Big Rig – Truck Generator for Blender

Semi trucks, cab-overs, trailers, tankers and dump trucks

See all my Blender addons >

Big Rig builds detailed semi trucks and their trailers in one click, in real-world meters. Pick one of 44 ready-made trucks: aero and classic long-nose sleepers, European and Japanese cab-overs, day cabs and bobtails, pulling dry vans, reefers, curtainsiders, livestock trailers, flatbeds with lumber, steel coils, beams, pipes or crates, step decks, lowboys, fuel and chemical tankers, dry bulk tanks, car carriers, container chassis, end dumps and doubles. Rigid box trucks, refrigerated trucks, stake beds, water tankers, dump trucks and concrete mixers are there too.

Then change anything and the truck rebuilds live: cab type, hood, sleeper and roof height, wheelbase, axles, super singles, trailer kind, length and axles, load, bumper, grille, headlights, stacks, fuel tanks, mirrors, visor, light bar, horns, fairings, wheels, livery and colors.

Every truck is modeled to be looked at up close: real window openings with an interior behind them, chrome stacks with heat shields, polished fuel tanks with straps and steps, a fifth wheel with air and electric coils, leaf springs and air bags, landing gear, lock rods and hinges on the doors, conspicuity tape, mud flaps and clearance lamps.

Wheels, steering, the trailer angle, tipping and the mixer drum are animated through drivers, so they play back in real time without a rebuild.

Dump bodies that tip

One animatable slider raises the body and the telescopic ram extends with it, without a rebuild.

Steer, roll and swing

Steer, Drive and Trailer Angle turn the wheels and swing the trailers on the fifth wheel and dolly.

Questions

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Can I use the trucks in a game engine?

Yes. Set Detail to Low, then use Convert to Mesh. The meshes have UVs and the origin on the ground, and trailers, wheels and tipper bodies are separate objects. The livery paint is a procedural pattern, so bake it to an image texture before exporting to FBX or glTF.

Are these real truck brands?

No. The trucks are inspired by real kinds of trucks but carry no brand names, badges or logos, so you can use the renders in commercial work.

Can I animate the trailer and the dump body?

Yes. Drive, Steer, Trailer Angle and Tip are animatable and only move the wheels, the trailers and the dump body through drivers, so keyframes play back in real time.
