Geometry Nodes 3.0 Targets

A list of patches and topics that I (Hans) would like to consider prioritizing for geometry nodes in the 3.0 release.

Larger Topics

• Fields Conversion
  • Basic math nodes, field inputs
  • Convert nodes like attribute transfer / proximity
  • Geometry joining, etc.
• Mesh Nodes from Fabian
  • Probably just a couple, but even just merge by distance and one or two others would be very nice
• D11841: Geometry Instancing Almost finished, necessary for the next topic
• D11597: Support modifier on curve objects Finished, waiting on the above patch

Medium Topics

• D11522: String to curve node This fits very nicely with the curve support, and Erik is making quick progress here

Small Topics

• D11810: Cuboid Mesh Primitive
• D11353: Volume Sample Node Straightforward feature that fits nicely with fields
• Curves
  • D11846: Fill Node A fundamental curve operation that I think we should include
  • D12115: Fillet Node Another powerful curve operation
  • D12177: Connect Splines Node Johnny is working on this one
  • D12005: Expose Bezier handle positions attribute Already finished
  • T89505: Read tangent/normal/parameter info for curves Trivial with fields
  • T88630: Support curve component in attribute proximity and attribute transfer nodes
  • D12363: Geometry Nodes: Transfer named attributes in the curve to mesh node Just needs testing
  • The last two curve primitive nodes

3.1

• D12100: Level Set Nodes We had the goal of improved volume support for 3.0. I think this patch is already very useful. But a small amount of design discussion would determine how close it is
