This video is a walkthrough for using the free asset I created for quickly and easily making and animating custom device stack figures.

*A note about working with boolean cutouts: Parent them to the device stack if you want to move the stack around in your scene.

  • Hello! Very awesome work, thanks! Is there a way to animate a layer being "etched" with this tool? I tried using shape keys but they don't record the edits made in the geo nodes.
