Also check out the addon Sverchok, I think at the moment it is still much more powerful than the new geometry nodes, basically a full-blown Grasshopper (from Rhino3D) alternative. Would be nice to see it added into the main program at some point. https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok

How to add nodes? It seems than right-click doesn't work in your canvas/workspace, also it's static, I mean can't zoom in-out, also, the node itself is not collapsible, ... Also, if I ware you, wouldn't fix input and output nodes, instead I would add input and output nodes into node menu and let they be free on canvas But I like four things in your approach: collapsible components/lists, typing/defining input values of nodes directly on canvas, adding new variables, and sub-graphs See how real nodes are: https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok/pull/3284

I know of Sverchok, a Blender plugin to do parametric modeling based on nodes/dataflow/visual programming (if you know what I mean). http://nikitron.cc.ua/sverchok_en.html https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok

Non-destructive editing is overrated imho. In fact, one of the reasons I used Blender to model instead of Maya was its destructive editing features. Even though I had a full, legal access to a Maya workstation through college, I preferred Blender. I found that most of the time, Maya's construction history was more of a hindrance, and if your scene file started acting funny for a reason you couldn't figure out, you just had to delete all the construction history. For this reason, working in Maya always felt a little precarious, and Blender's relatively crude modifier stack felt more predictable. Now, I was doing 3d, cartoony animation when I was working in Maya, and one could argue that non-destructive tools aren't that applicable to that context anyways. Fair enough -- if you need to change the inner radius of a torus after you've di
