Paperwright – Paper Generator for Blender

Paperwright is a paper generator that makes photorealistic paper props inside Blender: typed and handwritten letters, envelopes with stamps and postmarks, postcards, telegrams, newspapers you can open page by page, magazine pages, flyers, posters, menus, invoices, forms, memos, faxes, sticky notes, notebook pages, index cards, receipts, tickets and boarding passes, road maps, city maps, blueprints, sheet music, treasure maps, royal decrees, certificates and plain ruled, grid or dotted sheets.

Every paper is a real, thin sheet with true thickness and real size, printed with crisp generated text in 14 languages, handwriting, logos, photos and barcodes. Shape it the way paper really behaves: fold it in half, in thirds or like a road map, dog-ear a corner, curl it, roll it into a scroll, crumple it, or squeeze it into a paper ball. Tear, deckle, perforate or burn the edges.

Stamps
Stamps are editable layers you can stack, move and click to place on the paper: perforated postage stamps with round or wavy cancellations, inked rubber stamps (APPROVED, PAID, CONFIDENTIAL, PAR AVION and more, or your own words), embossed notary seals, foil stickers and printed images. Load your own PNG or SVG logo and use it as a rubber stamp, a die-cut sticker, an embossed seal, a postage stamp picture or a print. Wear, pressure, ink bleed, smudge, double strike and fading make every impression look stamped by hand.

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 my own stamp or logo?

Yes. Load any PNG, JPG or SVG file as a stamp layer. Use it as an inked rubber stamp in one color, a die-cut sticker, an embossed seal, the picture of a postage stamp or a full-color print, then click on the paper to place it.

Can I put my own text on the paper?

Yes. Type your own body text, names and addresses, pick a typeface, handwriting or your own font file, or load an image to print the whole page.

Can I animate the paper?

Yes. Animate keyframes a letter unfolding, folding, crumpling into a ball, opening back up, unrolling or an envelope flap opening. Fold, roll, crumple and ball can also be keyframed by hand.

Does it work in game engines?

Each paper is a single mesh with UVs and standard PBR materials, so it exports to FBX, OBJ or glTF for Unity, Unreal and Godot.
