Questions tagged [simulation-nodes]

Use this tag for questions about Simulation Nodes, a geometry node-based mechanism that allows you to animate geometry (available in version 3.6)

Simulation Nodes are a Geometry Nodes-based feature (available since version 3.6), and provide a variety of additional ways to control geometry in a time-dependent manner. One of their potential use cases is the creation of particle force fields, dynamic collision and attraction controls, loops, and other tools that allow the animation of procedural geometry.

Simulation Nodes: How to make this quite simple curve effect?

I'm trying to learn the simulation nodes but just can't wrap my head around it. This effect probably could be done with the regular geometry nodes, but I think it would be so much simpler with simulation nodes, since you could blast away a new…

Simulation Nodes: How to restart extrude-loop from scratch?

I have this extrude-loop in Simulation Nodes. How can I restart it from scratch every 4th second like a lightning that spawns from the same spot every 4th second?

Controlled repetition of an animation using simulation nodes

I have this animation where I shoot out a bunch of points in a half-circle using simulation nodes. Is there any way to have this animation repeat itself every x seconds, using maybe a value or switch node to control when? I've tried using a scene…

Blender Geonodes - Move colliding Vertices outside of object?

So, I have something like this already: And these are my nodes: My question is: Is there a better way of doing this? Like the offset automatically changing depending on the sphere's speed? Or maybe to move the vertex outside of the sphere with…

Simulation Nodes: How to collide convex hulls?

Geometry Nodes have a node for converting meshes in a collection into convex hull instances. Can that be used with Simulation Nodes to make this happen? I want to use Simulation Nodes further for what I'm trying to do. Rigid bodies are not an…
