3D node
Join Geometry
Merges up to four geometry inputs into a single mesh, using plain concatenation or real CSG Union/Intersect/Difference. Each input's own transform is baked in before combining.
What it does
Join Geometry is a 3D node: it builds, changes or lights geometry that Render 3D turns into a picture. It takes 3D shape in and gives 3D shape out.
Try it
Feed two overlapping spheres in Difference mode to carve a hole through one with the other.

Inputs and outputs
Inputs
- 3D shape geo A
- 3D shape geo B
- 3D shape geo C
- 3D shape geo D
Outputs
- 3D shape out
Controls
Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
| Control | Range or options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| mode | Merge, Union, Intersect, Difference | 0 |
| material from input | 0 to 3 | 0 |
