Vacuum Wrap | Blender Addon  

Vacuum Wrap — Blender Addon

One-click vacuum-sealed plastic wrap for any 3D model.

Wrap any object in a tight, realistic vacuum-sealed plastic skin in 4 simple steps. Built for product visualization, packaging design, post-apocalyptic scenes, mummified props, preserved artifacts, frozen meals, and any scenario where you need that signature shrink-wrapped look.

🎯 What It Does

Vacuum Wrap automates the tedious process of wrapping a model in plastic. It builds a clean topology cage around your mesh, sucks it tight to the surface with Shrinkwrap, remeshes for uniform deformation, then runs a Cloth simulation with negative pressure to create authentic vacuum-sealed wrinkles and sag.

No more fighting with cloth settings. No more crashes from dense meshes. Just clean, predictable plastic wrap on any model — from a single coin to a full character.

✨ Key Features

4-Step Workflow

• Step 1: Create Box — auto-fits a cage around your model
• Step 2: Vacuum to Model — Shrinkwrap with live preview
• Step 3: Remesh — clean uniform topology for stable simulation
• Step 4: Cloth Sag — physics-based wrinkles and folds

Smart Auto-Protection

• Auto-decimate proxy for heavy collision targets (no more crashes on 100K+ vertex models)
• Adaptive cloth & collision quality scaling with mesh density
• Hard vertex limits with one-click auto-fix
• Auto-save before every bake

8 Fabric PresetsPlastic Wrap • Cotton • Silk • Denim • Leather • Rubber • Paper • Custom

Advanced Collision Control

• Distance, quality, and target thickness — all adaptive
• Self-collision toggle (auto-disabled on dense meshes for stability)
• Custom Floor Collision — pick any object as the ground plane
• Smart culling and normal-based detection

Production Ready

• One-click Apply/Freeze — bake everything into clean geometry
• Material slot preserved through all steps
• Custom property tracking — clean undo, clean removal
