Generate random shapes in Blender

Overview

This is a Blender add-on that creates random shapes. This add-on currently works with Blender 2.8 - 2.83

Installation

Download the zip. Open Blender. Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. Click the install button at the top and navigate to the zip. Random Shapes is in the "n" menu (hot key n when in 3D viewport) under the tab Random Curves.

Cut Settings:

• Split Faces
  • Should the mesh selected have its faces separated for cutting or not.
• Number of Cuts
  • The number of cuts that are made to the selected object.
• Number of Recursive Cuts
  • The number of recursive cuts that are made to each generated object.
  • After the initial number of cuts are made, each generated object will be cut again by the Number of Cuts. This process is repeated for each of the Number of Recursive Cuts specified. Higher values here can cause generation to take a long time.
• Chance of Recursive Cuts
  • The percent chance that an object will be recursively cut.
• Make Only Cubes
  • When checked only rectangles are generated.
  • When unchecked random polygons are created.
• Cut on:
