that perfect hue again.

Stop fighting your settings and struggling for harmony. Let Mama handle the color.

🔑 Key Features: Harmony, Sync, and Storage

Color Theory Generation

• Theory Generator: Generate professional color schemes with 6 built-in Harmony Modes: Analogous, Complementary, Triadic, Split Complementary, Tetradic, and Monochromatic.

  

  
  
• Theory Flexibility (Color Count): Dynamically adjust the number of colors to generate for each harmony mode, from 2 to 6 colors.

Real-Time Synchronization & Picking

• Robust 2-Way Sync: Provides instant, bi-directional synchronization between the addon's color wheel and the native Blender paint color, supporting Unified Paint Settings as well as Image Paint, Vertex Paint, and Sculpting modes.

  

  
  
• Viewport Eyedropper: Includes the native Blender color sampling tool (Eyedropper icon) directly in the panel to instantly pick colors from the 3D viewport or screen.

  

  
  

Persistent Storage & Access

• Palette Management: Create, name, save, and load multiple custom color palettes that persist across sessions every time you save your Blender file.
