Finally got the Geometry Nodes modifier UI showing correctly in a pop up with Python thanks to the new 'is_input_visible' and 'is_input_used' methods added by Alex Tkachyov. projects.blender.org/blender/blen... Still can't draw regular modifiers completely correctly. #b3d #Blender3D #bpy

I don't think I was helped by having the beginning of the animation so murky, so here are some stills. #b3d #blender3d

Courtesy of Jacques Lucke, geometry nodes can now display menu sockets in their 'Expanded' mode, similar to other parts of Blender. projects.blender.org/blender/blen... #b3d #Blender3d #GeometryNodes

Two node groups in Blender's node editor. The left one has a menu socket displaying normally. The right one has a menu socket displayed as two buttons next to each other.

Had no idea that the 'Compression' option when saving .blend files made *such* a difference. Found that it reduces files to roughly 10% their size. #b3d #Blender3d

Windows Explorer window with two blend files in details view. One is 108 megabytes, the other is underlined in red and is 13 megabytes.

Like others, I've been experimenting with converting a 3D scene to brush strokes using Geometry Nodes for use in a project. Obviously, a slightly exaggerated effect shown here. Will probably not use the bump at all in the project it's for. #b3d #Blender3D #GeometryNodes
