This really does open new era of 2d/3d mixing in Nodes.

So Grok 4 came out and I always wanted Figma integration in
nodes.io so I vibe coded myself one. No more genAI videos in your mockups. Bring mockups to you art instead!

Can gemini-cli learn how to program in @nodes_io?
Let's find out.

I've scanned all nodes from past projects and prompted Gemini to create new node converting 3d mesh into Octree representation. It was able to get the right node+port syntax on first try, same for geometry outputs, onChange handling

Picked yet another veg from my garden to feed the algorithm.

The flowers should be instanced only on the end of smallest branches but instead they got instanced at every vertex creating this centipede.

Strange new worlds.
Following the rabbit hole of broken Spirit Plants.

Spirit Plants depends on a Draft WebGL extension (WEBGL_multi_draw_instanced_base_vertex_base_instance) and disabling it creates strangle looking and repetitive aliens.

Cloth simulation with metallic material is a beautiful mix. Counterintuitive (metal should be right) yet feels natural.

Deep work in headphones mode.
No I don't need the quadtree. But it looks cool.
