[](https://pypi.org/project/bqt/)

[](https://github.com/techartorg/bqt/wiki)
Add QT support to Blender, letting you create custom UI for your addons with PySide2 QtWidgets.
## Features
| feature | description|
|--|--|
|fully custom UI |Instead of feeling limited by N-Panel only UI. Do whatever you want. |
| cross app | Qt widgets run nativaly in Krita, 3ds Max, Maya, … and are great to use in cross dcc pipelines |
| existing community | hundreds of QT widgets on GitHub you can reuse, and lots of stack exchange questions answered regarding qt.|
|Themed | BQt applies the [blender-qt-stylesheet](https://github.com/hannesdelbeke/blender-qt-stylesheet) so qt widgets will by default look similar to Blender.|
## Requirements
- Blender `2.83`or higher.
- Windows or Mac
- PySide2
- `PyObjC` & `iterm2` (Mac only)
## How to use
1. Install & enable the bqt addon (see [installation docs](https://github.com/techartorg/bqt/wiki/Installation))
2. Create & show your Qt widget, bqt will automatically register it with it's widget manager.
- The [bqt env vars](https://github.com/techartorg/bqt/wiki/Environment-variables) let you toggle bqt features on and off
- sample code: [bqt_demo](bqt_demo) shows you how to use bqt with several qt demos you can run in Blender
