I Made a DayZ Storage Crate in 20 Minutes Using AI (Tripo + Blender + Geometry Maker)

I made a fully working storage crate in DayZ in under 20 minutes — with zero manual scripting. Everything from interaction to storage functionality was automatically generated, so the entire process is faster, cleaner, and way more beginner-friendly than traditional DayZ modding. Here’s the full workflow: Generated the 3D model using Tripo AI Imported into Blender Used DayZ Geometry Maker to handle geometry, LODs, and setup Automatically generated all scripts for opening + storage Exported to P3D Loaded in-game and fully working The crate opens, stores items, and works exactly how you'd expect — without writing a single line of code. This is easily one of the fastest ways to create interactive DayZ assets right now. 🔧 Tools Used: Tripo AI — generate 3D models fast: https://studio.tripo3d.ai?via=Phlanka&invite_code=BK7OTF DayZ Geometry Maker — Blender addon (geometry + auto scripting): https://github.com/Phlanka/DayZ-Geometry-Maker DayZ Texture Tools — texture pipeline for Blender: https://beta.phlanka.com/ Limited offer — use code GEOMETRY for 25% off all lifetime tools Expires 19 May 2026 If you're into DayZ modding, this workflow removes one of the biggest barriers — scripting — and lets you focus purely on creating. #DayZ #DayZModding #DayZMods #Blender #GameDev #AI3D #Tripo #DayZTools #Modding #DayZTutorial

Blend Materials Using Masks & Edge Detection

In this Blender tutorial I show how to blend two different materials together using texture painting and masks. I used a DayZ weapon model where a metal material is painted over a patterned base texture to create realistic wear and surface variation. Techniques covered in this video: • Texture Paint masking • Stencil brush workflow • Blending multiple materials • Edge detection masks(Using Bevel and Dot Product) This workflow is useful for game assets, weapon skins, props, and any model where you want procedural or painted edge wear.
