Vitrage Generator is in Beta and fully functional, with the developer noting that some processes may run slower due to complex calculations. Performance optimization is a stated priority for future updates.
Vitrage Generator is a procedural stained glass tool for Blender, built on Geometry Nodes and Shader Nodes. It turns an image into a stained glass design, and it is not limited to standard window shapes — the system works with almost any custom silhouette or mesh. The workflow is short: run the script, UV unwrap your object however you like, choose the image to convert, and the design is generated.
The generator includes multiple adjustable settings so you can control the final look. Examples include glass piece size, glass piece shape, resolution of the inner and outer frame geometry, random color variation, and frame color customization. This makes it suitable for both realistic cathedral-style windows and highly stylized fantasy artwork. An Advanced Glass Shader generates realistic light caustics projected onto surrounding surfaces based on the scene's lighting direction.
Vitrage Generator is currently in a Beta phase. The addon is fully functional, though some processes may run slower due to the complex calculations involved. Performance optimization and incorporating user suggestions are stated goals for future updates. A demo video is available, and documentation is included.
Vitrage Generator - Create Stained Glass In Seconds is best for blender users creating realistic cathedral-style windows or highly stylized fantasy stained glass artwork.
Vitrage Generator - Create Stained Glass In Seconds is completely free to download and use.
Vitrage Generator lists support for Blender versions 5.0 through 5.1. It uses Geometry Nodes and Shader Nodes, and the render engine used is Cycles. If you are working outside that version range, check the developer's page for the current compatibility details before purchasing, since the addon is still in its Beta phase and the supported range may change as future updates arrive.
Vitrage Generator follows a short workflow.

The system is not limited to standard window shapes and works with almost any custom silhouette or mesh. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available if you want to see the process before setting it up yourself.
Vitrage Generator is currently in a Beta phase. The addon is fully functional, though some processes may run slower because of the complex calculations involved.
