Just messing around with geometry nodes for the first time.
A question:
Is it possible to distribute an object in some non random way?
Say for example you have a grid and you want to distribute another object (say, little spheres) in a regular pattern, for example at each vertex of the grid.
Is there some way to do that?
I think you can do that with a particle system, but i want to make use of the exciting possibilities of geometry nodes.
When you create a node tree, initial geometry info has the points as the vertices of the original mesh. In the grid case, you can use those vertices right from the geometry input node.
It also allows you to put a random amount of items.
-Geometry is the original object geometry with vertex groups
-vertex_group is, obviously, the vertex group where you want your objects
-seed is the random seed
-random_cut is a range of 0 to 1 for the randomness, if you leave it at 0 it will use all the vertices
The output gives you the points to instance your object:
