Belt Generator - Geometry Nodes System

Create realistic belts and straps of any kind with this 100% procedural, customizable geometry nodes system!

Endless Possibilities!

Using interdependent slider values and different element styles, you can create just the belt you need! Different attachments, widths, number of holes, metal pieces, materials, etc. allow infinite combinations!

Modular Attachment System:

Premade Endpieces:

You can choose from multiple premade enpieces or just insert your own geometry. 

Automatic Connections:

You can use an object (an empty for example) to tell multiple belt generators where to connect. The object you select will then function as a control to set the position and rotation of the connector.

Settings:

A lot of settings can be intimidating, right? So, to give you full control over the system while maintaining clarity, the settings are sorted by belt element. In addition, default values have been set for all values. If you want the default back, hover with the mouse over the value and press backspace. 
The workflow is non-destructive thanks to the geometry nodes, giving you permanent control over your object.
