GEOMETRY NODES · DRAG & DROP

SIMPLE UV Nodes

UV projection and transformation, live in your modifier stack. No unwrapping, no operators, no context switch — just drag a node in.

Every Node, One Asset Library

Drag straight out of Blender's Asset Browser into your modifier tree — no installer, no Preferences toggle to hunt for.

Blender Asset Browser showing all 11 Simple UV Nodes as drag-and-drop assets, each with a checker-pattern UV preview

Install in Four Steps

1. Download

Grab the release zip and extract it.

2. Pick Your Version

Choose the folder matching your Blender install, e.g. Simple_UV_Nodes_4_5.

3. Register the Library

In Preferences → File Paths → Asset Libraries, add that folder as a new Asset Library.

4. Drag & Drop

Open the Asset Browser, set it to Simple UV Nodes, and drag any node into your tree.

STAYS LIVE, STAYS PROCEDURAL

Non-Destructive
By Default

Blender's built-in UV projection tools live outside the modifier stack — run an operator, the result is baked, and any adjustment means starting over. Simple UV Nodes brings projection into Geometry Nodes so it stays live, adjustable, and procedural.

✓ Change any parameter at any time — nothing is baked until you need it to be

✓ Reacts automatically to upstream geometry changes

✓ No context switching — stay in the Geometry Nodes editor

CAMERA PROJECTION

See What the
Camera Sees

UVs projected from the point of view of a Camera object — the same way a real lens would. Focal length, sensor size, and projection type are read directly from the camera's data-block, including a proper parallel projection when the camera is set to Orthographic.

Because the projection reads the camera's live transform, animating or parenting the Camera object updates the UVs in real time.

BUILT FOR EVERY SURFACE

Planar, Spherical,
or Cylindrical

Pick the projection that matches the geometry — flat for floors and walls, seam-corrected spherical for round objects, or cylindrical with optional blended caps for pipes, columns, and anything else that revolves around an axis.

✓ Planar — flat projection for dominant-direction surfaces

✓ Spherical — normalized or real-world scale, seam-corrected

✓ Cylindrical — optional blended caps on end faces

INSTANCE & ISLAND RANDOMIZE

Break Up
Texture Tiling

Each instance or UV island gets an independent, seed-controlled random offset, rotation, and scale — Instance Randomize for scattered geometry, Island Randomize for a single complex mesh like a rock pile or brick wall. Stack both for further variation.

STACK, TRANSFORM, FINISH

Every Projection
Feeds Forward

Pipe the result of any projection node into UV Transform for a second round of non-destructive adjustment. Mark Edges keeps seams in sync with your UV layout automatically, and Pack to Channel builds a dedicated lightmap UV from any existing one.

✓ UV Transform — offset, rotate, scale, tile, mirror

✓ Mark Edges — automatic seam & sharp-edge sync

✓ Pack to Channel — margin, rotation, and packing method control

All 11 Nodes

Every projection, transform, and utility node in the pack.

UV Box Project

Triplanar projection blended from all three axes, with per-face offset, rotation, and scale.

UV Planar Project

Flat projection along one axis — ideal for floors, walls, and dominant-direction surfaces.

UV Spherical Project

Equirectangular wrap for round objects, seam-corrected across all three axes.

UV Cylindrical Project

Wraps around a chosen axis, with optional blended caps for pipes and columns.

UV Camera Project

Projects from a real Camera object's focal length, sensor size, and lens type.

UV Transform

Non-destructively offset, rotate, scale, tile, and mirror any existing UV map.

UV Instance Randomize

Seed-controlled per-instance UV offset, rotation, and scale for scattered geometry.

UV Island Randomize

The same randomization, scoped to UV islands on a single mesh.

UV Mark Edges

Detects UV island boundaries and writes them back as seams and/or sharp edges.

UV Pack to Channel

Packs UV islands into a destination map — built for lightmap UVs.

UV Attribute Transform

A pure-vector helper for transforming UV coordinates inside custom node groups.

Everything Inside

One library, the whole UV workflow.

Named UV Attributes

Every node targets a user-specified UV attribute name, so you can create and manage multiple UV maps on one mesh.

Object or World Space

Choose the coordinate space for projections to keep UVs stable under object transforms or locked to the world.

Pure Geometry Nodes

No Python dependency, no operator to run — everything is a standard Geometry Nodes modifier.

Minimum Blender version: 4.5. If you update to a new minor version, swap the registered Asset Library folder to the matching one from the zip — older folders keep working but won't include newer features.
