In Blender with Geometry Nodes, we can create several mesh instances (copies of a mesh), distribute them along a curve, and slide them along this curve to the desired position.

When we create a Geometry Nodes node tree by a script, after building the node tree itself, the Geometry Nodes attributes need to be set in order to access these attributes from other areas, for example, from the Shader Node tree.

With Geometry Nodes in Blender, we can easily transform any object into its UV map.
And it is not necessary to bake the coordinates transformation of its points into shape keys. With the Geometry Nodes, we can do this very simply.

We can make a mesh move along a curve in Blender using Geometry Nodes. Let’s take a simple example of how to do this.
When we create complex shaders in Blender, consisting of a large number of node groups, the menu for adding new nodes to the material gets clogged up very quickly. In a long list of node groups, it becomes difficult to find the one we need, and even a search does not always save the day. The list of node groups in the menu can be reduced by hiding unnecessary node group names from it.
The Mapping node does not exist in Blender Geometry Nodes by default. However, we can build it ourselves.
Input parameters from Blender Geometry Nodes are automatically placed on the “Geometry Nodes” modifier panel in the “Properties” window on the modifier tab. However, this tab is not always open, and it is not always convenient to switch to it to adjust values. For quick access to the input parameters of Geometry Nodes, we can duplicate them on the custom panel in the 3D Viewport window.

With the coordinates of the UV, we can manipulate not only materials but also the geometry of the mesh itself. We can connect the UV coordinates with the mesh geometry using “Geometry Nodes” in Blender.
