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 โ 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. Hereโs 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 โ without writing a single line of code. This is easily one of the fastest ways to create interactive DayZ assets right now. ๐ง Tools Used: Tripo AI โ generate 3D models fast: https://studio.tripo3d.ai?via=Phlanka&invite_code=BK7OTF DayZ Geometry Maker โ Blender addon (geometry + auto scripting): https://github.com/Phlanka/DayZ-Geometry-Maker DayZ Texture Tools โ texture pipeline for Blender: https://beta.phlanka.com/ Limited offer โ 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 โ scripting โ and lets you focus purely on creating. #DayZ #DayZModding #DayZMods #Blender #GameDev #AI3D #Tripo #DayZTools #Modding #DayZTutorial

Techniques covered in this video: โข Texture Paint masking โข Stencil brush workflow โข Blending multiple materials โข 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.
