Chandelier Generator
Procedural chandeliers from crystal classics to modern designs
Chandelier Generator builds photorealistic chandeliers inside Blender, from a gilded ballroom piece dripping with crystal to a mid-century Sputnik, a rustic wagon wheel or a cloud of hand-blown glass bubbles. Pick one of 41 designs modeled on real chandeliers, then change anything: every part is a number, a choice or a switch, and the chandelier rebuilds live as you drag.
Eleven structure styles cover the real world of chandeliers: classic arms, Empire baskets, crystal cascades, rings and wagon wheels, Sputniks, pendant clusters, branching designs, orbs and lanterns, drum shades, alabaster bowls and linear bars. Each style has its own controls for tiers, arm shapes, ring profiles, cage shapes, cluster arrangements and more.
Crystal is cut, not faked: pendalogues, almonds, octagons, prisms, icicles, stars and eight more cuts hang on pinned strands, swags and curtains, with rainbow fire in Cycles. Candles, candle sleeves, Edison and globe bulbs with real filaments, LEDs and twelve kinds of shade light it, and real light objects light your room with optional candle flicker.

Questions
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.
Does it light the scene?
Yes. Bulbs, flames and LEDs glow, and the Lighting tab adds real light objects, one per light or a single one, with power, size, color temperature and an optional candle flicker.
Can I edit the result as a normal mesh?
Yes. Convert to Mesh in the Parts & Export tab turns the chandelier into plain mesh objects, joined or one per part, ready to edit or export.
Does it work in EEVEE?
Yes, in both Cycles and EEVEE. Cycles gives the most realistic crystal, with rainbow fire from dispersion.
