Blueish Asset-a Free Node Library

blueish in Simulations & Effects


Install

  1. Unzip the download. Keep the folder structure: the assets folder holds blender_assets.cats.txt and 11 .blend files.
  2. Edit → Preferences → File Paths → Asset Libraries → + and choose that assets folder. Name it "Blueish Assets".
  3. Set Import Method to Append (Reuse Data) so dragging the same group twice doesn't make copies.

Remote library (Blender 5.2+): Asset Libraries → + → Add Remote Asset Library → https://blender-assets.blueish.workers.dev. Nothing to download up front; each asset downloads the first time you use it.

Use a node group

  1. Open an Asset Browser (or the asset shelf in a node editor) and pick the Blueish Assets library.
  2. Choose a catalog on the left: Geometry Node (Mesh, Math, Generation, Curve, Utility), Material (Shader Tools), MFs (Material Functions), Compositor, Particle System, Rigging System, Effect (Flipbook, Slash) and the NPR materials.
  3. Drag the group into a Geometry Nodes, Shader or Compositor tree.
  4. Flipbook and Slash entries are objects: drag them into the 3D viewport.

Where to find the docs for a node

Every node has a page at blueish0930.github.io/Assets with its inputs, outputs, a short description and, for many, an example screenshot. Use the search box at the top.

Requirements

  • Blender 5.3 or newer for most files (they were saved in 5.3). Self Pruning and Spline Grammar open in 5.2.
  • Cycles or EEVEE. Some solvers (geodesics, linear solvers, packing) are heavy on big meshes: start with a low-poly test.

Troubleshooting

  • A catalog is empty or thumbnails are missing: make sure the library points at the folder that contains blender_assets.cats.txt, then click Refresh in the Asset Browser.
  • A compositor effect looks pink or empty: keep the folder structure. Compositor/Tex holds the textures some effects read.
  • Anything else: message me here on Superhive, or on X (@blueish0930).
