Blender - Sprite Particles for Realtime VFX

Blender Sprite Particles for Real-Time VFX (GeoNodes 1.2.1) brings a revolutionary approach to creating dynamic visual effects directly in Blender using the power of Geometry Nodes. Designed with inspiration from real-time game engines, this toolkit allows artists to create visually compelling effects such as water splashes, smoke trails, bonfires, steam, fireworks, and more—without the need for complex simulation baking.

At the heart of this system is the GeoSpritesV2 MasterNode, a versatile Geometry Nodes modifier that enables real-time creation and control over sprite-based particle effects. With it, artists can generate both stylized and realistic effects using a node-based workflow. Simply drag and drop the provided .blend assets into your project, and all settings, shaders, and animations are instantly ready for use and customization.

The package includes a full suite of shader nodes and presets designed for fast iteration and high-quality output. Tools like FlipbookAnimatorV2, AgeFadeOut, and FresnelFadeOut allow for complete control over how effects behave and evolve over time. Additional nodes such as GetInstanceInfo, ProximityFadeOut, and MixColorByAge give creators fine-tuned control over texture behavior, animation blending, and more.

This asset pack comes loaded with practical presets for various VFX needs, including:

6 MasterNode presets: Fire, Ground Fire, Looping Fire, Smoking Tileable, Stylized Smoke, Water Splash

10 pre-made sprite objects with textures and shaders: Fire, Lava, Smoke, Stylized Effects, Water, and more

4 demo effects: Abstract Trail, Fireworks System, Flamethrower, Rain System

Blender Sprite Particles 1.2.1 is ideal for artists working in real-time environments, cinematic projects, stylized animations, or game-ready renders. Whether you're designing a flamethrower effect, a stylized fireball, or a subtle environmental rain system, this toolkit gives you everything you need to build complex VFX with ease and control—all without leaving the Blender environment.
