Wayfinder Sign Generator

Design smarter. Render cleaner. Build signs with purpose. Pass the message!

From grimy alley warnings to polished hotel room plaques, Wayfinder Sign Generator gives you total control over signage in your 3D worlds.
Modular, script-powered, and renderer-safe, this toolkit lets you write directly on your panel surfaces, layer grunge, customize frames, and mix pictograms - all with zero texture baking or LIE

At the core of this flexibility is a smart surface architecture: each panel includes a Front Panel, an Additional Writing Area (used for text by transparency), and a Dirt Layer.
You can blend these independently for full control over visual style and material logic.

Write what you want, where you want:

Two very intuitive scripts are included, allowing you to write any text, in any font you own - either directly onto the Front Panel, or, for more flexibility, onto the transparent Additional Writing Area placed between the front and the dirt layer.

This second method offers advanced blending modes: solid, weathered, faded, or even textured. You can adjust these at any time after the text is added.

A unique feature lets you write on any flat surface in your scene, thanks to the included universal Free Writing Panel prop or to material presets.
And here’s the trick: you can make the panel itself completely transparent, so that only the text appears, as if it were painted or printed directly on the scene surface behind.

In both cases, just pick a font, adjust color and opacity, and your message is ready.

And because only the cutout opacity is driven by the text, all other material properties remain fully editable, so you can endlessly tweak the look and feel of your message without ever baking anything or rewriting it.

Build signs your way - fast or fine-tuned:

You can use the 17 preassembled signs, all provided in clean and decay versions, or build your own from scratch.

- Mix modular components: poles, screws, connectors, and panels. Over 100 individual props are included to let you build exactly what your scene requires.

- Add dirt, rust, or weathering effects to the front, the back, or both, using 38 partial material presets designed for this purpose - fully customizable after load (color, opacity, etc.)

- Insert pictograms as smart props using opacity maps - more than 130 patterns included, clean or damaged, aligned or off-kilter.
(Note: pictograms don’t carry their own dirt layer, but if placed under the panel’s Dirt Layer, they’ll inherit its weathering naturally.)

Beyond the system - full freedom with individual props:

All panel shapes (rectangle, square, triangle, diamond, circle) are also available as standalone props, ready to use in any context. Resize them, rotate them, and place them wherever you want: on a mailbox, a fence, a doorframe, a wall...

Add house numbers, street names, locker or mailbox labels, \'No Trespassing\'; signs, hotel door plaques, warehouse markers, zone IDs, public signage, sci-fi caution labels - or go large-scale with full billboards, dystopian alerts, or sprawling industrial ads.

The partial material presets and scripts work whether the panel is part of a full sign or used on its own. You keep full control over text, grunge, and style, no baking, no tricks, just direct feedback.

Anywhere a sign is flat - or if any flat surface in your scene calls for a message - Wayfinder Sign Generator is here for you.

You don\'t need this tool unless you care about quality, speed, and storytelling.
