Asset overview
Understand the setup.
Then make it your own.
Basalt Formation Pro is a Blender Geometry Nodes asset in OmniKit’s utilities collection.
DROP ON ANY MESH: replaces it with a procedural hex-column formation. Enable Conform to Input to ray-project the footprint onto a mesh below Ray Height in local XY; missed rays remove columns. Height, terraces, dome, slope, gaps, growth and seed; procedural basalt/moss/wet PBR auto-applies. Local units. Max 80x80 columns. Nearest hex packing is artistic, not fracture physics. Geometry first output; Bypass restores input.
Its exposed inputs include Bypass, Columns X, Columns Y, Column Radius, Joint Gap, Round Footprint, Footprint Radius. Review the control reference below to plan a suitable setup.
Source and setup notes
Source node name: OMNI - Basalt Formation Pro
Collection: Environments/Basalt Formation
Structural inspection used Blender 5.2.0 LTS. Other releases and render engines require separate checks.
How to approach this asset
- Check the source notes for the expected mesh, curve, field, shader or World context.
- Start with a disposable scene and a suitable input. Inspect required object, material or collection inputs.
- Adjust one documented control at a time. Evaluate the result before using it in a production project.
