Djh Strands: A Geonodes Library: Djh Strands: A Geonodes Library v4.0: Strands is an asset addon library developed in GeoNode that allows Blender users to easily integrate long and flexible objects such as ropes, chains, and wires into their scenes by simply dragging and dropping. It contains 20 modular Strand Modifiers that allow users to place and edit meshed curves into complex rope-like structures.
These modifiers offer a cost-effective way to work for the user as they do not damage existing geometries, offering an alternative to manual remodelling. For lower-defined models, these modifiers can be used as a base mesh. Apart from flexible configurations, Strands include materials, utility nodes, and ready-to-use knot models, providing users with a comprehensive package while maintaining detail in their strand objects.
Some great features of Djh Strands: A Geonodes Library:
- Strand Modifiers: 20 tools to place, edit, and build curves into a rope-like-shaped mesh object.
Strand Categories: - Placers: Techniques for creating and placing curves (e.g. Connect Points, Gravity, Knot Tightener)
- Filters: Tools for modifying curves with devices like Sag, Waviness, and Smoothness.
- Appenders: Attach additional strands to simple strands (e.g. Add Wrap)
- Meshers: Turn strands into a renderable mesh object (e.g. To Rope, To Chain)
- Non-Destructive Workflow: Edit strand placement details without fearing losing work hours.
- Customizable Tags: Multiple strands can be assigned to a single object and managed with tags.
- Preset Library: 16-strand presets, 15-knot models, materials, utility nodes, and object setups help users save time and learn simultaneously.
- Simulation Support: Modifiers like Wind Effect allow simple simulations but are intended for static modelling.
Materials and Utility Nodes: Materials and nodes for custom shader setups are provided. - Shader Attributes: Shader ID values and vertex colours can be assigned for added material flexibility.
