mat/MeshBuilder

Builds a custom mesh material from a graph of code/* shader nodes.

Builder

A material whose shading is authored as a node graph: its children are code/* nodes (a code/Output sink fed by e.g. code/LightingModelPBR, reading geometry via code/Globals and code/Attribute). Create it inside a geo/MaterialNetwork and point a geo/Material at it.

Physics Simulation (RBDs, with Interaction)

Animated

A rigid-body simulation with many objects where your cursor drive one of them, allowing you to interact with the others.

Rendering Physics

PBR spheres (roughness / metallic gradient)

A grid of spheres shaded by a material built node by node. Roughness and metallic are read from point attributes, so the surface changes across the field instead of being one uniform value.
