Is there a tutorial that explains how to create an individual geometry node? I don't mean a node network, I mean the node itself.

If you meant using python:

If you meant using C++:

If you meant using blender native functionality:

  • Use control+G to group a node, then in the N panel you are able to expose inputs/outputs

    $\begingroup$ Amazing! Would it be possible to program a node with it (C++) without recompiling Blender completely and implement the node independently as an addon? ...or would that only work as an addon via Python? Or would it work at all to implement own nodes as addon? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ although i have no idea - i cannot imagine that this works without recompiling...else there would be hundreds of GN add-ons...wouldn't it? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Chris no you need to recompile, the API is intentionally weak so you'll submit patches $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ That’s great! Would be even greater, if we could change geometry too…or…as in animation nodes - you can use script nodes and do whatever you want!👍🏻 $\endgroup$
