    • Looking for general alignment / feedback on direction
    • Open Questions:
      • Main question / next step: How do we handle sharing of datablocks that are used both by the current file’s geometry nodes as well as the brush assets?
        • Hans will talk to Julian about this in the context of the Asset System to help unblock this work.
      • To what extent do we extract the brush step concept into input nodes?
      • Active Mesh node needs some consideration.
    • Conclusion: In general, we agree with direction, there is plenty of feedback that could go into some of the future work, but we have other blocking items listed above that need to get solved first.

Need Help
