T3D GN Presets

A Collection of Incredibly Useful Nodes for Geometry Nodes - Blender 4.1

💡 Introduction:

• T3D GN Presets contains Node groups for Geometry Nodes, which include Deformers, Fields, UV, Utilities, and much more for free!
• This is an essential component of an artist’s toolkit, enabling users to combine multiple nodes with endless possibilities in non-destructive workflows with existing Blender tools

🪄 Release Notes:

• T3D-GN-Presets (v1.4.0) released on 11.03.2024
• For Blender 4.0 & below, check out the latest releases here

⚙️ Core:

Source Files

• Follow Black code style (6ca7f8b)
• Renamed geonode_groups.json >>> t3d_nodegroups.json
• Renamed geonode_nodes.blend >>> t3d_nodes.blend

Repository

• Renamed branch name from Master to main to avoid grammar conflicts.
• Include workflows for linting

🎉 New Nodes, Features & Changes:

🎆 New Features & Changes:

• Icon in the add menu has been changed to 🔹 similar to other Geometry Node-based addons. (c6e1442)
• Rotation inputs are changed to Rotation Sockets
• Position and Normal inputs are set as default
• Geometry To Spline inputs selection. Supports Mesh, Curve, and instances. Adapted new Points to Curve node. (0a2f609)
• Instancers get option panel for inputs. (3df94bc)
• Dropdown menu implemented for Delete Island and Replace Vector
• Seamless Vector does not require inputs for Translation anymore

Deformer

• Deformers no longer support direct input of instances. Realize Instance node must now be used prior to applying deformers. (510b7d1) Deformers as Assets no longer exist. (074b970)

🚨 Depreciated Features:

• Removed Shade Auto Smooth as a replacement for the built-in node.
• Removed SDF nodes (95ae7c2).
• Removed Simple Decimate (95ae7c2).
• Replaced Transform Position with Vector Mapping, expected the same behavior (07b67e8).

🪛 Compatibility

• Make sure to have a supported Blender version and the corresponding addon version.
• Nodes with a Rotation socket are not compatible with Blender versions 4.0 and below.
• Deformer assets will work as expected.
• Depreciate nodes may still function as expected. Nodes modified by the user will remain modified. Changes in newer addon versions are not useful for files migrated from Blender 4.0 and below, as nodes are only appended, not linked.
• The nodes that come with the addon are regular node groups; they do not include any additional code or provide new functionality to existing ones.
• In case of any missing data blocks, raise an issue here.

🎯 Development

• Developments are happening regularly regarding bug fixes, and support for every upcoming Blender Release.
• 🧩 Contributions are always welcomed!

👻 Bug Reports

• Bug reports are always welcomed in the form of reports or suggestions.
• Suggestions can be included with brief explanations of usability.
• Submit Bug reports and feature requests here

📂 Access to Files:

• _init_.py defines the addon followed by t3d_nodegroups.json, which contains a list of categories with nodes.
• t3d_nodes.blend contains all the Node-groups which are displayed under T3D GN Presets
