Integration Boundary: Geometry Nodes and Cycles The goal is to determine whether the execution order of Geometry Nodes that modify the same mesh and feed into a single downstream node is explicitly defined in Blender’s documentation. Current evidence suggests the order is undocumented, potentially leading to unpredictable vertex positions and shading artifac
Procedural Evaluation Blocking Blender's Geometry Nodes system utilizes a dependency graph to update mesh data in real-time. When executing complex procedural setups—such as high-iteration duplication or dense point cloud generation—the evaluation process can heavily tax the system resources. Because the main thread often waits for the modifier stack to comp
