Blender 4.5 brings fresh improvements to Geometry Nodes, making procedural workflows even more powerful and practical. Here are the top five upgrades you’ll likely use in your daily projects:
1. Camera Info Node
Easily access camera-related data like position and view direction, perfect for effects that need to react to the camera’s perspective.
2. Instance Bounds Node
Quickly calculate the size and boundaries of instanced geometry—great for fitting objects into tight layouts or dynamic simulations.
3. Match String Node
A small but useful utility node for string comparisons, helping organize complex procedural setups that involve attributes.
4. Bit Math Node
Adds low-level logic operations for technical artists, enabling more control in procedural systems and simulations.
5. Field Operators: Average & Variance
These new field tools let you analyze and control data distributions, opening creative possibilities in scattering, effects, and motion graphics.
