ShipSmith

Browser-based procedural spaceship generator for Unity/Unreal

7,790PythonBuild: 10-14 daysa1studmuffin/SpaceshipGenerator

Generate unique, textured spaceship models from your browser and download FBX/GLTF packs ready for Unity and Unreal. Pick a seed, adjust sliders, preview renders, then export with LODs, colliders, and consistent PBR materials.

Tech stack

Next.js 14 (App Router) + FastAPI worker invoking headless Blender in Docker + Redis/RQ for jobs + S3/Cloudflare R2 for storage + Stripe + Clerk for auth

BYOK model

Not required

Freemium model

Free: 3 generations/day, low-poly cap, 1 preview render, GLTF export only, mandatory attribution file included. Pro: higher poly and texture sizes, FBX/GLTF/OBJ, batch generation (e.g., 50–200 seeds), LODs/colliders, preset styles, Unity/Unreal import guides, priority queue.

Deployment complexity

Medium — Requires running Blender headless in containerized workers for generation and rendering, plus a job queue and storage pipeline.

Why it qualifies
  • 7.7k GitHub stars validate clear demand for procedural spaceship generation.
  • CPU-bound headless Blender jobs make hosting feasible without GPUs.
  • Direct, specific buyer (indie Unity devs) with recurring asset needs and willingness to pay.
