Hi, I'm mitarashi6bear 👋
I'm from Japan.
What I do
My main job is balloon art — creating various characters and figures using balloons to entertain people. It's a craft built around making 3D forms from scratch.
That love of building shapes naturally pulled me toward Blender. I started learning 3D modeling as a hobby, and now I occasionally take small commissions too. Going from physical sculpture to digital felt surprisingly fun — the mindset of "how do I build this shape?" carries over really well.
Why I started making add-ons
Recently I started developing Blender add-ons, and the reason is pretty simple: I kept running into small workflow annoyances that Blender doesn't handle out of the box.
Things like:
- Reloading textures from an external app requires clicking through several menus every single time
- Moving an object's origin to its bottom center (super common when placing props) takes more steps than it should
So I just... fixed them. Nothing fancy, just small tools to remove the friction from my own workflow. If they're useful to others, great.
What I'll be posting here
- Blender add-on releases and explanations
- Small Blender tips I pick up while learning
- Maybe some thoughts on the overlap between physical craft and 3D modeling
I'm still very much learning, so expect a mix of "here's a tool I made" and "here's something that confused me for way too long."
My add-ons are available on Gumroad:

Nice to meet you all!
