Pillow Maker (Blender 4.5) — by S4C

Make soft, puffy pillows in seconds.

Pillow Maker is a tiny, fast Blender add-on that turns a plane into a simulated pillow with one

click—complete with live controls, automatic UVs, a Principled BSDF + checker preview, and

cache-only baking.

Why you’ll love it

● One-click pillows: Creates the mesh + Subsurf (Simple) + Solidify + Cloth (pressure

only) for clean, predictable results.

● Live editing: Change Size X / Size Y, Subdiv Levels, Thickness (mm), Pressure,

Gravity (0–1), Shade Smooth, and Checker Scale—all update instantly.

● Auto UV unwrap: Smart UV Project runs automatically whenever you edit, so materials

stay tidy.

● Collision control: Set Cloth Collision Distance (default 0.001 m) and add object

Collision modifiers with your preferred Thickness Outer.

● Non-destructive baking: “Bake Selected Pillow” fills the cloth cache over a frame

range—no modifiers are applied.

● Simple, focused UI: Everything lives in N-panel → Pillow.

Feature list

● Create: Plane → Subsurf (Simple) → Solidify (mm→m) → Cloth

○ Cloth settings set only: use_pressure = True, uniform_pressure_force

= 6.0, gravity weight exposed in UI

● Auto UV unwrap + Principled BSDF with Checker material (adjustable mapping scale)

● Live Edit panel (when a Pillow is selected):

○ Size X, Size Y○ Subdiv Levels

○ Thickness (mm)

○ Pressure (default 6.0)

○ Gravity (0–1, default 0.5)

○ Cloth Collision Distance (default 0.001 m)

○ Shade Smooth

○ Checker Scale

● Bake Selected Pillow (cache-only; does not apply modifiers)

● Collision helper: adds Collision to selected objects with your chosen Thickness Outer

(default 0.001 m)

Workflow (60 seconds)

1. Pillow → Create

2. Tweak Size, Subdiv, Thickness, Pressure/Gravity (UVs stay clean automatically)

3. Optional: set Collision Distance and add Collision to other objects

4. Bake Selected Pillow to fill the cache (no modifiers applied)

Compatibility

● Blender: 4.5+

● Render engines: Works with Cycles/Eevee (material is Principled + procedural checker)

● No external dependencies.

FAQ

Does Bake apply modifiers?

No. It only evaluates frames to build the cloth cache. Your modifiers stay intact.

Can I use my own materials?

Yes—add or replace materials as you like. The included checker is just for quick previewing/UV

checks.

Can I animate the pillow?

Absolutely. Use the Bake button to fill the cache after adjusting parameters and timeline.

What this add-on is not

It’s not a full cloth-authoring suite—just a fast, dependable pillow-maker tuned for speed and

clean topology.License & use
