BLUEISH ASSETS · FREE NODE LIBRARY
534 Blender node assets, free for everyone
This is my whole node library: Geometry Nodes, shaders, material functions, compositor effects, a particle system, a rigging system, NPR materials and VFX. It is one Asset Browser library in 11 .blend files. No add-on to install: add the folder as an asset library and drag what you need into your node tree.
Everything here is also free on GitHub. If the library saves you time, buying it here is how you support me and pays for new nodes. Thank you!
- GitHub (free download): github.com/blueish0930/Assets
- Searchable docs for every node, with inputs, outputs and examples: blueish0930.github.io/Assets
- Remote asset library for Blender 5.2+:
https://blender-assets.blueish.workers.dev
Quick start
- Unzip the download (or clone the GitHub repo).
- Blender: Edit → Preferences → File Paths → Asset Libraries → +, and pick the unzipped
assetsfolder (the one withblender_assets.cats.txt). - Open an Asset Browser and choose the Blueish Assets library. The catalogs on the left are the categories below.
- Drag a node group into a Geometry Nodes, Shader or Compositor tree. Flipbook and Slash entries are objects: drag them into the 3D viewport.
Blender 5.2+ can also add it as a remote library: Asset Libraries → + → Add Remote Asset Library → paste https://blender-assets.blueish.workers.dev. Assets then download when you use them.
Geometry Nodes: 185 groups
- Mesh (66): heat geodesics, principal curvature, Laplacian smoothing, QEM simplification, remesh, marching cubes, Voronoi fracture, mesh folding, graph coloring, minimum spanning tree, reaction-diffusion, loop subdivision.
- Math (43): a 3×3 matrix toolkit (trace, norms, polar decomposition, pseudo-inverse), PCA, RBF interpolation, sparse linear solver, gradient and divergence, Möbius transform, barycentric coordinates, Fourier transform.
- Generation (34): circle and sphere packing, phyllotaxis, Koch and dragon fractals, mazes, spirographs, recursive subdivision, plexus.
- Curve (23): catenary, Coons patch, loft, sweep, weave, edge bundling, inverse kinematics, curve intersections, hair mesh to curve.
- Utility (19): camera culling, oriented bounding box, minimum bounding sphere, parallel transport, space colonization.
- PCG (4): Self Pruning and Spline Grammar.
Shaders: 161 Shader Tools + 49 Material Functions
- Shader Tools: 51 SDF shapes, 15 fractals (Mandelbrot, Julia, Newton), 46 tiling patterns, image filters, simplex noise, caustics, color palettes.
- Material Functions: complex-number math, triplanar, matcap and spherical coordinates, five parallax methods including POM and interior mapping, normal blending (RNM, UDN, Whiteout), virtual cube, sphere and cylinder intersections.
Stylized NPR: 22 materials · Compositor: 50 groups
NPR: cel and toon shading, hatching, halftone, anime hair, skin, silk, metal, glass, water, wood, crystal, toon ocean.
Compositor: 22 effects (ASCII, pixel sorting, rainy window, frozen and broken glass, glitch, CRT, dithering, comic, cross-hatching), 23 color palettes and 7 utilities.
Particle System: 30 groups
A force-based particle solver built in Geometry Nodes: curl and SDF noise, gravity, vortex, spring and orbit forces, curve and object forces, child particles, trails, masks and collisions.
Rigging System: 15 groups · VFX: Flipbook and Slash
Rigging: build a skeleton from an armature or from edges, capture and deform with LBS, Dual Quaternion, Center of Rotation and Delta Mush, plus FK, joint masks and weight visualizers.
VFX: 8 flipbook effects (blood, bubble, dust, explosion, fire, ice, smoke, water) with flipbook, frame-blend and motion-vector nodes, and 6 stylized slash trails.
Good to know
- Saved in Blender 5.3: use 5.3 or newer. Self Pruning and Spline Grammar also open in 5.2.
- Works with Cycles and EEVEE.
- The example scenes and presets of the Particle System and the Slash trails are sold separately as Everything Particle and Slash Trails Pack. The node groups themselves are all in this library.
- Royalty-free for your films, games and client work. Please don't resell or redistribute the node groups as your own.
- Questions or bugs: message me here, on X or on Bilibili.
