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

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. Hereโ€™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 โ€” without writing a single line of code. This is easily one of the fastest ways to create interactive DayZ assets right now. ๐Ÿ”ง 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

I Made a DayZ Mod in 20 Minutes Using AI (ChatGPT + Meshy + Blender)

I used AI to go from zero to a working DayZ mod in about 20 minutes. Here's the full workflow: Used ChatGPT to generate a reference image for the model concept Used Meshy to turn that into a low-poly 3D model ready for game use Imported into Blender, set up the geometry and LODs with DayZ Geometry Maker Exported directly to P3D In-game and working This is genuinely the fastest I've ever gone from idea to playable DayZ asset. ๐Ÿ”ง Tools Used: Meshy โ€” AI 3D model generator (get your first month for ยฃ1 instead of ยฃ16): https://www.meshy.ai/?via=phlanka&utm_source=meshy&utm_medium=referral-program&utm_content=TVKSAB&share_type=invite-friends DayZ Geometry Maker โ€” free open source Blender extension for P3D export: https://github.com/Phlanka/DayZ-Geometry-Maker DayZ Texture Tools โ€” texture baking and PAA 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 a DayZ modder and haven't tried AI-assisted workflows yet, this video will change how you think about asset creation. #DayZ #DayZModding #AIModding #Meshy #Blender #GameDev #DayZMods

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: โ€ข Texture Paint masking โ€ข Stencil brush workflow โ€ข Blending multiple materials โ€ข 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.
