Field Nodes: mask modifiers for Blender 5.2

Field and Field Effects add two modifiers to Add Modifier > Generate, right next to the native ones. Build a selection from a shape, then reshape it with effects. The result is a Vertex Group with weights from 0 to 1, ready to use in Mask, Displace, Wireframe, other Geometry Nodes or shaders.

No node editing needed: every option lives in the modifier panel.

Field: create the mask

• 8 shapes: Cube, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Pyramid, Torus, Tube, or any closed mesh (or collection) as Custom
• Full control: Position, Size and Rotation on every axis, or drive the shape with an Empty as Controller (animate it to animate the mask)
• Soft falloff: 6 curves (Linear, Smooth, Smoother, Ease In, Ease Out, Step), Inner Offset, Min/Max and Opacity
• 6 Blend modes to combine several Fields: Add, Union, Subtract, Exclude, Intersect, Replace
• Invert, and a custom Vertex Group name

Field Effects: reshape any mask

• Texture: Voronoi, Wave, Noise or Random, with animation that loops
• Formula: Sine or Saw waves by position or angle, with animation that loops
• Proximity: weight by distance to a mesh, curve or Empty, or by being inside a closed mesh
• Grow: reveal the mask over the frames (Gradient, Texture or Index)
• Delay: inertia with Blend, Spring and Trail modes
• Falloff: apply a falloff curve to weights that already exist
• Cloner: repeat the mask like an Array, with offset, rotation and scale per copy

Stack as many modifiers as you like: each one reads the result of the one before it.

How to install

Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > the arrow menu (top right) > Install from Disk, then pick the downloaded zip.

What's included

• The add-on (zip), ready to install
• PDF guide with illustrated examples

Requirements

Blender 5.2 or newer. Works on mesh objects.

Good to know

• The Delay effect needs playback from the first frame to give consistent results.
• Custom shapes and Proximity > Volume need a closed mesh.
