Determining the angle between two adjacent mesh edges is necessary, for example, when searching for elements on the model that are too sharp, or, conversely, not sharp enough.

A simple and effective way to give Blender a little personality is to change the boot splash screen image from the default one to your own.
It’s very easy to do.

We can do a lot of interesting and useful things in Blender using Geometry Nodes. For example, finding the surface area of any object.

In most cases, Tools are easiest to activate by clicking on the buttons in the Toolbar (T-Panel). However, when developing an add-on with a custom UI, it may be convenient to transfer the call to the necessary tools to buttons in the user panel.
When creating add-ons for Blender, developers almost always create the user UI panel with tools that provide the main functionality of the add-on. Typically, such custom panels are placed in the N-panel block, called by pressing the N key. However, if it is assumed that the user will often call the panel with add-on tools, its call can be bound to a keyboard shortcut and the panel can be called from the keyboard.

With Geometry Nodes in Blender, we can control the geometry of the mesh, focusing on its bending – the angle between adjacent polygons. This allows, for example, to separate the smooth “organic” geometry and sharp “hard surface” geometry.

To set an icon to a button when creating the custom user UI panel in Blender, we look for the text identifier of the desired icon (usually using the built-in Icon Viewer add-on) and set its value to the “icon” parameter when binding the desired operator to the button. However, the icons used in the tools panel are not existed in the common Blender icons list.
