Geometry Node Tools & Generators
Giant Vine Generator
Fully procedural tool for generating massive, natural-looking vines in seconds. It’s incredibly flexible, fast, and one of my personal favorites. I use it in nearly every project.
Ivy Generator
A fast, procedural tool for growing realistic ivy along surfaces, walls, or terrain. Perfect for adding natural overgrowth and detail with full control over density, spread, and randomness.
Snow Generator
A procedural snow generator that makes it easy to cover any surface with realistic, natural-looking snow. Simple controls make it quick to use in any winter scene.
Draw Vines
Create custom vines by drawing directly in the viewport on any surface or in open space, with full control over shape and direction.
Geometry Node Scatter System
Powerful, fast, and intuitive - Arborea’s scatter system makes creating environments feel smooth and creative
Procedural Pattern Distribution , Elevation & Slope Controls, Proximity, & Wind
Scatter Directly From the Browser
Quickly scatter assets straight from the browser with one click. No setup needed. Add to active systems, bring in variations, or import assets as bounds or hidden, all without leaving the browser.
Camera Culling
Automatically hide any instances outside the camera view to keep your viewport clean and your scenes running smoothly. Perfect for optimizing heavy environments.
Multi-Emitter Scattering
Scatter across multiple surfaces in one system, making it easy to handle complex, modular, or layered scenes.
Temporary Object Viewport Masking
The viewport mask lets you work on one area at a time without slowing down the interface. Perfect for isolating dense regions and keeping your workflow fast and clean
Group & Sync System Settings
Easily organize your scatter systems by grouping them together. Grouped systems can be synced instantly, making it simple to manage large scenes and apply changes across multiple systems at once.
Assets in Arborea
Arborea includes over 600 assets ranging from realistic vegetation to fantasy-inspired models.
From trees and shrubs to flowers, rocks, and ground cover, everything is optimized and ready to use. The library will continue to grow with future updates.
