Turn any object into cardboard with a single click! Easy Cardboard offers a seamless blend of geometry nodes and shader nodes, allowing users to effortlessly achieve a variety of cardboard effects with just a few adjustments. Easily age it, color it, and layer it to create the desired look! No need for box assets, scanning, of all the time needed to create it from scratch - this will cover your cardboard needs for a long time!
*Please note: the setup does not create complex "corrugation" geometry - it is texture based. To see an example see one of the images below.
UPDATE 2.0!
- The entire shader has been rewritten to be more efficient and simpler with only improvements in visual quality. It is also more stable when working with EEVEE Next.
- Added support for easy texture (print) addition to the existing material. It works seamlessly with the WEAR functionality.
- Added more controls for the bump and displacement.
- UV based on length is set as default in case your mesh has multiple boundary loops.
- Added fuzz functionalty that adds that touch of realism.
- Wear slider has been reworked - now it achieves more dramatic results.
- Cardboard Tint has been added.
- Fixed types of values for some controls
- Support up to Blender 4.5
PLUS Version has been added. It includes:
- Simple Box Creator - easily crate boxes with gizmo controls for rotation of flaps, controls for height length and width as well generated UVs.
- Easy Tape (beta) - automatic (or custom curve) addition of tape based on the edge length threshold. Presets include: Clear, Duct, Artists, Brown Tapes. It also supports the wear functionality and will age with the rest of geometry.
- (Upcoming) - Grease Pencil to Cardboard.
- (Upcoming) - different variations of corrugation.
From simple boxes to cardboard cities and abstract shapes - convert anything to cardboard, without any worry of texturing and finding the sides, tiling textures or figuring out the ways to age it.
A Simple Slider for Wear! That includes edge damage, cracks, more prominent dips and rips.
Color it any way you like! Paint layer will automatically work with the wear!
Forget about aligning corrugation and corrugation side layers manually—the setup takes care of it all based on the UV map!
*Auto-masking requres some resolution. If you see it not working just add a subdivision!
With a simple tri-planar option for the UV, there's no need for UV unwrapping.
