About Random Starship

Random Starship creates spaceships and starships inside Blender using randomized controls. It was originally a utility for Random Flow but also functions as a standalone plugin. Users define ship length by adding hull sections, each with independent resolution and detail settings. Plating properties in the redo panel let you switch between a simple base mesh and a detailed version. The Limit Smooth option restricts autosmooth on plate details and marks plates and wing sections with UV seams, facilitating lighter UV maps. Mesh smoothing and autosmooth settings enable angular or rounded ship shapes. The add‑on is compatible with Blender 3.6 through 5.0 and renders with both Cycles and Eevee. It is distributed under the GPL license, with documentation and demo videos provided by the developer.

Frequently asked questions

Does Random Starship work with Blender 5.0?

Yes. Random Starship supports Blender versions 3.6 through 5.0 and works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines.

Do I need Random Flow to use Random Starship?

No. Although it was built as a utility for Random Flow, Random Starship can operate as a standalone add‑on without Random Flow installed.

Is Random Starship free to use?

The catalog lists Random Starship as free and it is distributed under the GPL license; no purchase is required for basic use.

How does the Limit Smooth feature help with UV unwrapping?

Limit Smooth limits autosmooth on specific plate areas and marks those areas with UV seams, which helps generate a lighter UV map that can be unwrapped quickly.
