Using drivers, we can pass values to the Blender Geometry Nodes tree that cannot be obtained from nodes, for example, the total number of frames in a project animation. However, there are cases when a value needs to be passed from Geometry Nodes to some property of an object not related to GN. In this case, drivers can also help us.

Starting with Blender 4.2, the Capture Attribute node has changed in functionality. If earlier this node always had only one “Value” input and only one “Attribute” output, intended for recording attributes, in addition to the standard geometry socket, then starting with version 4.2, the number of inputs/outputs for recording attributes has been made dynamic.

In order to display the value of a socket on the Geometry Nodes modifier panel in Blender, we simply need to create a link and connect the desired socket of the desired node with an empty socket on the Group Input node. After this, a field appears in the modifier panel in which we can change the value of the desired socket. We can then place this field on the user panel by accessing it as a dynamic property.

Did you know that you can set your own text labels for Reroute nodes in Blender Geometry Nodes? Since Reroute nodes are most often used to simplify and improve the readability of node trees in Geometry Nodes, marking such nodes with a label with a short informational inscription can be very convenient – you will not need to remember or scroll through the tree of nodes every time to find out where this Reroute data comes from.

Typically, the Geometry Nodes tree in Blender is built differently for each mesh. This makes it possible to apply different effects to different objects. However, when we need to apply one effect to many objects in the scene, assigning a separate Geometry Nodes modifier to each of them and duplicating the nodes may be counterproductive. It is much easier to create a collection in which, when an object is placed in it, the desired effect will be applied to it.
