Bug Lab – Insect Generator for Blender

Insect Generator builds anatomically correct insects in Blender with one click. Pick one of 68 real species from a picture gallery, from ladybugs and stag beetles to honey bees, hornets, house flies, praying mantises, grasshoppers, dragonflies and cicadas, then change anything you like: head, neck shield, thorax, waist, abdomen, legs, antennae, jaws, horns, wings and colors.

Every insect is real geometry with true anatomy: a segmented body, six jointed legs with thigh, shin, foot segments and claws, antennae of eleven real kinds, compound eyes, and wings that fold over the back or spread for flight. It stands on the ground at its real size, and one click scales it 10x or 100x for hero shots.
