MakeTile Addon for Blender - Early Access
Added 2022-02-02 07:15:26 +0000 UTCMakeTile is a custom dungeon tile creator for Blender - the free, open source 3D modelling program. Using MakeTile you can simply and easily create 3D printable tiles of the exact dimensions you need, add procedurally generated, customizable materials to make them look like stone, wood, brick etc. hit the Make3D button and export them for printing. MakeTile can also be used for creating miniature bases. It supports round, oval, rectangular, rounded rectangular and polygonal (e.g. hex) bases.
Using MakeTile you can easily create a building interior for an encounter or a dungeon for your party to explore.
MakeTile is designed to be easy to use for total Blender newbies as well as by seasoned pros. It will feature its own asset manager so you'll be able to simply drag and drop a pre-defined tile into your scene, drag a material onto your tile, add some props and be ready to print. Or you can define the exact dimensions of your tile in an easy to understand menu. Currently MakeTile supports the OpenLOCK system of tiles and has generators for many different wall and floor types. It can also generate wall on floor type tiles and exterior wall on floor tiles.
These are some of the tile types that are available in the early access version of MakeTile. You can customise the dimensions, angles, direction of curve etc. of each tile to create exactly the tile you want.
The material system of MakeTile is procedural. This means that you can change each parameter of a texture in the MakeTile menu to create a material that looks like brick or stone or cobbles and then generate random variations of that material with a click. So no more identical tiles!
All these tiles were created with MakeTile's procedural material system that allows you to change aspects of a material such as the size of bricks or stone blocks, the location of beams, or the roughness of stone.
There is also a custom image material that you can add any height map to. All these tiles were made with freely downloaded CC0 licensed textures in about 5 minutes.
These tiles were all made from free textures downloaded from cc0textures.com. This is all real, printable geometry.
The best thing about MakeTile is that the tiles you create are yours. Whatever you create is unique to you and you own the designs. Want to use MakeTile to create tiles to print and sell? Go ahead. Want to use MakeTile to create tiles for your own Kickstarter or Patreon? Knock yourself out!
