A lightning-fast Geometry Nodes setup that dissolves any 3D object into a swarm of particles.

Apply the node group to your mesh, tweak the neatly labeled parameters, and instantly generate a dynamic disintegration effect. Looking to dissolve into a wireframe mesh instead? Check out the Mesh Variant here.

How it works: The setup drives invisible surface points with a noise simulation, scattering them like wind blowing sand. 3D particles are instanced onto these points, automatically stretching and rotating dynamically based on their velocity. Simultaneously, a synchronized custom shader transitions the original solid mesh into transparency, creating a seamless illusion of the object breaking apart into a flying swarm.

Features & Capabilities:

• Fully customizable noise transformation and disappearance timing.
• Dynamic particle stretching and rotation matched to the movement direction.
• Velocity-based scaling (particles shrink as they accelerate/disappear).
• Original mesh vertices seamlessly follow the dissolution shape.
• The setup exports a synchronized dissolve_fac float attribute directly to the shader editor.

What's Included:

1. The core Dissolve-to-Particles node setup.
2. An additional example file featuring a glowing emission variant.
