Geometry nodes Index viewer
for a beginner geometry nodes learning geometry nodes can be intimidating and the fact that its hard to visualize the data or points you are manipulating does not help either.
but this index viewer node can improve your learning experience, it shows you the index of any vertex, edge or polygon on your mesh making it easier to make selections and other things.
This Node Group lets you view the indices of the vertices, edges and polygons of a mesh. This Node Group only works with Blender 3.0 Beta and above as it uses the new fields system and it is also outputting attributes to shaders. Please watch the video in the second slide which shows some of its features and how to set it up.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Go to File>Append…
- Navigate to the .blend file.
- Go to Index Viewer Fields II.blend\NodeTree
- Select “Index Viewer Fields II [Append This]” and click Append.
