Needs to be a fast way in geometry nodes to run a script based on position of vertices
Getting position from points in geometry nodes is difficult, having a way to output each point could be valuable. I realize purpose of geometry nodes is to work with groups of elements, for debugging purposes it would be useful to see individual points. Currently working on trying to create a stitching pattern on a t-shirt like object. Translation for instances works in some cases but in some cases scaling down or offset is dependent upon the current edge. Edges can face inside of mesh yet be in directly opposite directions. Think of trying to outline a maze from a top down view with lines and two walls of the maze are attached, outline requires moving line inside yet that is in opposite directions for both sides of the wall.
The way the Compare node on Geometry Nodes seems to be counterintuitive. I add two integers and add them to the compare node, trying to control adding to a vector if one integer is greater than the other yet controlling the flow is not easy. I can multiply by a vector, yet that is confusing, vectors have 3 dimensions yet booleans are a single value. Boolean true multiplied by x=1, y=1, z=1 carries all values forward yet that is confusing when input shows x,y,z and then takes a boolean.
Making what is single value, versus what is an array of values seems like it could be more perceivable. Unable to perceive difference easily factors into lack of comprehension at least for self. Geometry output is a Circle, and Integer Output is a Circle, and Vector output is a diamond, a bit confusing by default in my opinion.
Ability to name nodes, possibly give a description would be nice as well. Compare less than or greater than has context based on the diagram though not all straightforward comprehension. Compare Less than versus named
“Compare when x<0”, more descriptive naming could help. Has potential for getting confusing with vectors, because you have to create and add vector, then multiply the vector against a boolean, thus the node tree grows a bit larger when doing special case work such as when an item is above or less than a value changing the system.
Easy ability to create a generator script as input node would be nice, could be added to templates. Example translate x+=1,y+=1,z+=1 over 100 frames, could work like the scene time input.
Access to quality tools will factor into who gets to capitalize on 3D Rendering and 3D printing in the future. Blender limited has potential to lead to those with money, that have the money to pay for higher cost software to profit a few at the cost of many, kind of the general way this World and a capitalist system seems to work by default at times. I both like Software Programmers getting paid (I am one, that has invested heavily in open source and haven’t had sufficient funds to help my mother in a critical time, feels defeating, monstrous) and I also don’t like the idea of a few in society utilizing systems like logic, reason, law, and computers for the profit of a few at the cost of many.
Technical Elite Aristocracy is potentially possible, people less than Eistein set to less valuable, less valuable to keep alive seems monstrous.
Blender 3D can be used to create models that help facilitate blueprints for houses. Blender 3D can be used to create models for parts like Water Pumps that factor into access to clean water cheaply or leveraged by a select set of companies. Engineering, Reason, and Logic is claimed as helps create a better World, a better society, yet Standards, Bars, Levels that are acceptable not always set.
Claims as not wasting time, not limiting better in the World, really not all true value added. Faster problems are fixed, factors into more time for fixing problems. God of infinite power gives feeling of delivers desire to make humanity warmer, happier, more equipped for each day? Output from Heaven could be greater, less than all genocide and gas chambers over time seems like precedent for less than sufficient value allowed.
I have desired to make the World a better place, but I have been limited over and over, had projects and my life derailed time after time. If God actually wanted humanity to suffer less, wouldn’t He protect me better? Justice in a World that limits support needs to install Justice for the support limiting, true value out perceived and comprehended unlikely equals unlikely to be able to deliver square deal, fair justice.
Just added a work in progress https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend based on geometry nodes
Needs splashes, turbulence, and gravity physics.
Trying to associate a capture attribute on the Z value of the generated Rain drops. Then apply that using age (basically frame of instance) and having trouble. Hard to capture individual values for each point based on initial conditions using capture attribute then filter into Simulation Node. Trying to do something similar to what I am seeing on https://www.blender.org/download/releases/3-6/ simulation nodes video, yet setting the initial conditions for input value is not capturing. Thus some drops are already closer to ground, desire to have their age values set to less initially thus they splash out quicker than ones that are placed higher using the random points.
Updated
https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend
Now removes drops on 100th frame, desire to remove drops on different frames based on their initial position in the animation. If I attach a random value to the subtract value in the simulation it does not work as expected. Should subtract a random value between 0 and 1 over each frame and just removes all the geometry on the second frame.
20 years of new computing power does not equal what I would expect from 20 years of work. Likely some bad actors reducing support in not fully appreciated ways. Investing in new processors when Software is allowed to amp like jade? Kind of gives feeling of being robbed.
Everyone to realize they are getting 5% of the value they are promised when buying? System that allows oppression is allot of jade, allot of wasted time.
God cares about people having effective tools, cares about their success in supporting one another seems to amplify less than sufficiently. High amount of jade in that. Limiting of support factors into momentum for those that write laws less than sufficiently, those that run society, those that put labels on people and put people in Jail, all funded based on funding that is being robbed from cycles I and many others helped pay for and invested in.
Just updated,
https://github.com/jasonldavis-tech/WorksInProgressBlender/blob/main/Rain.blend
Shows the bug if you move the subtract in simulation to use random node, instead of generating a different random value for each instance it just removes them all on the second frame.
Future seen as not limited out of the gate seems unwise. I would be helping with the code if I was not oppressed, if my input was valued more.
Just added a bench, a 3 seater sofa, and a 2 seater sofa to the Free 3D Assets set.

Added the following file

Trying to work with Armature and default weight painting seems to be less than ideal.
