Surface Blend
Developer: Milad_Kambari
A free Blender add-on that blends an asset's material into the ground nearby using geometry nodes and shader mixing.
What Surface Blend does
Surface Blend helps objects sit naturally in a landscape in Blender. It mixes an asset's material into the ground or terrain surface depending on distance, so a rock or building appears to merge into soil, grass or sand rather than sitting on top of it.
Geometry nodes build the mask and shader mixing handles the transition, keeping everything non-destructive and updating in real time as the asset moves or rotates, with no re-baking. Several materials can be layered in a set one-directional order, and procedural noise breaks up blend borders. Environment artists grounding props in terrain will find it a convenient finishing step.
Key features
- Proximity-based material blending
