This walkthrough details how to use the CGFigures Perovskite Builder, a free, custom geometry nodes setup for making perovskites of all kinds and even some cubic lattices.

This project was a major undertaking that I've been refining and revisting for some time. I'll be demonstrating more of its features in future videos where I tackle cover and figure recreations and hopefully showcase how these types of node networks can really help working scientists who are just getting started with Blender quickly make complex figures.

    Hi, nice work for scientists. Kindly guide me, shadows are not visible in all modes, i.e rendering, wireframe and solid modes. What should I do? I searched a lot on YouTube but unable to solve this issue. Why shadows are not shown/visible in my work while I applied all lights but invain. I used material effect on wavy layers and also applied glass effect on the layer. Kindly guide me. Thanks in advance.
  • Really like the video. Can you sell final model on blend swap? There is only builder for perovskite. Is it some how possible to buy finished model?
