DocsFind every feature
Find every feature
The + button at the left of the chat's message box is Angelo's main menu. It is the same in Director and Manual mode, and every feature Angelo adds to Blender starts from it.
Open the menu#
- Click + at the left of the message box. The menu opens above the box, as tall as it needs to be.
- Click a feature to open it. Click a group, such as Video or Render, and its rows replace the grid; Back returns.
- Or start typing: the search finds features and the rows inside groups, such as an engine, a flow or a base mesh, and names the group each one is in.
- The keyboard works too: the arrow keys move over the grid, Return opens or picks, ← or Backspace goes back from a group, and Esc clears the search, then closes the menu.
Every feature fits without scrolling. Only a long group, such as the base meshes or your saved flows, scrolls inside its own page. In a very narrow chat the grid becomes one column.
Report a bug and Request a feature are at the foot of the menu (Feedback).
Attach#
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Image or file… | Show the agent a reference picture or model. See Pictures and files. |
Create#
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Media Studio | Generate images and 3D models in one step (Media Studio). |
| New in 1.0.8 Photo to 3D model… | Pick a photo, and Angelo makes it a 3D model where you are working (Photo to 3D). |
| New in 1.0.8 Angelo Library | Free models, materials and HDRIs, powered by ToonLab (Angelo Library). |
| New in 1.0.8 Video (a group) | Video: make a clip from a prompt, a still or a shot (Video). Make Video from This Shot and Video from This Camera Move: start a clip from your scene's camera (Camera to video). |
| Generation Flows (a group) | New Flow, the ready-made templates and the flows you saved: chain generation steps into a flow you can run again (Generative AI and Flows). |
| New in 1.0.8 Render Engine (a group) | The engine F12, Render Animation and render jobs use: EEVEE, Cycles Preview or Final, and engines you installed such as V-Ray (Render engines). |
| New in 1.0.8 Render (a group) | AI render: restyle the camera's view with an image model (AI render). Render region: render one part of the last render again (Render region). Bake maps…: every material map of the selection as a texture set, packed for your engine (Bake maps). |
| Workflows | Ready-made runs in Media Studio, such as a character image made into separate 3D parts (Media Studio). |
Start from#
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Base meshes (a group) | 21 sculpt-ready heads, bodies, hands and more, at real size. Pick one and it is added when you send your message (Start from a base mesh). |
| Work on hands | The agent starts from the selected rig's hands and Angelo's hand tools. Like a base mesh, it applies when you send. |
Inspect#
| Row | What it does |
|---|---|
| New in 1.0.8 Select Through | Box, lasso and circle selection reach hidden parts too, while the view stays solid, in Edit Mode. It turns the same switch as the button beside X-ray (Select Through). |
| New in 1.0.8 Tension map | See where a posed or simulated mesh stretches (red) and compresses (blue) (Tension maps). |
| New in 1.0.8 UV checker | See how textures land on every mesh: a grid, texel density or stretch. Your materials stay as they are (UV checker). |
Or ask the agent#
You don't have to know where a feature lives. Ask in the chat, for example “how do I link Unity?” or “can Angelo render with V-Ray?”: the agent answers with where to find it, and where it can turn a feature on for you, it shows a card for you to approve first.
A few features also live where you already look while you work: the render engine in Director's top bar and Render ▸ Render Engine (Render engines), and Select Through beside X-ray in the 3D view's header (Select Through).
A worker's chat during parallel edit doesn't offer Base meshes or Work on hands: they apply to your own scene when you send.
