Installing the rock generator add-on

The first step to creating rocks is to enable a pre-installed add-on called rock generator. It’s a part of a larger add-on called Add Mesh: Extra Objects.

Let’s jump into a new Blender scene. At the top, you’ll find the Edit tab. Click on it and go to Preferences:

A new window will pop up. On the left side, click on Add-ons and search for Add Mesh: Extra Objects.

The add-on will be shown in the search results. Click on the left box next to the add-on’s name to have the add-on enabled.

Basically, that’s it – our add-on is installed. We can now use it to add rock objects to our scene.
