Access Topology Like a Pro with Blender's New Mesh Topology Nodes

In this video we learn 3 of the new mesh topology nodes by creating a bolted panel nodegroup!

The fact you explain the vector maths with simple sketches makes all the difference. Amazing tutorial. Thank you

[marc.levinson]

I keep coming back to your videos because they're just so comprehensive and clear.

[gLittle]

This vid is very helpful - thanks!
As of Blender v. 3.5 the Field At Index node has become the Evaluate at Index node (had to go searching for that info!)

[pitched]

Awesome explanations! I think in your example you didn't need sample index and could have used "evaluate on domain" to get the face corner domain. Sample Index allows for a specific context, which isn't needed here.

[bagoquarks]

In 3.5 the 'Field at Index' node appears to be called 'Evaluate at Index'. The 3.5 documentation uses both names which is confusing. Search docs on 'Evaluate at Index'.

Great thorough and articulate explanations, many thanks

[zboy]

This is amazing stuff. Exactly the kind of low-level awesomeness I've been looking for. Going to take another few re-watches before I understand this, though!

my rusty vector knowleadge hits hard...
back to basic..great tut...

[_blender_man_]

nice speed up option for bolted surfaces :) ! Grate tutorial ! thanks again!

[SanctusArt]

Great tutorial and great nodes to play with. Thank you

[UHStudio]

Nice technique and thanks for explaining more conisely how the new nodes work!

[lopoisaac]

Thanks! This is going to be very useful for the Nodevember challenge! 😊

[eclecticgamer]

Thanks for this. I'm going to try and make a node-group that will replace the ultra-slow "mesh boolean" ops command node.

Such a great video, Johnny! Previously, I would've just added a single bolt then used mirror modifiers to place them in all the corners 😂 - oh man I love geometry nodes!

[MalmqvistM]

Love this! This is the stuff I’m looking to learn.

For example Im trying to find the topmost edge for each mesh island and suspect I can use the mesh island index. Just can’t figure it out yet…

Your buddy Erindale recommended your channel. 🥰

Hey thank you so much for this video !! very clear and grounded and simple.
I tried to implement this workflow with a point that is external to the geometry. Maybe you know why i'm having issue when integrating sample nearest (face) --> corners of face --> vertex of corners --> field of index --> sample index ? The idea is to hook an external point to the closest face, and use attributes to transfer to animated same topology mesh

[Mr_SteveD]

This was very good! Keep the same format plz.

[nickpendragon]

Great video. 🙂 Is there any way to know if a normal is facing inward or outward?

[Pro_Data]

Awsome video. Can this technique be used to create an offset faces or mesh?
