Why we like it

Stands out for letting you control stone size with random variation around a set value and displace stones from their base, along with shape randomness and per-stone materials — options the official Cell Fracture add-on doesn't offer.

What is Procedural Stone Wall Generator?

Procedural Stone Wall Generator works on rectangular mesh objects such as walls and floors. Point it at one, run the add-on, and you get a stoned version of the same object. Beyond walls, it can build roads, pavements, gardens or anything else made of stones.

Customization covers the size and geometry of the stones, displacements, texture scale and stone colors. You can control the randomness of the stone blocks to create a more regular structure or looser variation, and the add-on assigns suitable materials to each stone. Every stone becomes a separate object while the overall polygon count stays in check, which makes later fine-tuning easier.

Updates happen in real time, so you can watch stones being created and escape the operation if you want to change parameters. A run can take several minutes depending on wall size and computer specs — one example wall finished in around three minutes on a mid-range machine with 8 GB of RAM. Object size, stone size and stone quality have the biggest impact on run time, and using linked duplicates or a smaller object speeds things up.

Who is Procedural Stone Wall Generator best for?

Frequently asked questions

How is Procedural Stone Wall Generator different from Blender's Cell Fracture add-on?

Procedural Stone Wall Generator uses a different algorithm from Blender's official Cell Fracture add-on. It lets you control the size of the stones with random variations around a given value, while Cell Fracture blocks can range from large to very small in the same set without an easy way to manage that. It also offers displacement and shape randomness options and assigns materials to each stone, neither of which Cell Fracture provides. The trade-off is scope: Cell Fracture works on any object, whereas this add-on works only on rectangular mesh objects.

Can Procedural Stone Wall Generator work on any object shape?

Procedural Stone Wall Generator works only on rectangular mesh objects, such as walls and floors. You take a rectangular object, run the add-on, and get a stoned version of it. That said, the output isn't limited to walls — you can use the same approach to create roads, pavements, gardens or anything else made of stones. Each stone is turned into a separate object while the overall polygon count is kept in check, so you can go back and fine-tune the design later if needed.

Why does Procedural Stone Wall Generator take several minutes to run?

Procedural Stone Wall Generator can take several minutes to run depending on the size of your wall and your computer specs — one example wall completed in around three minutes on a mid-range machine with 8 GB of RAM. Object size, stone size and stone quality have the biggest impact on run time. To speed things up you can use linked duplicates or start with a smaller object. Updates happen in real time, so you can watch the stones being created and escape the operation if you want to adjust the parameters.

Is Procedural Stone Wall Generator free to use?

Procedural Stone Wall Generator is listed as free here in our catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions of use, check the developer's page from 5 Minutes Blender, since those details can change over time. Documentation is available to help you get started, and the add-on's options let you control stone size, geometry, displacement, texture scale and colors, along with the randomness of the stone blocks.
