Smoke and dragons 🐉 Attribute flow using change in normal direction (I promise vertLab is nearly done!) #b3d #geometrynodes

I think I figured out curvature direction in Blender...

Based on this generalization of Schlick's Bias & Gain: arxiv.org/html/2010.09... With added input bias for the s parameter to make the values -1 to 1 instead of 0-inf

Oh wow I need to read things before I post, that second sentence is a car crash 💥

All icons and tooltips finally done for vertLab! What was supposed to be 9 tools will now shipping with 25 🙃

Here we're looking at - "Attribute from Objects" creating a distance mask. - "Attribute Remap" remapping the values. - "Simple Displace" displacing verts based on this attribute.

Attribute Flow!! 💧 (Scope-creeping vertLab again) #b3d #geometrynodes

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

I would have assumed that worked, sorry! Seems like a valid feature request, I wonder what other tools don't support symmetry

110

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

There are symmetry options in the toolbar, they should allow for symmetrical mesh edits 👍 (Haven't used them much myself though) docs.blender.org/manual/en/la...

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Yes it's all geometry based... you could always bake it to a texture from a subdivided mesh

000

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Yep these tools essentially make/edit/combine vertex groups 👍

More vertLab scope creep: Silhouette Masking 🧑‍🔬 #b3d #geometrynodes

1423

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Scope creep is hitting again! Adding an attribute noise modifier... It's just asking to be available in sculpt mode isn't it? 👀

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Useful for: - Creating attributes to use in materials. - Exporting vertex color e.g. for game engine material blending. - Baking for texture creation.

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

My next release will be "vertLab" 🔬🧪 Tools to create attributes directly on geometry including curvature, ambient occlusion, thickness etc. Roughly 10x faster than my previous free ao solution. (Just needs some final touches, docs etc.) #b3d #geometrynodes

The first step towards a "smart bevel" in Blender... Now all I need to do is fill the gap, how hard can it be? 👀

whacky subD (I'm not sure there's any use for this)

Godot devs on Linux: Change this editor setting if you're on Wayland (I imagine most folk at this point). Over doubled performance for me ⚡ I was concerned that the editor ran better on Windows and I'd have to go back, now it's the other way around 😎

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

That sounds really cool! I'm already considering moving to poly strips but I think I'm suffering from the grass being greener 😅

SpaghetMeNot @spaghetmenot.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Thanks! Yes, but it's just using mesh proximity in geonodes. Sampling a grid seems to limit the distance to the furthest band, proximity is basically infinite 👍️ I'll need to add a normal check to determine the sign so technically right now it's an unsigned distance field.

Smooth shore distance. Hopefully I can use this single map for rock splashes and beach waves 🤞

90% geo with a shader to put green on upwards facing bits. Very subtle textures, here's a shot before I added textures. I'm making use of normalMagic's "Smooth Normals" to improve the geometry's normals: spaghetmenot.github.io/normalmagic/...

Thanks for the feedback! Yes the battery i did in 5 minutes just before posting 😅. I'll revisit before adding to the example file! It has a release on the back loosely based on this kind of 18V battery.
