Blaster – the Blender 3D add-on for quickly and easily creating blaster and magic beams.
Add-on functionality
To create a blaster beam with default settings, just add a curve to the scene:
shift + a – Curve
set the desired shape, and click the “Blast Along Curve” button in the add-on panel.
The blaster beam can be static, or you can assign a default animation to it by checking the “Add Default Animation” checkbox and setting the animation start and end frames.
The basic parameters of the created ray can be quickly adjusted in the add-on panel.
The last ray can be recreated, if necessary, by checking the “Recreate Last” checkbox.
With the “Blaster” add-on, you can create:
Simple visual effects
Blaster beams for Sci-fi Weapons
Magic rays for fantasy scenes

Hi! There were many changes in 3.0, I’m already working on the adaptation.
Updated for the 3.0 release.
Please reinstall the add-on. Don’t forget to restart Blender after the add-on update.
Is it working with 2.82?
Thanks.
No, the minimal version is 2.93, preferred 3.0, because it uses Geometry Nodes.
