Simplifying the node tree using several Group Input nodes

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 02.10.2023

Creating beautiful and impressive procedural shaders or geometric nodes in Blender requires building complex node trees consisting of a large number of nodes and many connections (links) between them. After some time it becomes difficult to track where this or that link, stretched across the entire node tree “on three screens”, begins and where exactly it ends. A simple trick can help to simplify the node tree a little and reduce the number of connections – using several copies of the Group Input node.

Showing indices for mesh vertices in Blender

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 27.09.2023

When working with mesh geometry using the Blender Python API, it is often necessary to visually control which vertices are processed by scripts and which are not. Ordinary Blender users may also find it useful to be able to navigate the mesh’s vertices by their numbers.

Removing vertex selection for BMesh

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 25.09.2023

As with normal mesh manipulation via the Blender Python API, when using the BMesh object to deselect vertices, it is not enough to simply change the value of their “select” property to the opposite. To deselect the vertices of the BMesh object, the “select” value must also be changed for the edges and polygons adjacent to them.

Simple Cast To Sphere modifier in Blender using Geometry Nodes

Leave a Comment / Blender 3D / Nikita / 13.09.2023

Most Blender modifiers can be realized using Geometry Nodes. For example, to make meshes “spherical” we can realize the Cast To Sphere modifier with only 5 geometry nodes.
