Tool Generator

Tool Generator fills a workshop, a garage or a building site in a few clicks. Pick a kind of tool, pick one of 281 ready-made designs from the picture gallery and add it at real size, resting on the ground. Every design is built from settings, so you can change the size, the jaw opening, the handle, the colors and the condition, and the model rebuilds live.

There are 107 tool types in 8 kinds, each researched from real tools: real dimensions, real proportions and the small details that make them read as the real thing, like stamped sizes, knurled grips, set saw teeth, ribbed overmolds and battery packs.

Installation

In Blender open Edit, Preferences, Get Extensions, then use Install from Disk and pick the tool_generator zip.

Usage

• Open the Tools tab in the 3D viewport sidebar (N). Pick a kind (Wrenches, Screwdrivers, Pliers & Cutters, Hammers, Saws & Bars, Measure & Clamp, Power Tools, Site & Garage).
• Browse the designs with the arrows or click the picture for the whole gallery, then press Add Tool. Add All as a Set lays out every design of that kind in a row. You can also use Shift+A, Mesh, Tool.
• Select a tool to edit it: the card at the top changes the design, Surprise and Same Kind pick a random one. Type switches the tool type, Shape holds its sizes and options, Look sets the steel finish, colors and wood.
• Condition makes it Brand New, Used or Old; Variation changes where the wear lands.
• Detail and Export sets the mesh detail. Make Plain keeps the tool as an ordinary mesh; Delete removes it.

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Can I use the tools in a game engine?

Yes. Every tool is a single mesh at real size with Principled BSDF materials, no modifiers and no child objects, so it exports to FBX or glTF as it is. Detail sets the face count.

Does changing one tool change my copies?

No. Copies made with Shift+D or Alt+D get their own mesh and materials as soon as you edit one of them.
