We recently improved the spreadsheet in Blender in multiple ways:
* Context path moved to the side making space for menus.
* Columns can be resized/reordered.
* It remembers the order of columns.
* Supports horizontal scroll wheel.

Blender now automatically hides #GeometryNodes inputs if their usage depends on a menu input. This allows building higher level node groups without having to show all the inputs all the time. #b3d #devfund

We worked on improving the workflow for frame nodes in Blender. See the blog post below for more details. #GeometryNodes #b3d #devfund

This week I wrote a couple of proposals for new Blender features. Feedback is welcome. See the thread below for individual links. #b3d #devfund

Also, the document on declarative systems in #GeometryNodes is available on the blog now: code.blender.org/2025/05/decla

I wrote a document describing how we want to make it possible to build high level and easy-to-use node group assets for physics simulations and more. #b3d #devfund #GeometryNodes

Blender 4.4.1 was released today!

If you're on 4.4, definitely update to 4.4.1, as it fixes >100 bugs. But if you're on 4.3, also do the update, as 4.4 is just more stable and polished.

And yeah, we fixed quite a few things in slotted Actions too. Go grab the fresh one.

The Set Mesh Normal node has just been added to #GeometryNodes. It allows adding and modifying custom normals, opening up many new possibilities. #b3d #devfund

Besides being able to import data into #GeometryNodes, Blender 4.5 will have a much better foundation for accessing and exporting the evaluated geometry data via the Python API. #b3d #devfund

In Blender 4.5 one can import some file formats directly into #GeometryNodes: obj, stl, ply and csv (numeric data only). This can simplify some workflows quite significantly. #b3d #devfund
