Creating Extensions

Extensions are add-ons or themes used to extend the core functionality of Blender. They are shared in online platforms, and can be installed and updated from within Blender.

The official extensions platform for the Blender project is extensions.blender.org. Other third party sites can also be supported, as long as they follow the Extensions Platform specification.
