I am working on the next library updates for Ornament Generator and Chain Generator. October’s plan is focused on giving you more ready-made detail to choose from: 100 new Art Deco ornaments and 50 new chains. Here are the planned dates and what each expansion is about.
Ornament Generator 1.5.0: 100 new Art Deco ornaments
The planned release date is . Version 1.5.0 will add 100 new ornaments in the Art Deco style.
Art Deco is a useful direction for decorative work that needs rhythm and a clear silhouette. Think about where repeated detail supports the shape of a model: a border around a panel, the edge of a piece of furniture, an architectural frame or a hero prop viewed up close. The expansion is intended to give you more choices when building that kind of visual language.
The currently available library contains 426 ornaments across 15 categories. The 100 new Art Deco ornaments are planned for version 1.5.0. I will share the final library when the update is released.
Chain Generator 1.1.0: 50 new chains
The next Chain Generator addon update is planned for . Version 1.1.0 will add 50 new chains to expand the available library.
When a chain is part of a close-up model, its shape changes the character of the whole object. A small link can support a piece of jewelry, while a stronger silhouette can suit a prop or a scene element. More choices mean more ways to find a chain that fits the project before spending time on the final materials and lighting.
The current release contains 253 chain assets across five categories. Its existing workflow lets you generate from selected edges, draw a path in 3D space or on a surface, close a curve and adjust procedural sagging. The October expansion will bring 50 new chains to this workflow.
October release plan
Ornament Generator 1.5.0 — 100 new Art Deco ornaments. Coming soon.
Chain Generator 1.1.0 — 50 new chains. Coming soon.
Both dates are planned release targets. The development roadmap is the place to check the latest status as the updates approach release.
