Pottery Generator - Vase, Pot & Ceramic Generator for Blender
add-on
Realistic vases, jars, planters, bowls, mugs and teapots: 56 designs, 18 real glazes, kintsugi, cracks and aging. Live sliders, editable profile, PBR materials for games.
Pottery Generator builds realistic vases, jars, pots, planters, bowls, mugs and teapots in one click. Pick one of 56 real designs from a picture gallery in the sidebar, then change anything: the side profile, size, rim, foot, handles, spout, lid, clay body and glaze. The pot rebuilds live while you drag a slider.
Glazes look like the real thing. Celadon, tenmoku, chun, shino, crackle, raku, crystalline, flambé, ash, salt and luster glazes pool in the hollows, break on the edges and run in drips over bare clay. Add painted bands, gold lines, kintsugi seams, hairline or deep cracks, chipped rims, dirt, lime crust and moss for old garden pots and excavated finds.
