Kinetica

A Geometry Nodes setup that recreates a kinetic sand art effect. The system uses a custom carve object that follows a user-defined curve to displace points along its path, effectively drawing shapes into the surface. Users can instance any object onto the points and apply custom materials to the setup.

The tool includes adjustable controls for displacement strength and speed. A fade effect gradually covers the drawn tracks, which can be used to generate seamless loops for decorative animations or visual effects. The node tree is kept clean and readable to serve as a foundational concept for users to study or expand upon. Optimized for EEVEE.
