Field Grid — Transform Any Object into a Living Lattice Field

"What if the space around an object could reveal its hidden structure? Field Grid makes the invisible visible — turning solid geometry into a mesmerizing 3D lattice of particles that respond to your object's form."

Compatible with Blender 4.2 and newer | Non-Destructive Geometry Nodes | One-Click Setup

Field Grid is a Blender extension that transforms any mesh object into a stunning 3D lattice of spheres, cubes, or points. Using raycast detection, it automatically distinguishes between points inside vs. outside your object — creating beautiful scientific visualizations, abstract art, drone formation planning, and eye-catching motion graphics with a single click.

What Makes Field Grid Special?

Smart Raycast Detection

Points inside your mesh are automatically detected and styled differently from outside points. No manual setup required — the algorithm understands your geometry.

Real-Time Geometry Nodes

Everything happens through Blender's Geometry Nodes — fully procedural and non-destructive. Tweak any parameter anytime, even after the effect is applied.

Instant Visual Differentiation

Customizable colors for inside/outside elements. Inside particles are larger and more prominent — outside particles create the surrounding field atmosphere.

Complete Control Panel

Adjust grid density, field size, element radii, positioning offsets, element types, and visibility — all from an intuitive redo panel.

Perfect For

• Scientific Visualization — Molecular structures, electromagnetic fields, physics simulations
• Drone Show Planning — Each point represents a drone position. Visualize 3D formations before flight.
• Motion Graphics & VFX — Logo reveals, holographic effects, futuristic UI elements, sci-fi visuals
• Abstract & Generative Art — Algorithmic sculptures, data art, geometric compositions
• Educational Content — Teach 3D concepts, volume visualization, spatial relationships

How It Works — 3 Simple Steps

1. Select your mesh object — Works with any 3D mesh: primitives, characters, logos, sculptures, anything!
2. Add Field Grid — Press Shift+A → Mesh → Field Grid
3. Customize the result — Press F9 for the redo panel and fine-tune all parameters

Available Parameters:

• Grid Size — Number of points per axis (3–80)
• Field Size — Overall lattice dimensions
• Inside/Outside Radius — Size of elements
• Element Type — Sphere, Cube, or Point Cloud (built-in presets; you can also plug in custom objects via the Geometry Nodes modifier)
• Show Outside Grid — Toggle external field visibility
• Offset X/Y/Z — Fine-tune field positioning
• Inside/Outside Colors — Customize appearance

Pro Tip: After the operator finishes, you can still adjust parameters in the Geometry Nodes modifier panel. The field stays fully editable — that's the power of non-destructive procedural workflow!

Tips & Best Practices

• Closed meshes work best — Manifold (watertight) geometry gives the cleanest inside/outside detection
• Start with lower Grid Size — Use 15–25 for previewing, increase for final renders
• Adjust radii proportionally — After changing Grid Size, tweak element radii for best visual balance
• The original object auto-hides — Uncheck "Hide Target" if you need it visible
• Parameters remain editable — Access the Geometry Nodes modifier anytime to adjust settings

What's Included

• Field Grid extension (single Python file, no dependencies)
• Documentation and README
• Free updates for compatible Blender versions

Requirements

• Blender 4.2 or newer
• No external dependencies — works completely offline
• Any operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux
