Procedural Clock stands out in the Blender library for handling clock animation entirely through Geometry Nodes, so a single Create Clock step produces a running digital display without any keyframing.
Procedural Clock, from Blender Easy, generates fully animated digital clocks in Blender without keyframes or manual setup. You set the time and speed, and the animation runs automatically. Built with Geometry Nodes, it turns flat text into layered 3D visuals for holographic displays.
A built-in glitch system adds distortion, jitter, pixel shifting and scanlines. The time system supports 12h and 24h formats with speed control, while layout options cover size, spacing and borders. Visual control extends to color, emission and spacing, and you can swap in any font by selecting the ClockText node in Geometry Nodes. Hologram layer depth and screen effects such as grids are adjustable too.
The workflow runs in a few steps: click Create Clock, set your time and color, then adjust the hologram and effects. It works in Blender 5.0 to 5.1, renders in both Cycles and Eevee, and ships under an MIT license.
Procedural Clock is best for sci-fi HUD timers, holographic interfaces, digital clocks for environments, and glitchy or cyberpunk displays.
Procedural Clock is completely free to download and use.
Procedural Clock is built for Blender 5.0 to 5.1 and renders in both Cycles and Eevee, so you can work with whichever engine your scene uses. It's distributed under an MIT license and comes from developer Blender Easy. The tool is built with Geometry Nodes, and its features run inside that system. For the latest version and full licensing details, check the developer's page before you install.
Procedural Clock lets you use any font on your system. Select the ClockText node in Geometry Nodes and choose a font file from your machine to change the typeface. This works alongside the other visual controls, which include color, emission and spacing, so you can adjust both the font and the overall styling of the digital display. Font selection happens directly inside Geometry Nodes.
Procedural Clock animates without keyframes. You set the time and the speed, and the animation runs automatically, so there's no manual keyframing to manage. The time system supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats along with speed control, letting you choose how the clock reads and how fast it advances. This keeps the display running once you've set the time and speed, rather than requiring frame-by-frame work.
Procedural Clock uses a short setup: click Create Clock, set your time and color, then adjust the hologram and effects. From there you can control layout options like size, spacing and borders, set the hologram's layer depth, and apply screen effects such as scanlines and grids. The glitch system adds distortion, jitter and pixel shifting for a cyberpunk look. Each of these is adjustable, so you can shape the display after the initial clock is created.
Procedural Clock is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly. The tool is released under an MIT license and comes with product updates and a support period from Blender Easy. If you want to confirm what's included before downloading, the developer's page is the place to verify the latest details.
