In the User Preferences, Bender has an option for its users to turn certain Add-ons on or off. Add-ons are there to extend Blender’s functionality, so I relied on the advice of other users to decide what Add-ons to use. I only ended up enabling two add-ons while creating this project, however I was interested to explore the features available.

This add-on allowed me to select a node in the node editor, and see the effects it had on my work.

Image Plane

I discovered this while completing one of Blender Guru’s tutorials, as it required me to import an image as a plane to create the background of my work.

Auto Tile Size

This ensured I had the correct tile size when rendering out on either GPU or CPU.
