Curve Particle Tool

mgh3d in Modifier Setups


MGH_Curve Particle is a Geometry Nodes modifier designed for curve-based particle simulation in Blender. It leverages a simulation zone to animate particle movement dynamically along a curve, with extensive user controls for motion, density, and instancing.


UI Parameters & Descriptions

Motion Control

  • Speed – Adjusts the movement speed of particles along the curve.
  • Noise Radius – Adds positional randomness to particle movement, creating a more organic effect.
  • Wiggle – Controls oscillatory motion, adding variation to the particle trajectory.

Start/End Control

  • Start Radius – Defines the initial spread of particles from the curve.
  • Start Balance – Controls the distribution bias of particles at the beginning.
  • End Radius – Adjusts how particles disperse towards the end of the curve.
  • End Balance – Controls the distribution bias of particles at the end.

Density Control

  • Emission Count – Specifies the total number of emitted particles.
  • Density Mask – Controls particle density distribution along the curve.

Shape & Instancing

  • Pick Instance (Object Selection) – Choose a custom object to be used as a particle instance.
  • Min Scale / Max Scale – Defines the minimum and maximum scale variation for particle instances.
  • Random Rotation (X/Y/Z) – Enables random rotation of instances on all axes for natural variation.
  • Particle Radius – Adjusts the individual particle size.

Shading & Output

  • Particle Material (ID Assignment) – Assigns a material to the particle instances.
  • Output Attributes
    • points_factor – A custom attribute used for gradient ramp shading, allowing smooth transitions in material properties.

Key Applications

  • Procedural animations and motion graphics
  • Abstract particle trails and dynamic effects
  • Optimized object scattering along curves
  • Creative visual effects in Blender

MGH_Curve Particle is a versatile, artist-friendly tool that brings parametric particle control into Blender’s procedural workflow.
