There are features in Blender that users have been waiting decades for. Light linking is one of them, even if users of other programmes find it hard to believe. For Blender users, however, this really is a new feature that Cycles has been given. We want to try it out together with the particle system from Simulation Nodes, which we built in issue 23:04|05. But first we'll add another new feature to Blender 4.0, namely the ability to connect points with curves. The result adorns the cover of this issue. No longer quite (so) tight First download the result of the simulation nodes workshop and open the file - is.gd/simstrings. If you start the animation with the space bar, you will notice how close together the particles are. A tube is to be laid through each of these particles later, which would only result in a lump with this quantity. Therefore, first reduce the density in the modifier panel to 100. String of pearls: By no longer changing the seed from the "Distribute Points on Faces"...
