Ironclad – Tank Generator for Blender

ZEG in Modeling


See all my Blender addons on Superhive >

Ironclad builds complete military vehicles in Blender with one click: modern and WW2 main battle tanks, light tanks, tank destroyers, self-propelled guns, anti-aircraft vehicles, tracked and wheeled APCs and IFVs, military trucks and jeeps. Every vehicle is fully procedural, so you can change the hull, running gear, turret, gun and armour and watch it rebuild live.

Pick one of 57 ready designs from a picture gallery, or press Surprise for a new vehicle every time. Then reshape it with clear picture choices in the sidebar instead of long menus.

Real tracks and wheels

  • Tracks are wrapped around the sprocket, idler, road wheels and return rollers, with single pin, double pin, cast or rubber band links and a natural sag
  • Torsion bar, bogie, interleaved, Christie and hydropneumatic suspension, four road wheel styles
  • Wheeled 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles and trucks with off-road tyres, dual rear wheels and beadlock hubs

Turrets, guns and armour

  • Cast, welded, wedge, dome, IFV, open top, artillery, casemate and anti-aircraft turrets, plus remote weapon stations
  • Smoothbore, rifled, howitzer, autocannon, twin cannon and heavy machine gun barrels with muzzle brakes, evacuators and thermal sleeves
  • Side skirts, reactive armour blocks, slat cages, add-on plates, spare track links, sandbags, stowage bins, jerry cans, dozer blades and mine plows
