Garlandery is a Blender add-on designed for creating dynamic connections between objects or vertices using curves or garlands. It simplifies the process of drawing garlands, connecting objects, and maintaining their relationships during object movement. Packed with versatile geometry nodes modifiers, Garlandery enables extensive customization while maintaining non-destructive workflows.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Garlands: Create hanging or wrapping garlands between objects or vertices, automatically maintaining connections when objects move.
  • Freehand Drawing: Draw garlands freely from surface to surface for creative, non-linear designs.
