| Feb 5 at 16:03 | comment | added | Markus von Broady | @Gorgious what inspired this question was the simplicity of a single integer input and the limitation of 7 digits here which could be increased by just 2 more digits and the workaround is not terrible - multiple integer inputs. Of course knowing Python I can make a workaround to any situation offloading the work to Python (and even then if Python doesn't work I can code a binary in some other language and execute it from Python). Still, I'm quite surprised it's so hard within geonodes. | |

| Feb 5 at 11:54 | comment | added | Markus von Broady | @Gorgious string as input works, but if you start with an integer, how do you obtain the string... You can't. So if you read some kind of integer data, be it imported from csv or generated in a random value node etc. you're in a pickle. As for the limit - I was joking with the bug report, but on the other hand, that would be the first programming language I ever used with such a limit. It's rather sad that Blender crashes on something this simple - I think to both of us, the number isn't as scary to think a modern CPU would never finish the job. Less than 20 s for Python actually. | |

Maybe you can do something really dumb and take a string as input, and compare the number of output vertices (assuming they're all different for each digit) . Something like that i.sstatic.net/ptmf4.png | |
