When we use “Position”, “Index”, “Normal” or any other nodes from the “Input” group in Blender Geometry Nodes we need to be clear about exactly what information they provide.

In Blender with Geometry Nodes, we can create several mesh instances (copies of a mesh), distribute them along a curve, and slide them along this curve to the desired position.

The Point, Sun, Spot, and Area lights are not meshes, so we can’t assign an Array modifier to them. However, to conveniently and quickly create dynamic sets of lights in one or more rows, we can use the snapping trick.
When entering the object’s local view mode by pressing the “/” key in the viewport window, zooming is automatically turned on so that the selected object occupies the entire window space. However, this is not always convenient.
To disable auto-zoom in local view mode:
Now, when switching to isolated mode, auto-zoom will not turn on.

Switching the selection mode between vertices, edges, and polygons in mesh edit mode is mapped by default to pressing the 1, 2, and 3 keycodes on the keyboard. However, if it is more comfortable to use these hotkeys for other functions, we can change this mapping.

Blender add-on template generator updated to version 1.9.0.
With Geometry Nodes in Blender, we can easily transform any object into its UV map.
And it is not necessary to bake the coordinates transformation of its points into shape keys. With the Geometry Nodes, we can do this very simply.

Open Solid – Blender 3D add-on that allows opening all .blend files with the “Solid” viewport mode, even if they were saved with the “Material Preview” viewport mode.
To apply an object modifier with the Blender Python API we can use the “bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply” operator. However, it processes only the active object.
If we need to apply a modifier, for example – Subdivision Surface, to several selected objects, we need to make each of them active, and then call the “modifier_apply” operator.
