Häufig gestellte Fragen

Procedural weapon generation is a method of creating weapons using algorithms and predefined rules, rather than manually designing each element. This approach allows for dynamic and random variations, which is highly relevant in game development and 3D modeling, where large quantities of diverse, unique assets are often required, such as in weapon design for video games or simulations.

This course teaches you how to create weapons procedurally using Blender 4.4. You will learn the fundamentals of modeling, assembling, and automating weapon generation through the use of Geometry Nodes and Python scripting. The course includes practical examples of procedural workflows, from basic design setup to advanced automation and exporting techniques, tailored for game developers and 3D artists.

After completing this course, you will be able to generate diverse weapon models procedurally, implement design variations with Geometry Nodes, automate processes with Python scripting, and export modular assets for use in other applications or game engines. You will have the skills to create a streamlined and efficient weapon generation pipeline.

This course assumes basic familiarity with Blender and 3D modeling concepts. While no prior knowledge of procedural generation or Python is required, a general understanding of Blender’s interface and 3D asset creation will help you get the most out of the course. Beginners in Blender may need to review the basics of modeling and UI navigation.
