LINER Tool

"This tool is designed to make great magic/sci-fi outlines for the Text/Shape and to get some functionality of After-Effect in Blender. You can make amazing graphics and titles with the help of this tool in Blender."

Features (New v1.1):

• Multi-Spline Outlines: This tool generates outlines based on curves, accommodating multiple splines.
• Smooth Animation: Easily animate the outlines using Loop and Manual options.
• Dual Core System: Offers two outline cores - Curve-based and Grid-based.
• Flexible Grid Alignment: The Grid Core can be aligned at any angle relative to the curve, including inside and outside options.
• Tentacle Effects: Enhance outlines with tentacles, featuring four unique effects - Noise, Voronoi, Spiral, and Tilt-Offset (available in 2D and 3D).
• Particle Integration: Add particles to tentacles for extra visual flair.
• Illumination: Illuminate the background with various lamp options, particularly useful in the Eevee render engine.

Use

This is a modifier based on Geometry Nodes, so you can use it directly from the Liner Tool's files as Assets or Append Node-Setup/Object.

• Assets: You can use this as an Asset. First, unzip the file then assign it as an asset library in the Blender preferences. In the Asset Browser, the Node Setup: KS_Liner and the Object: KS_Liner_Object will appear.
• Append: You can also use this in different files by appending the Node Setup: KS_Liner or Object: KS_Liner_Object.
  

About

This LINER modifier is made with geometry nodes and can be used in Blender 3.3-5.0.

License

You can use this tool in any of your projects (non-commercial or commercial).

You may not redistribute the geometry node group itself, for free or commercially.

Happy Noding... :)
