Topology
Updated: 30 Oct 2024
Topology
These nodes create and destroy any type of Geometry. By changing the topology, new shapes and surfaces can be created from the original geometry, for much more complex effects. It’s important to be mindful of the geometry these nodes are applied to - High polygon counts can cause have significant performance and processing costs, and poor topology can generate erratic results.
