Asset overview
What this node setup does
REQUIRED: assign the target Surface object and an Instance object or Instance Collection. Supply mesh vertices or points as the input. | MESH INPUT: drop on a mesh, or feed mesh geometry to Points. Apply object scale for predictable distances. | Surface tracker - snaps points onto any surface and keeps them there, oriented to the real hit normal with twist. Travel marches them across the surface in steps, re-projecting each step so they follow curvature instead of cutting through. Outputs position, normal, rotation and distance.
Source and setup notes
Source asset name: OMNI - Surface Tracker
Collection: Physics & Solvers/Collisions
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.
