Drone Generator builds photorealistic drones inside Blender, from a palm-sized folding camera drone or a 5-inch freestyle FPV quad to a crop-spraying hexacopter, a caged inspection drone, a long-endurance surveillance UAV, a tilt-rotor VTOL or an unmanned helicopter. Pick one of 45 designs modeled on real drone types, then change anything: every part is a number, a choice or a switch, and the drone rebuilds live as you drag.

Three airframe families cover the real world of drones. Multirotors come in X, plus, wide, stretched, dead cat, H and Y layouts with 3 to 16 arms, coaxial motors, folding arms and ten body styles. Fixed-wing aircraft have six fuselages, six wing planforms, eight tail types, pusher, tractor, twin and jet engines, and quadplane, octoplane, tilt-rotor and tail-sitter VTOL. Helicopters can be single-rotor, coaxial or tandem, with tail rotors or shrouded fans.

Every propeller is its own object that spins with one switch, clockwise and counterclockwise like the real thing, and the whole drone can hover and sway. Navigation LEDs and strobes glow and blink.
