NBSJBeam editorLive

NodeBeam Studio

Visual JBeam editor for BeamNG.drive. Edit nodes and beams in 3D, keep the text file in sync, and bring in reference meshes from one workspace.

Covered by membership.

What it handles01 / 06
  • 013D node and beam editing
  • 02Live JBeam text sync
  • 03Reference mesh import

Made because the
text file wasn’t working.

Every tool here started as a workaround for something slow in the BeamNG pipeline. They stayed because they kept saving hours.

  • live scene

    See the structure before you break it

    Nodes, beams, tris, triggers and an FBX reference in one scene. Rotate the chassis instead of counting coordinates in a text file.

  • two-way sync

    Your JBeam file survives the edit

    Move something in the viewport and the file rewrites in place. Comments, ordering and formatting stay exactly where you left them.

  • native shortcuts

    The shortcuts already in your hands

    G, S, R, axis locks, mirror preview, Blender-style orbit. If you model, there is nothing new to learn.

  • membership

    One key, not five

    The same license opens NodeBeam Studio, the terrain tools and whatever ships next while you are subscribed. No per-tool checkout.

Ten dollars. Everything we’ve built.

Every tool we make, on one key. Stay subscribed for updates and new releases — cancel and you keep the versions you already have. No tiers, no seat counts, no upsell screen.

Didn't expect much for ten bucks. NodeBeam alone has saved me a stupid amount of time.

I was still hacking at jbeam files in Notepad. This fixed that pretty much immediately.

Clean tools, no fluff. Exactly the kind of thing BeamNG modding was missing.

Subscribed on a whim. Still here months later, so that probably says something.

The terrain workflow is legit — way faster than what I was doing before.

If you're building vehicles regularly, just get it. Pays for itself after one project.

Simple setup, does what it says. Hard to find software that doesn't overpromise.

Great for bikes and cars alike. The whole tool orbit is worth the monthly sub.

Ten dollars for everything they've shipped is kind of insane value, honestly.

Finally feels like software made by people who actually mod BeamNG, not just sell to modders.
