I have a mesh where each face is separated from each other. I'd like to add some motion to the faces by their vectors, but if I bring this object to geometry nodes I get only one instance imported (a whole object itself). Is there any way to use this object as a bunch of instances so I could affect faces separately from each other?
(the cube is just an example)

$\begingroup$ How did you import this object to GN? as single object or as collection? $\endgroup$– HarisreedharCommented Dec 18, 2021 at 4:49

$\begingroup$ A single object. With collections the solution is simple. But I’m trying to achieve non-destructive pipeline so I need the mesh as one object here. $\endgroup$– 3DBearCommented Dec 18, 2021 at 6:27

$\begingroup$ Ah, Ok, apologies. My answer had a collection as well. $\endgroup$– common_goldfishCommented Dec 18, 2021 at 6:29

This setup shows basic transformation based on its face center.

$\begingroup$ Dang! The position node should have it been >0< I tried to achieve this with the mesh island and normal nodes all this time T_T Thanks! =) $\endgroup$– 3DBearCommented Dec 18, 2021 at 9:57

$\begingroup$ Using this technique, would it be possible to have them only rotate from the bottom edge for example, or would you need to have them as separate instances? $\endgroup$– NeilCommented Jun 24, 2022 at 12:13
