Arrowify is an artist-friendly addon for Blender, for making arrows - for example for use on technical 3D-animations to visualize direction, flow, heat exchange, air pressure, wind etc.

Features:

• 6 easy-to-use Geometry Nodes Setups with huge customizability.
• Control of various parameters such as speed, amount, spread, offset from curve and many more parameters.
• Works in EEVEE and Cycles.
• Great for technical 3D-animations to visualize direction, flow, heat exchange, air pressure, wind etc.
• +20 preset arrows (Including Simple, Chevron, Pointer, Double-Headed, Curved and more).
• Use custom arrows or objects.
• Easily animate along curves or mesh lines.
• Customize arrow materials to your liking, or give them your own look with the help of exposed parameters.
• All effects can be keyframed.
• Easily accessed from the "Add" menu or from the Asset Browser.
• Includes .blend-file with example library.

The Bundle Includes:

6 Arrow Shaders:

• Uses data from the Geometry Nodes Setups.
• Control gradients with ease.
• Fade arrows in and out.
• Exposed parameters if custom material is needed.

6 Arrow Geometry Nodes:

• Works on both curves and mesh lines (no need to convert mesh lines to curves)
• All useful parameters are exposed for maximum control.
• Use custom arrows.
• Different geometry-node setups for different effects and styles

Please see below for the exact specifications for each unique arrow setup, or have a look at the documentation. Purchasing individual arrows count cumulatively towards the full pack allowing you to first take a look at the quality of the assets itsself before commiting to the full priced addon.

Addon:

The addon allows the user to instantly add the arrows to any curve or mesh line from the Add Menu in Blender.
