Liner for Blender
Liner Tool v1.0 for Blender
The Ultimate Magic and Sci-Fi Outline Tool
Download the Liner Tool v1.0 addon today. Therefore, you can create stunning magic and sci-fi outlines for text and shapes instantly. Because motion graphics and VFX require dynamic glowing effects, you need proper tools. However, manually animating these outlines or relying on external software takes many frustrating hours. Consequently, this powerful Geometry Nodes tool solves that problem completely. Furthermore, it brings familiar After Effects-style functionality directly into Blender [[9]]. Thus, you can generate complex animated outlines in seconds.
Fast Outline Generation
First, the core of this tool is procedural speed. Specifically, it generates intricate line animations and glowing borders instantly. Furthermore, you can adjust line thickness, dash patterns, and animation speed easily. Additionally, the tool applies Grid UV Flow and Grid Object Flow group nodes seamlessly for easy material control [[1]]. Thus, you can build endless magical and technological variations quickly. Moreover, you can customize the color, emission, and glow intensity perfectly. Consequently, your 3D text and shapes will look highly professional.
Advanced After Effects-Style Features
Ultimately, complex motion graphics require advanced outline control. Therefore, this addon includes smart Geometry Nodes tools. Specifically, you get easy trim-path and sequential drawing features. Furthermore, the algorithms preserve original mesh topology and UV mapping perfectly. Additionally, the tools simulate realistic neon glow, energy pulses, and holographic projections. Consequently, your animated outlines will look incredibly dynamic. Thus, the workflow reacts beautifully to your creative input.
Real-Time Optimization and Performance
However, heavy procedural geometry can sometimes slow down viewports. Therefore, the tool is perfectly optimized for performance. Specifically, it utilizes efficient native Blender Geometry Nodes systems. Consequently, you can process complex multi-line animations easily. Meanwhile, your viewport frame rate remains completely stable. Ultimately, this ensures a smooth and fast workflow.
Perfect for Motion Graphics and VFX Artists
Additionally, this tool is ideal for motion designers and title artists. Furthermore, it suits sci-fi UI creators and VFX artists perfectly. Moreover, anyone looking to replicate After Effects line animations natively in Blender will love the rapid setup. Ultimately, it accelerates your entire 3D production pipeline.
System Requirements and Formats
Specifically, the addon supports Blender versions 3.3 to 5.0, with optimized releases for 3.6 and 4.0+ [[12]]. Furthermore, it supports both Cycles and Eevee render engines for optimal glow and emission evaluation. Additionally, you get regular free updates from the developer. Therefore, it works across all major operating systems. Moreover, you will need a standard workstation. Thus, 16GB of RAM is highly recommended. Consequently, a modern GPU ensures smooth viewport playback.
Installation and Usage Guide
First, download the zip file from your library. Next, open Blender and go to Edit Preferences. Then, select Add-ons and click Install. After that, enable the Liner Tool addon. Finally, apply the Geometry Nodes modifier to your text or shape object and adjust the parameters in the clean, organized UI [[1]]. Thus, your animated outline will be ready quickly.
What is Included Inside?
Specifically, the pack contains multiple outline and glow presets. Furthermore, it includes smart Grid UV and Object Flow node groups. Additionally, you get several magic, sci-fi, and UI variants. Moreover, there are detailed video tutorial guides. Ultimately, you receive everything for professional motion graphics creation.
Final Thoughts on the Tool
Ultimately, precise procedural outlining evokes profound artistic quality. Therefore, this tool provides the ultimate creative foundation. Furthermore, you can build detailed sci-fi interface elements. Alternatively, you can create complex magical spell animations. Consequently, your motion graphics vision becomes a stunning reality.
“This tool is designed to make great magic/sci-fi outlines for the Text/Shape and to get some functionality of After-Effect in Blender. You can make amazing graphics and titles with the help of this tool with full artistic control in Blender.”
Features (New v1.1):

Use
This is a modifier based on Geometry Nodes, so you can use it directly from the Liner Tool’s files as Assets or Append Node-Setup/Object.
- Assets: You can use this as an Asset. First, unzip the file then assign it as an asset library in the Blender preferences. In the Asset Browser, the Node Setup: KS_Liner and the Object: KS_Liner_Object will appear.
- Append: You can also use this in different files by appending the Node Setup: KS_Liner or Object: KS_Liner_Object.
