Particles Link v5 is here ! 🎉

Particles Link v5 — a brand-new engine and 10 ways to connect your particles

Particles Link just got its biggest update yet. v5 turns your particles into beautiful connected artwork — networks, webs, flowing strands and motion trails — all generated live in the viewport, and it now runs on Blender 5.0.

⚡ A brand-new engine Link generation is dramatically faster, even on very dense simulations. Editing is fully interactive: change a setting and the result updates instantly, right in your viewport.

✨ 10 link styles Pick the look you want and let Particles Link build it for you:

Flow Line — one continuous curve threading through every particle Network — link every particle to all neighbours within range Tree — a single branching tree, with no loops Clusters — link each particle to its closest neighbours Hair — aligned strands that follow the local flow direction Current — flow lines that follow each particle's velocity Cobweb — a sparse, organic web between nearby particles Orb Web — a spider-web shape with a center, spokes and rings Loops — closed circles around each cluster Tracer — particles leave trails built up frame by frame

🧩 Geometry Nodes & Point Clouds Connect points from Geometry Nodes and point clouds, not just classic particle systems — so it fits right into modern Blender workflows.

🛟 Bake & share Bake your links to an Alembic cache (.abc) for instant viewport playback, easy sharing and render farms.

Whether you're after clean technical networks or organic, living webs, v5 gives you the styles and the speed to create them in real time.

👉 Particles Link v5 is available now on Superhive, for Blender 5.0. superhivemarket.com/products/ik-particles-link
