Using the Edge Angle node, which allows us to determine the angle on a common edge of two neighboring polygons, we can easily create an analogue of the “shade autosmooth” function – automatically turning on a smooth shading depending on the polygons angle.

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.

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.

In order to bind the “face” direction of one object to another object, Blender usually uses the Track To constraint. However, if necessary, we can make the same tracking constraint using Geometry Nodes.
