Roof Generator for Blender
Roofs of every type and culture with real tiles
Roof Generator builds real roofs in Blender with every tile, slate and thatch bundle modelled, from an English thatched cottage or a Parisian mansard to a Japanese temple, a Thai temple with chofa horns, a Russian onion dome or a sawtooth factory. Pick one of 46 culture presets, or choose a roof type and a plan, and change anything: the roof rebuilds live as you drag a slider.
23 roof types cover the world of architecture: gable, hip, half-hip, Dutch gable, mansard, gambrel, saltbox, shed, flat, butterfly, M-shaped, sawtooth, monitor, pagoda, Thai tiered, saddle, spire, barrel, dome, onion, cone, bell and yurt. They sit on rectangle, L, T, U, H, cross, courtyard, polygon and round plans, or on the outline of your own building with Roof from Selection.
Every covering is PBR and works in game engines: clay, Spanish, Roman and Japanese kawara tiles, Chinese tube tiles, pantiles, natural and stone slate, wood shingles and shakes, asphalt, fish-scale, standing seam, corrugated and box profile metal, bamboo, straw, reed and palm thatch, turf, sedum, gravel and membrane, with photo textures from Poly Haven.
46 roofs from every culture
Thatched cottages, mansards, temples, pagodas, onion domes, barns, yurts and factories. Pick a design and change anything.
Drag a slider, watch it rebuild
Every setting rebuilds the roof live: pitch, overhang, plan, profile, covering and details.
23 roof types
Gable, hip, mansard, gambrel, saltbox, butterfly, sawtooth, pagoda, Thai tiered, spire, dome, onion, bell, yurt and more on the same house.
Real tiles, PBR materials

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 roofs in game engines?
Yes. All materials are PBR (base color, roughness, normal maps), and Low detail turns the covering into one textured surface. Convert to Mesh, then export as FBX or glTF.
Can it roof my own building?
Yes. Select your building mesh and press Roof from Selection: the roof follows its outline, and every roof type and covering still works.
