Geometry Proximity Node

The Geometry Proximity node computes the closest location on the target geometry.

Совет

The Map Range Node is often helpful to use with the distance output of this node to create a falloff with a maximum distance.

Входы

Target: Standard geometry input.
Source Position: The given position to calculate the closest location on the target.

Свойства

Target Element

Грани (Faces): Calculate the closest point anywhere on the faces of the target’s mesh geometry.
Ребра (Edges): Calculate the closest point anywhere on the edges of the target’s mesh geometry.
Points: Calculate the closest point or vertex on the target geometry. This mode is usually the fastest. This mode works for both point cloud and mesh geometry, the other modes only work for meshes.

Выходы

Положение: Closest location on the surface of the target mesh, or the closest point in the target point cloud in Points mode.
Расстояние: Distance (as floating-point value) from the source position to the closest location in the target.

Примеры

The different modes of the node: faces, edges and points. In this example the Geometry Nodes modifier is added on the target plane. Note that the larger plane is subdivided and the smaller plane is not.
