In nuce: The creative minds at Meshingun Studio have unveiled their book generator. The procedural tool allows users to fill entire bookshelves with user-generated reading material. The book generator is available for Unreal Engine 4 & 5 and costs 37.29 US dollars. The book generator was developed as part of the development of the Gothic Megapack for the Unreal Engine (Digital Production reported on 25 February 2021). Controls that users can turn to create the best books in the bibliophile world: Colour, position, rotation and scaling, orientation in the environment.

Digital Production has reported on book generators several times in the past – at that time, however, primarily on those for Blender (see below). By the way: Once you’ve generated your private library using book generators, you’ll want bookshelves to house your reading material. We also have a (Houdini) generator for this purpose.
