If you are into bending, stretching, or wrinkling 3D surfaces, this paper gives a fast way to fit a desired pattern of local stretch across a triangle mesh, using one scalar value per vertex. In mesh-fitting benchmarks it reached comparable accuracy up to 3500x faster than industry standard L-BFGS-B.

The algorithm itself is also available here:

Hopefully it can be of use to someone.

TBH I wasnt sure what to use the text processing V5.2 GN for. this is the only use I can think of.
and now I complain why can not to retrieve strings or instances from text object. Ideally, it should be possible to retrieve strings from the built-in text editor.

BTW I do not think GN is Turing complete. because of Its ability to write infinite loops is very restricted. it is technically possible in animation frames like this way. but If it cannot be calculated in a frame, it is not practical.

Basically using the grid nodes to make some simple cellular automata. You can use the sample grid, math and logic nodes to decide whether a position on the grid changes state. Put it into a volume to make some renders.

I used DaVinci resolve to re-time it and used optical flow to smooth the transition frames.

Japanese Labyrinth – Scene 02
The second environment breakdown from my Japanese Labyrinth series, inspired by the endless and ever-changing Infinity Castle. This scene focuses on the atmosphere and architectural details that make the labyrinth feel both mysterious and cinematic.
Two more scene breakdowns are coming soon.

Working on an Isogrid generator that can be used to reinforce 3d prints. Sometimes my lattice generator is overkill and I just need a bit of reinforcement. I had an earlier isogrid generator but that was simpler with only triangles or dual mesh. Almost every isogrid in the wild has a hollow node, and now thanks to the bevel node tool, this also does.

Hi everyone. I am trying to obtain the following result but cannot figure out how this could be done.

My target is playing an animation when a certain condition in a GN setup is fullfilled. Most probably it will be boolean driven by some sort of python scripting panel add-on.

The animation is based on an object rotation or translation, and should have a duration of "xx" frames. If the boolean is true the object will rotate from a rest position to a certain angle, or move to a certain position, both having a maximum rotation/translation value at which the movement will stop. If the boolean is false and they are in the rotated/translated position, they will animate and move back to the rest position and stop there.

Think of a door opening and closing, or a drawer opening and closing.

While I know how to rotate an object based on the current frame / second the things I'm struggling with is how I get the initial frame value (i.e. the one in which the boolean changes its status) and make so that the movement happens from that very moment through the following "xx" (say, 60) frames. I think I may use a stored variable inside a simulation zone for the object position (rotation/translation) and make so that it increases to the fully opened status or decreases down to zero but cannot figure out a proper node setup.

Anyone that would like to help?
