Lepido – Butterfly Generator for Blender
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
Are the butterflies animated?
Yes. Turn on Animate in the Pose tab: flying butterflies get a looping wing beat with a bobbing body, resting ones slowly open and close their wings. It is plain keyframes on a small rig, so it needs no scripts and exports with the model.
Can I use them in a game engine?
Yes. Each butterfly is one mesh with a simple rig and PBR materials (color with transparency, roughness, normal detail). Use the Low detail and 512 px texture settings for crowds, or Convert to Mesh for a static model.
Can I make my own butterfly?
Yes. Every wing shape number, the six pattern colors, the body and the antennae can be changed, and any species' pattern can be painted on another species' wings.
Does it work in EEVEE?
Yes, in both Cycles and EEVEE.
