Studio Forge – Recording Studio Generator for Blender

Layout engine for pro recording studios with gear and cabling

See all my Blender addons >

Studio Forge builds a complete professional recording studio in Blender from a layout, not from a single model: rooms, doors and windows, acoustic treatment, lighting, cable routing, and every piece of gear that belongs in each room. Pick a layout from the picture gallery, a hip-hop flagship with control room, live room, vocal booth, producer room, lounge and machine room, a tracking studio, a mastering suite, a podcast room, an Atmos mix stage or a whole studio complex, then change anything.

Any floor plan, one click

Hip-hop flagship, tracking studio, producer suite, studio complex, podcast room and Atmos stage. Each layout is a different set of rooms, doors and glass.

Four lighting moods

Cove LEDs, downlights, accent strips, neon and the on-air lamp follow Recording, Mixing, Lounge and Showcase.

Finishes and 16 PBR walls

Oak, black-out, industrial, walnut, white and velvet looks, with plywood, concrete, tile, stone and planks on the walls.

Surprise: a new studio every time

Press Surprise and the layout, rooms, gear, acoustics and cable runs are all planned again from a new seed.

Surprise: a new studio every time

The layout engine

  • Rooms attach to each other by side and alignment, so any floor plan can be described; doors, splayed view windows, glass walls, open arches and cable passes are derived from the room kinds
  • Ten layout templates, six finishes, six genres and four lighting moods; every seed gives a new studio
  • Edit each room: size, ceiling, floor, walls, connection to its neighbour, console size, monitors, racks, couch, instruments, treatment

Automatic acoustics

  • Corner bass traps, first-reflection absorbers calculated by the mirror method, a ceiling cloud over the listening position, quadratic-residue and skyline diffusers, slat walls, foam booths, curtains and baffles
  • A reverberation report per room (Sabine RT60 at 500 Hz against the target of the room kind)

Real wiring

  • Floor trenches with steel lids and separate audio, power and data lanes, cable passes through the double walls, wall outlets with conduit risers, tie-line wall boxes, hanging cables with plugs that lie on the floor and drop into open hatches
  • A power and circuit estimate from the gear that is in the studio

Lighting

  • Indirect cove LEDs, downlights, track spots, LED panels, accent strips behind the slats, pendants, neon and red on-air lamps, all dimmed by the lighting mood

Gear and furniture (invented brands modeled on real gear types)

  • Large-format consoles, controllers, flush mains, nearfields, subwoofers, racks with patchbays, tube and dynamic microphones on stands, workstations, grand and upright pianos, drum kits, amps, sofas, desks, plaque walls and plants
  • PBR photo textures from Poly Haven (CC0)
