Procedural Fence earns its place in the superhive library by covering four separate fence styles from a single add-on, and pairing detailed output with an optional low-poly mode that trades subdivisions for better performance.
Procedural Fence is a Blender add-on for generating fence models, creating a mesh without any overlapping geometry. It offers four fence types: a Diamond Shaped Fence, Diagonal Twisted Wires, a Simple Iron Rod Fence, and an Old Style Wooden Fence.
Controls sit in the add-on panel. Fence Length and Fence Height set the dimensions, though the actual measurements may vary slightly to avoid a fractional part in the design. The Scale Factor field adjusts the density, where a higher number produces a denser design. Thickness sets how thick the rod, wire or wood is. Add Sample Materials applies basic materials to the frame and the net or wood, which you can customize in the materials tab, and Use Low Poly Geometry builds simpler geometry with fewer vertices for better performance.
It works with Blender 4.0 and any version above, with listed compatibility up to Blender 5.0, and is released under the GPL license. Listed render engines are Blender-Internal, Blender-Game-Engine and Cycles. Documentation and a video tutorial are available.
Procedural Fence is best for blender users building fence models for outdoor scenes or games who want control over style, dimensions, thickness, density and poly count.
Procedural Fence is completely free to download and use.
Procedural Fence works with Blender 4.0 and any version above that, with listed compatibility spanning Blender 4.0 to 5.0. It is a Blender add-on and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. Once installed, you configure it through options in the add-on panel, setting fence length, height, thickness, scale factor and fence type. For step-by-step guidance across these Blender versions, the developer provides documentation and a video tutorial covering the functions and options.
Procedural Fence includes four fence designs: a Diamond Shaped Fence, Diagonal Twisted Wires, a Simple Iron Rod Fence, and an Old Style Wooden Fence. You pick one through the Fence Type option in the add-on panel. Alongside the style, you can set the fence length and height, adjust the Scale Factor to control how dense the design is, and set the thickness of the rod, wire or wood. Enabling Add Sample Materials also applies basic materials to the frame and the net or wood, which you can customize later in the materials tab.
Procedural Fence lists Blender-Internal, Blender-Game-Engine and Cycles as its render engines. The add-on creates a mesh without overlapping geometry, and it can add basic sample materials for the frame and the net or wood when that option is enabled. You can change or customize those materials afterwards in the materials tab. If you plan to render in a specific engine, the developer's documentation and video tutorial walk through the available options so you can set up the fence to suit your scene.
Procedural Fence offers a Use Low Poly Geometry option that builds the fence with fewer subdivisions, producing a lower vertex count and better performance. According to the developer, it still looks good in this mode. If you want more detailed and perfect geometry, you should disable this option. The Scale Factor field separately controls the density of the fence design, where a higher number makes a denser design, though the actual measurements also depend on the fence length and height you set.
