Mesh to Faces

What it does

Mesh to Faces 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

Stand a small object on every face of a dodecahedron.

Mesh to Faces→Instance on Points→Render 3D

Inputs and outputs

Controls

Every control with a range can be driven by a modulator, a note, an audio level or a sketch.
