Blender Update Medusa Nodes Beta v1.1.0 Crack Download
Keep in mind that this addon is not production-ready yet and has lots of issues! You will most certainly encounter some bugs. It is not a finished product yet.
Feel free to contact me via DMs on Twitter or Blenderartists.org. If you have any issues, I will try to do my best to solve them.
Medusa Nodes – Procedural Hair System for Blender
The addon features Geometry Nodes node groups, which are purposely made to achieve realistic deformations and visualization of hair.
The node groups are streamlined by the help of addon’s own Medusa Nodes Hierarchy panel, where one can easily view, and edit all of the different nodes and their parameters.
For more information you can visit the blenderartists.org or documentation page. The documentation page is in progress.
You will get all of the future updates after the one-time purchase.
Version 1.0.5 is compatible with Blender version 3.5.
Overview
The addon features several nodes, including deformers such as Guide, Clump, Noise, Curl, Braid, Children, and Trim.
Mask Groups for masking purposes, which are pretty simple but crucial in achieving realistic hairstyles in my opinion.
The “Region” maps, also known as “Parting” maps are supported by Guide and Clump deformers. (Image Texture node should be set to Closest type of interpolation!).
The Braid deformer is not set in stone and will improve. The fishbone braids, where side hairs automatically find the place they can feed into the main braid, are far from being perfect, but maybe some of you can find them useful. I will try to improve its usability as well, because its parameters are needlessly overcomplicated at the moment.
Addons UI
Addon has its own hierarchy viewer.
Add Deformer button, which will add the desired deformer right on top of the currently selected deformer.
Addon can also expose “ColorRamp” and “FloatCurve” widgets for quick access.

Bug when starting a new groom in the 3.5 Blender is eliminated. This makes Medusa Nodes compatible with Blenders 3.5.0 version.
