Blender Motion Node – Spread Effect Tutorial

Learn how to use the new Spread Field node in Motion Nodes — the Geometry Nodes addon that brings powerful procedural animation and motion graphics to Blender. Spread Field distributes factor values across geometry from a chosen index or selection, traveling along the mesh topology. It's an essential tool for creating wave-like animations that follow the surface of a model. The node has two modes — Geometry and Spline. In this tutorial we'll focus on Geometry mode; Spline mode is covered in a separate video.
