Blender 5.0 Introduces Bundles and Closures for Geometry Nodes
Blender 5.0 adds two new socket types—bundles and closures—that reshape how Geometry Nodes are built, enabling higher‑level, flexible tool creation without deep technical knowledge.
Blender 5.0 Introduces Volume Grids for Geometry Nodes
Blender 5.0 adds a native volume‑grid data type to Geometry Nodes, unlocking procedural fluid simulation, signed‑distance‑field modeling, and efficient OpenVDB‑based workflows.
Blender 5.0 Geometry Nodes: Highlights from the September 2025 Workshop
The September 2025 Geometry Nodes workshop reviewed the latest design work heading into Blender 5.0, including non‑experimental closures, bundles, new volume grid nodes, list support, and physics‑solver integration.
Blender 5.2 LTS Brings Geometry Nodes‑Based Cloth and Hair Physics
Blender 5.2 LTS introduces a new, node‑driven physics system for cloth and hair. Built as built‑in Geometry Nodes assets and powered by an XPBD solver, the feature is experimental but already supports pinning, tearing, custom effectors, and more.
