EZ Lumber: Quick and Easy Lumber Creation for Blender

by | Oct 26, 2024 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

EZ Lumber is a streamlined Blender plugin designed to simplify the creation of 3D lumber objects with accurate, real-world dimensions. Perfect for architects, woodworkers, and 3D artists, EZ Lumber makes it easy to quickly generate standard lumber sizes used in construction, woodworking, and design projects.

Key Features:

  • Accurate Dimensions: Generate lumber pieces based on standard nominal sizes (e.g., 1×4, 2×6, 4×4), using actual dimensions derived from industry standards.
  • Customizable Length: Define the exact length of each lumber piece, ranging from 0.1 to 20 feet, with seamless conversion from feet to Blender’s internal metric system.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Easily select the desired lumber size from a convenient dropdown menu, and specify length directly in feet, for faster modeling and precision.
  • Automatic Mesh Creation: EZ Lumber automatically generates mesh objects that are scaled to match real-world measurements, ensuring your 3D models align with practical dimensions.
  • Versatile Use Cases: Ideal for any project that involves realistic representation of lumber, including architecture, furniture design, and construction modeling.

Supported Lumber Sizes:

  • 1-inch Nominal Lumber (actual 3/4 inch thick): Sizes like 1×2, 1×4, 1×6, etc.
  • 2-inch Nominal Lumber (actual 1-1/2 inch thick): Popular sizes like 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, and more.
  • 4-inch and 6-inch Nominal Lumber (actual 3-1/2 to 5-1/2 inch thick): Including 4×4, 4×6, and 6×6 for larger structural pieces.

Who Is This For?

EZ Lumber is designed for professionals and hobbyists alike, offering both simplicity and precision for creating wood-based 3D models. Whether you’re planning a furniture build, an interior design layout, or creating a realistic outdoor scene, EZ Lumber makes the task fast and efficient.
