Gamepad Generator

Gamepad Generator builds complete, detailed game controllers with one click from Shift+A > Mesh > Gamepad. From flat 8-bit bricks and 16-bit ovals to crescent six-button pads, three-handled pads, twin-stick controllers with touchpads, trackpad pads, keypad pads, falling-block handhelds, clear acrylic pads and tablet handhelds with a screen: every design is generated procedurally and stays editable.

Every part is its own object with its own settings: body shape, d-pad, face buttons, sticks, trackpads, touchpad, screen, keypad, menu buttons, bumpers, triggers, back paddles, light bar, screws and cable. Change a shape, a size or a layout and the gamepad rebuilds live. Sticks and triggers pivot at their hinge, so you can pose and animate them.

Each part has its own color, finish (glossy, satin, matte, soft touch, translucent, clear acrylic, metallic, chrome) and pattern (stipple, grip dots, speckle, camo, marble, carbon, wood, metal flakes). A Condition panel takes any gamepad from brand new to used, worn or vintage, with yellowed plastic, scratches, grime in the gaps, polished edges and rubbed-off labels.

Installation

In Blender open Edit, Preferences, Get Extensions, then use Install from Disk and pick gamepad_generator-1.0.0.zip.

Usage

• In Object Mode press Shift+A and choose Mesh, Gamepad, then pick a preset. You can also use the Gamepad tab in the 3D viewport sidebar (N).
• Change the preset, or press Random Design for a new controller and Random Colors for a new color scheme.
• Under Body pick the body shape and adjust its size, lobes, grips and bend.
• Under Control Layout choose what goes in each spot (d-pad, stick, buttons or trackpad, plus a center touchpad, screen, keypad or emblem), then fine-tune each control in its own panel.
• Under Colors and Materials pick a part, then set its color, finish and pattern.
• Under Condition choose Brand New, Used, Worn or Vintage, or set yellowing, dirt, scratches, edge wear and label fade yourself. Each material's Wear scales them.
• Click a part in the Parts list to select it. Rotate a stick or trigger object to pose it.
• Use Make Static to turn the gamepad into plain objects, or Delete to remove it with its materials.

Switch the viewport to Material Preview or Rendered to see the materials. Lower Shell Detail under Detail and Finish for smoother shells.

Does it use image textures?

No. All geometry and all materials are procedural, so there are no files to pack or relink. It works on Blender 4.2 and newer and is tested on 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Are the controllers copies of real products?

No. The presets are generic designs inspired by common controller families, without logos or brand names. You can shape them into anything you need.

Can I edit the result by hand?

Yes. Every part is its own object. Press Make Static when you are done generating and edit the meshes like any other object.
