Outliney Thing

Hello, it's me, Wade!

Download my blend file here!

I was doing some work and I was looking for a way to easily create some wall geometry. My initial thought was just doing some edges and using Blender's Geometry Nodes to extrude them up and then use a solidify or curve to mesh to give them thickness but those things don't handle intersections nicely.

Totally irrelevant sidebar: I actually found out just as I had gotten this working that the solidify modifier got an update at some point and it actually can handle intersections quite nicely and so all of this was unecessary, but was still a fun little project to learn some geometry nodes.

So I made this monstrosity and I'm really unsure of what I've done, I feel like I don't quite understand how to use fields properly and so I've probably got way more "sample index" nodes than I need and I feel like I could've grouped a lot more of the logic, but I kept running into problems when I tried since even if the nodes I grouped returned a single value, once I grouped them they returned a field again and I was just kind of confused.

Anyway, I posted it to Reddit and wanted to share the nodes so that others could look if they were curious and almost immediately someone posted something that would have been incredibly useful had I found it while I was researching how to do this. You can look at their work here:

My first post

Hello,

It's me, Wade, the creator of this cool website. I wanted a place to document projects I'm working on in my spare time, or whatever the heck else.

I guess this is my first post and it is about this website! 😮😮😮 🎉🎉🎉

I initially just wanted something pretty basic, I'm not really a web person and I'm also not really good at programming, but I do have a little bit of experience with HTML and CSS so I thought I'd give it a go. I started making my website and when I went to make an include for my header I realised that HTML has no way of doing includes without some php or other incantations. I had a peep around and it seemed like 11ty (or Eleventy) was what I was after. It aligns really well with my views on the modern internet (it is terrible and I hate it) and seemed like it would be simple enough to learn.

So far the current setup is That I'm using only HTML and CSS, and then I use Eleventy (with Nunjucks and Markdown) to make my includes and content and what not. Then I'm using github pages and a github action to build it and push it to the internet whenever I make a commit. This is kind of reckless and I've broken it many times, but I think that's all part of the fun.

I will say that Eleventy is pretty cool and has been quite easy to get started with. If anyone is curious about making their own website I reccomend it!

Until next time,

Wade.
