Distribute objects along mesh borders
With Geometry Nodes in Blender, we can quickly distribute many small objects along the boundaries of a single large mesh and adjust the size of the footprint or area.

MatCap based on shader nodes
MatCap is a material with just one texture, but it allows to quickly and conveniently show how a mesh will look with a certain material and in a certain light. When we assign a MatCap by selecting it in the 3D viewport shading options (Shading – Lighting – MatCap), the MatCap is assigned to all objects in the scene at once. However, if we need to selectively assign a MatCap to some meshes, MatCap can be emulated using shader nodes.
Blender Geometry Nodes based maze pattern
With Blender Geometry Nodes, we can create seamless patterns by arranging and combining separate elements in the desired way. This principle is named the “Truchet tiles”. For example, let’s create a seamless procedural pattern of a classic labyrinth with rounded corners.
Scaling polygons to center on Blender Geometry Nodes
Using Blender Geometry Nodes, we can create a simple and effective technique for scaling mesh polygons to their center.

Spatial Funnel on Blender Geometry Nodes
Using Blender Geometry Nodes, we can very easily and quickly create the effect of a spatial funnel with animation.
Array with Blender Geometry Nodes
With Blender Geometry Nodes we can create one-, two- and three-dimensional arrays of objects, just like we created them with the Array modifier. And even better, the arrays created with Geometry Nodes do not multiply the geometry, which affects the viewport speed, memory consumption and scene size.
Wave text extrude with Blender Geometry Nodes
By combining text extrusion with a simple mathematical operation, we can get an interesting effect of volumetric text in waves.
Text along curve with Blender Geometry Nodes
Bending text along a curve is one of the spectacular techniques for creating various unusual and interesting inscriptions. In Blender, this can be done using Geometry Nodes.
Text countdown
Blender Geometry Nodes has a number of nodes for working with text strings. There are nodes that allow us to convert numbers into text, and replace substrings in a text string. As an example, let’s implement a “countdown” from ten to zero words.
Filling a curve with random size objects on Blender Geometry Nodes
With Blender Geometry Nodes, we can fill the curve with the required number of objects. We can also make the fill a little more interesting by changing the size of the fill objects randomly.
