Brigade builds the whole kit of a professional restaurant kitchen inside Blender: stock pots, sauce pots and rondeaus, fry pans, woks and cast-iron skillets, hotel pans and sheet pans, chef's knives and cleavers, butcher blocks and color-coded boards, ladles, spiders, tongs and whisks. Pick one of 56 items modeled on real commercial cookware, then change its size, handle, finish and lid, and it rebuilds live.

Nothing comes out looking like a catalog render unless you want it to. Choose New, Used or Old with one click: used pans get scouring swirls, water spots, fingerprints and fond; old ones get heat tint, burnt-on grease drips, a black burner ring, dents, rust on cast iron, worn nonstick and chipped enamel. Boards get knife scoring, stains and a dished middle. Wear, grease and dents each have their own slider, and New Seed moves every stain and scratch.

Every material is a photoreal PBR texture set on real-world UVs, so the look survives export to game engines.

One click, a new piece
Surprise Me picks a kitchen item, its finish, handle, size and condition: pots, pans, knives, boards and utensils.

Edit it in the sidebar
Click New, Used or Old, pick a finish by its picture and drag the dents: the pan rebuilds at once.

From new to old
Wear, grease and dents grow together: scrub swirls, heat tint, burnt-on drips, rust and dented rims.

Every finish
Stainless, aluminum, nonstick, carbon steel, cast iron, enamel and copper, each a real PBR material.
