24 vertices in. 1,574 steel parts out.
Draw a plane in Blender and get a complete, bolted steel walkway – grating, stairs, columns and railing.
A real walkway is hundreds of parts: beams, columns, braces, railing posts, grating bars, and every one of them bolted together. Modelling that by hand can take days, and when the layout changes you start over.
Industrial Walkway turns this around. You draw the floor plan as a simple plane, the modifier builds the steel. The platform below is a plane with 24 vertices. What comes out is 1,574 parts, 511 of them bolts.
What you draw: one plane, 24 vertices.
What you get: 1,574 parts, 511 bolts.
The plane is the only thing you ever edit. Columns, bracing, railing posts and every grating bar are rebuilt from it the moment you move a vertex.
A silhouette is easy. New in v0.2, every connection is built the way a steel fabricator would: plates, bolts with washers and nuts, fillet welds.
Mark the edges of a sloped face and it becomes a real stair: equal risers, stringers on the pitch line, treads bolted on end plates, a foot plate on the ground.
By day, I work as a 3D artist for an industrial manufacturer, turning real machinery into product visuals and assembly animations. That everyday experience goes into every asset I make: realistic proportions, clean topology, and tools that make work faster instead of more complicated. I hope this walkway saves you as much time as it saves me.
Thanks for checking it out! If you have questions or ideas for new features, just send me a message, updates are always included. And if the walkway helps your project, I'd be really happy about a quick rating ;)
Stand on any ground – every column finds the terrain below it.
Tune the railing – posts and rails follow every corner.
