Bigboard – Billboard Generator for Blender
Rooftop, highway and LED billboards with your own images
Billboard Generator builds complete, real-size advertising structures in one click: highway monopole bulletins, back-to-back and V-builds, three-sided boards, rooftop spectaculars, wallscapes, roadside posters on posts, city lights, bus shelters, mall totems, hanging screens and sidewalk A-boards.
Every board is fully procedural. Pick one of 44 designs from the picture gallery, then change the structure, display, size, layout, catwalks, ladder and lights live in the sidebar.
Put your own poster, product shot or render on any face with Fill, Fit or Stretch, or use one of 16 generated ad designs with your own headline as sharp mesh lettering.
44 billboard designs
Highway bulletins, rooftop spectaculars, wallscapes, roadside posters, bus shelters, mall screens and A-boards, each one click away.
One board, every display
The same bulletin as printed vinyl, a paper poster, a backlit lightbox, an LED screen and a rotating tri-vision.
Surprise Me
Every click is a new board: structure, size, ads, lights and weathering all randomized.
Pick, click, done
The real sidebar in Blender: click a design or change the layout and the billboard rebuilds live.

Questions
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
Can I put my own image or video frame on the board?
Yes. Load any image file (PNG, JPG, EXR...) per face with Fill, Fit or Stretch. Your file is never modified. For video, load an image sequence or movie into the face material afterwards; the face is a normal UV-mapped mesh.
Does it work in game engines?
Yes. Each billboard is one mesh with photo PBR textures (CC0) and a UV-mapped ad face. Convert to Mesh, then export to FBX or glTF for Unity, Unreal or Godot.
Are the sizes real?
Yes. Standard sizes include US 14x48 ft bulletins and 30-sheet posters, UK 48 and 96-sheet, 4x3, German 18/1, city light and spectaculars, all in meters. You can also type any width and height.
Does it work in EEVEE?
Yes, in both EEVEE and Cycles. LED screens, lightboxes and lamp heads glow, and you can add real spot lights that aim at the face.
