Splines Growth is a Blender addon that allows you to generate and animate organic spline structures growing across any mesh surface. Perfect for visual effects, abstract motion graphics, or nature-inspired growth systems like vines, roots, or sci-fi energy paths.
✨ Features:
-
Mesh-Based Growth: Splines grow across the surface of your selected mesh.
-
Randomized Paths: Each spline avoids exact duplication for more natural results.
-
Full Animation Control: Define start and end frames, growth speed, and even reverse growth.
-
Curvature Offset: Add natural variation with random curvature distortion.
-
Variable Thickness: Randomized bevel radius for organic results.
-
Built-In Emission Shader: Splines automatically come with an emission material, ready for rendering.
-
Batch Delete: One-click cleanup with the Delete All Splines button.
-
Customizable Splines Count: Generate from a single spline to hundreds.
🎬 Use Cases:
-
Creeping vines, roots, or ivy-like structures.
-
Energy growth effects in sci-fi and horror projects.
-
Abstract generative art.
-
Organic particle flow simulations.
-
Procedural-looking motion graphics without geometry nodes.
📦 Included:
-
The Splines Growth Addon (Blender 4.4+).
-
Easy-to-use panel in the 3D Viewport Sidebar.
