Procedural Rope Bridge - Blender Geo Nodes

Procedural Rope Bridge - Blender Geo Nodes 3D model

Description

Hey there,

I wanted to get into geometry nodes, watched some stuff by the amazing Erindale and then created this little rope bridge.

Erindales videos provided the basics for this, I did some things different and added stuff, just kept experimenting with the nodes because, well, it was about learning.

It's not a high detailed model, but will hold up still if you don't get too close.

The materials are included for the ropes and the wooden stuff, so basically the whole bridge.

You can also export the bridge as .fbx format to use in other software, but the textures are gone (procedural wood won't work outside Blender).

The base for the procedural wood shader is made by the incredible guys at True-VFX and they also made the rocks shown in the render. Check out their remarkable add-ons, I work with them, and they provide astonishing stuff and also have the best customer support ever!

Use my affiliate link if you consider buying something, it'll grant me a few bucks and won't cost any extra for you, promise.

You can easily change the appearance of the bridge, the video shows most of the stuff that's possible.

The nodes are quite organized, so it's also a nice way to get into geometry nodes and experiment a little with the stuff.

I hope you like it, let me know what and how I can improve things, I'm just sharing stuff I learned.

Bests,

Barley

How to you export the geometry? Every time I apply the modifiers the planks and knots disappear leaving only the rope

Hi, there is no need to apply any modifiers, just use the export as fbx function after placing the empties to make the bridge that you want.

Same Problem! Can you make a documentation or video about proper exporting

I tested this again and it works perfectly fine on my end. I open the file, I select the "Procedural Rope Bridge", I go to File --> Export --> Fbx I then check the box for "Limit to only selected" and leave everything else untouched and export. If you dont use "selected only" it will export with Camera and the secound set of planks etc. but still work. Please let me know if this works for you.
