Crystals Formation (Geometry Nodes Modifier)
This tool is also available, bundled in the addon On The Rocks.

The geometry nodes modifier "Crystals Formation" for Blender provides a powerful and flexible solution for creating realistic, stylized and abstract crystals formations. By combining geometric primitives, mathematical functions and various noise generators, users can create a huge variety of crystal shapes and arrangements. Whether natural crystal structures or futuristic crystal buildings - the possibilities are in your mind. The modifier "Crystals Formation" brings extensive options for settings, adjustments and generation and is easy to understand and to use. Visualize crystals pillars and ground crystal separately, in material, weighted and approximation distribution and density on faces and in volume, size, thickness, randomness, sharpness, normal directioning, offsetting, rotation, noising, volumization, and more. |
