Questions tagged [geometry-nodes-fields]
Fields are a feature of Geometry Nodes added in Blender 3.0, "a function: a set of instructions that can transform an arbitrary number of inputs into a single output". Fields make 3.0 Geometry nodes very different than 2.93's version. Use this tag for questions related to the use of fields in Geometry Nodes
