Shipping Container Generator builds every kind of shipping container inside Blender, at its real ISO size, with real corrugation, corner castings, locking bars, cams, hinges, forklift pockets and a CSC plate. Pick one of 41 presets: a 20 or 40 ft dry box, a high cube, a 45 or 53 ft domestic, a reefer with its machinery unit and power cable, a clip-on genset, an open top under its tarp, a flat rack with folding ends, an ISO tank in its frame, an offshore basket, a swap body or an air cargo ULD. Then change anything and it rebuilds live.

The doors really open. Each door leaf, flat rack end and café flap turns on its own hinge, so a slider swings it and a keyframe animates it, from shut to folded back at 270 degrees.

Every container gets a fictional shipping line livery: a name, a generic logo, an ISO 6346 style container number with a correct check digit, a size and type code, weights and warning labels, all painted into one texture. Type your own name and code. Rust, faded paint, dirt, dents and rust holes age it from factory new to scrap.

Switch to Yard and the same settings fill a terminal: blocks of stacks with mixed 20 and 40 ft boxes, reefer rows, specials on top, reach-stacker lanes and a random line mix, with every copy sharing one mesh so big yards stay light. Switch to Building and the containers become a home, a two storey cantilever house, a garden studio, a site office, a pop-up café, a shop or a row of self storage units, with cut windows, glass, timber cladding, roofs, decks and stairs.
