Erindale Toolkit earns its place in the superhive library for extending Geometry Nodes with over 130 specialised nodes, spanning camera culling, LOD optimisation and procedural generators.
Erindale Toolkit is a set of advanced node groups for Blender's Geometry Nodes, developed by Erindale and shipping with over 130 nodes. It installs as a standard Blender add-on and targets more advanced Geometry Nodes workflows.
Camera culling restricts instances to the area within view of the camera, which can automatically optimise an instance-heavy scene. LOD tools reduce the visual fidelity of distant meshes and give controls over distance limits for different LOD meshes. Generator nodes let you create points procedurally for advanced arrays and instancing, with complex positioning that can be pushed into areas such as architectural form finding and motion graphics.
The toolkit also includes ETK_Tessellate, which mimics simple features of the Tissue add-on, and its former Experimental category has been renamed to Advanced. Documentation covers installation, explanations of all the node sockets, and examples of use, and video documentation is available for the nodes.
Erindale Toolkit - Advanced Geometry Nodes Groups (Updated For Fields) is best for blender artists working in Geometry Nodes who want to optimise instance-heavy scenes and build procedural arrays for uses such as architectural form finding and motion graphics.
Erindale Toolkit - Advanced Geometry Nodes Groups (Updated For Fields) is completely free to download and use.
Erindale Toolkit ships in versions matched to specific Blender releases. v1.1 covers Blender 2.93 LTS, ETK_Core_3-1 is for Blender 3.1, ETK_Core_3-3 is for Blender 3.3 LTS, and ETK_Core_3.4 is for Blender 3.4. Be sure to grab the build that matches your Blender version. For v1.1 on 2.93 LTS, the developer notes you can send a message if you need it. Check the developer's page for the current file that fits your setup before installing.
Erindale Toolkit installs like a normal Blender add-on, following the shift to shipping as a proper add-on in the v1.0 update. Documentation covers installation along with explanations of all the node sockets and examples of use, and video documentation is available for the nodes. Be sure to grab the build that matches your Blender version, since the toolkit ships in releases tied to specific versions. For the exact steps and the download that fits your setup, refer to the developer's page and its documentation before installing.
Erindale Toolkit is listed as free here, so no price is shown in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time and are set by the developer rather than this listing. For current licensing details, and to download the build that matches your Blender version, check the developer's page on superhive. The toolkit ships in releases tied to specific Blender versions, so confirm you are grabbing the right file for your setup before installing.
Erindale Toolkit includes an ETK_Tessellate node that mimics simple features of the Tissue add-on, and its sockets carry tooltips to explain them. It was added on 1st April 2023 alongside a set of updates that renamed the former Experimental category to Advanced and optimised the Bounding Box per Instance node. The node sits among the toolkit's broader set of Geometry Nodes tools, which also span camera culling, LOD optimisation and procedural generators for arrays and instancing.

Slide Edge is an edge-sliding add-on for Blender that duplicates and slides selected edges. Built for retopology and general modeling, it slides edges inward or outward, with the nearby edges of connected poles sliding along too.
