If, after opening one .blend file, we need to view data from another .blend file, we can use the temporary data (temp_data) context.

One of the usual operations in modeling is extruding a mesh from a plane of a certain profile along a given curve so that a three-dimensional shape is obtained. This could be done using Blender Geometry Nodes.
By default, shader nodes in Blender have all input and output sockets in the shape of a circle. However, if necessary, the shape of the socket can be changed.
In Blender when assigning custom properties to vertices using the bmesh layer system, this data can then be accessed directly from the object, through its attributes.

Blender provides a great possibility for creating procedural textures and materials. In particular, in Blender, we can create interesting procedural textures for planets. However, Blender’s node system is not compatible with third-party renders and game engines, and procedurally generated textures need to be baked into an image.

The simplest “Inset Faces” operation – extruding polygons individually into themselves, can be done in Blender Geometry Nodes with just two nodes.

By default, the Group Output node from Blender Geometry Nodes node tree, has two inputs. The first one, with index 0, is the base input for the geometry. The second input, with index 1, is virtual, used to create new inputs – when we connect a link to it, a new input of a certain type is automatically created on its place.

There are several modes in Blender for hiding objects: common hiding, hiding for all scenes and view layers, and hiding for render. Any of these modes can be enabled or disabled using the Blender Python API.
In order to move mesh vertices using the Blender Python API without leaving EDIT mode we need to use bmesh structure. With it, we can conveniently manipulate all the geometry of the object.
