If you work with hard surface modeling or complex mesh extrusion in Blender, the default Solidify modifier often falls short. That’s where Solidify Plus comes in — a powerful Geometry Nodes-based replacement that adds precision, flexibility, and control to solidifying geometry in Blender.
Solidify Plus is a non-destructive Geometry Nodes modifier created by Nodes Interactive. It’s a feature-rich upgrade over Blender’s built-in Solidify tool, allowing users to generate clean, fully controllable rim geometry with enhanced support for creasing, beveling, normals, and custom profiles.
It’s ideal for:
1. Multi-Level Rim Loops:Add multiple supporting loops to maintain edge sharpness and better subdivision. Helps you create clean geometry, especially for objects that need chamfering or advanced subdivision.
2. Full Crease and Bevel Weight Control:Unlike the basic modifier, Solidify Plus lets you assign crease and bevel values globally or based on mesh angle, giving you detailed surface definition in one pass.
3. Custom Profile Shapes:You can define a rim profile using curves — this means non-uniform bevels and even stylized shapes are possible. This is something not possible with the vanilla Solidify modifier.
4. Inset Control:Fine-tune the rim’s inner offset to control how the extrusion blends with the original geometry.
5. Extrusion Normal Handling:Correct normals during solidification to avoid shading artifacts. Especially useful when dealing with complex surfaces or exporting models for rendering or games.
6. Geometry Node-Based:This isn’t a Python script hack. It’s fully built using Blender’s native Geometry Nodes system, meaning it’s future-proof, highly customizable, and integrates seamlessly into existing workflows.
The Paid version is affordably priced at around $5.24, making it a no-brainer upgrade if you’re doing serious modeling in Blender.
Compared to the default Solidify modifier, Solidify Plus gives you the kind of control that professionals expect: edge support, correct bevels, customized shapes, and clean normals — all packed in a geometry-node framework that’s easy to use and fast to modify.
Final Verdict:If you’re still relying on Blender’s default solidify modifier for production work, you’re holding yourself back. Solidify Plus is a must-have modeling tool for anyone doing detailed mesh work or high-quality renders.
