Crater Generator
Can I animate the crater forming?
Yes. Use the Animate Impact button instead of Generate Crater — it bakes the deformation as Blender shape keys you can keyframe and render as animation.
Are the craters procedural or just baked presets?
Fully procedural. Every crater is generated from real physics equations (Schmidt-Holsapple, McGetchin, etc.). Change the seed and you get a completely different crater profile, even with identical input parameters.
Does it require a powerful GPU?
Any modern GPU works. The addon uses standard compute shaders — tested on NVIDIA (CUDA/OptiX), AMD (OpenCL) and Apple Metal. No special drivers needed beyond the latest update.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 3.6 through 5.x. Works on Windows, macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon) and Linux.
