Tutorial 04: Volumes and Python (Without Snakes)

Hi! In this tutorial, we will learn the fundamentals of volumes and also get started with python coding! That is an incredible amount of fun!

Volumes

The most intuitive 3D mesh to fill up space is to dissect space into many little cubes. Such a box of dissected cells can be placed using the volume node.

Each cell can now carry an attribute. Normal meshes fill up surfaces only but 3D mesh fills up volume.
