Procedural Dynamic Paint

"Control the dynamic paint with nodes!"

Dynamic Paint Features: (New v2.0)

• Procedural Dynamic Paint: Powered by Geometry Nodes, it offers precise control over Brush and Canvas painting parameters.
• Modes: Choose from two dynamic modes - Paint and Flow (UV-Mesh).
• Object Interaction: Paint on any canvas object using another object as your brush (supporting brushes- Objects, Meshes, or Curves).
• Dynamic Effects: Paint can exhibit dynamic behaviors, including Drip, Damp, Spread, Dry, Dissolve, and Wet-Paint Thickness.
• Custom Brush Color: Define brush color using images or color maps.
• Custom Forces: Apply custom force directions to influence paint dynamics to suit your needs.
• Mask Generation: It generates three essential masks - Wet Mask, Dry Mask, and Color - which enhance shading and visual effects.
• Paint Transfer: Easily transfer paint from one object to another when they come into contact.
• Animation Integration: Object animations influence the dynamics of the paint, making it adaptable and realistic.
  

Dynamic Mask Features (New v1.0):

• Procedural Dynamic Mask: Powered by Geometry Nodes, it offers precise control over mask painting parameters.
• Object Interaction: Paint a mask on any mesh object using another object as your brush.
• Dynamic Effects: Mask can exhibit dynamic behaviors, including Spread, Shrink, and Dissolve.
• Influence Mask: Influence the dynamics of the mask, with any field e.g., noise falloff, etc.

Bake

The Blender 3.6-4.3 have the baking feature for the Simulation Nodes of the Geometry Nodes. To bake: Select the Object having the simulation nodes -> Physics Tab -> Simulation Nodes (Bottom) -> Press Bake. It will bake and store the cache next to the project file.

You'll get two project files of Procedural Dynamic Mask:

Use

You can use this as an asset by specifying the preset folder as an asset library in the Blender preferences.

Documentation:

Detailed documentation of settings is included with the files.

About

This is a modifier made with simulation nodes of the geometry nodes for Blender 3.6-4.3.

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... :)

Releasing Procedural Dynamic Paint v2.0 for Blender 3.6, 4.0.

• Split the Brush node into individual brushes: Object, Mesh, and Curve.
• Added Brush Stroke Frame node.
• Streamlined and grouped the inputs for a better user experience.
• Added Paint Info node for material.
• Separate the Paint and Flow materials.
• Updated the documentation file.
  

01/05/2023:

• Updated the files for Blender 3.6 experimental build on 1st May 2023.

23/02/2023 (Video):

• Add the Brush Color. It allows to define the brush color based on the Image or Color map.
  
• Add the UV Flow. It flows the UV Map of the object based on the forces.
  
• Add the Mesh Flow. It flows the mesh of the object based on the forces, mainly for the Plane and Spherical Meshes.
