Hello, I have drafted a quick tutorial about writing a custom geometry node for Blender, any feedback is more than welcome!
Thanks for writing that. Couldnāt spot an error yet.
Just wanted to mention that the callbacks you mention in the Other Callbacks section all probably shouldnāt be used with geometry nodes currently (donāt think there is any node that uses those currently).

Thanks a lot for proof reading it! Iāve removed the Other Callbacks section then.
I may add extensions while I go a bit deeper into the dynamic definition of nodes at runtime (for registering OpenMfx nodes from plugins at startup).
edit: Also, quick question, what are the padding rules for node DNA?
Thanks for the detailed post!
As a complete beginner at coding for blender (And in C), I tried to follow your guild as close as possible but got some errors nonetheless.
Can you point me to my mistakes?

Thanks a lot @aryeramaty!
I indeed forgot to define PropertyRNA *prop; at the beginning of def_geo_pizza. As for the line with [...] in it that meant ālook at examples from around in the same fileā but I admit it was not clear, I explicited it.
So, Iāve updated the code bloc defining def_geo_pizza let me know if it is now clear enough!

Thanks! Itās much clearer now, but I still couldnāt make it. Although this time I got a different error so I guess it is an improvement

Maybe you forgot to declare void register_node_type_geo_pizza(void); in source/blender/nodes/NOD_geometry.h?
Thank you very much 
Here is another one available online, the more resource we have on this subject the better!

Oh I know, itās an undefined reference, meaning the linker does not find the implementation, which suggests you forgot to add node_geo_pizza.cc to source/blender/nodes/geometry/CmakeLists.txt, and the diff confirms so!
Itās actually even more embarrassing I have forgotten to save the CmakeLists.txt after changing it.
Anyway, now I got another problem, the build is working fine but the pizza node is crushing blender (when connecting it to the output). 
This is the crush file:

Oh, could you run in it in a debugger to get more information about the location of the crash in the code and the value of variables when it occurs?
Hi, sorry for the delay, Iāve been trying to debug the build by myself, then I realize I still donāt have enough coding experience for this.
As I said, I have a little practical coding experience so itās not that surprising.
I did find that the crash happened at the drawing stage, but not much about the variable.
I guess it would be better if I reuploaded the diff and let someone more knowledgeable solve this.
error_pizza1.txt (12.4 KB)
Hi, after going through the whole doc couple of times, I have some feedback.
But take it with a pinch of salt as I am talking from the perspective of an inexperienced coder.
Anyway, this is my list:
- Every bit of code should be inside a code block. Currently, most of the code is written inside code blocks, but some are only described without the actual lines of code(putting all the functions in a namespace, defining a number in BKE_node.h, adding node item in nodeitems_builtins.py, etc.). Itās much harder to locate mistakes/missed lines that way.
- Itās still unclear to me where the name āGeometryNodePizzaā is coming from (when registering the node item).
- A list of all the modified files could also help when tackling mistakes.
- After mentioning ācustom storageā, it would be nice to know in which circumstances you canāt use the regular storage.
Thatās everything I can think of right now.
All in all, the tutorial is very straightforward, I even applied it successfully to another node.
And if I have done it, anyone can. I think I am the only person on this planet that uses blender to learn C++. 
And again, thank you very much, I had a great time following it.

Thank you so much for writing this tut! I would have never found all the places where one needs to change so many things.
First, it wouldnāt compile, and I figured that while your olives_count may range from 0ā¦1000, the struct NodeGeometryPizza defines a uint8_t, which Blender complained about with a BLI_STATIC_ASSERT, āinvalid limitsā. So I changed the uint8_t to an int32_t and the whole thing compiled! (Iām using Blender 3.2 on an Intel mac)
However, I then had the same problem as aryeramaty: Blender crashes as soon as the mesh socket is connected to the output. After inspection of the crash file, I think that the problem is in the mesh generation. On comparing your code with node_geo_mesh_primitive_ico_sphere.cc, I discovered that there are a lot of differences, maybe the code has changed a lot from 3.1 to 3.2?
Anyhow, you gave me a clue as to where to start if I want to make my own nodes, so thanks again for that!
PS: Hereās the output from the commandline when running Blender and adding a pizza:
me@mini-van-me blender % /Users/me/blender-git/build_darwin/bin/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender

PPS: I canāt add the crash-report because Iām a newbie 
Diverging a bit, but does anyone know if there any plans for a python script node so to not go through the full process of compiling blender?
Lukas Tƶnne is working on a node that would allow you to write python(-like) code which would transpile into a MultiFunction. He has a short description of it here (not sure how up-to-date this is regarding his plans though): blender/geometry_nodes_script.md at geometry-nodes-script Ā· lukas-toenne/blender Ā· GitHub

Hi guys,

can any one help me to fix it?
Thank you
@aryeramaty Sorry I could not find the time to test you very diff to debug (Iām working on my own branch, it takes a lot of time to switch to a vanilla Blender to test this). Thanks a lot for your feedback. Youāre not the first to report that a clear list of modified code would be easier to follow, so Iāll improve this (as well as the list of modified files). I just donāt want the tutorial to become a series of copy paste to execute blindly, because this would not be as helpful and would be less robust to changes in the code base. ANyways, I can do better and I will!
@aryeramaty @Hermenator Use the debugger to troubleshot the issue. When running your custom Blender with a debugger (gdb if youāre on linux, Visual Studio in Debug mode on Windows, or whatever other solution), than a segmentation fault should trigger the debugger and let you explore at the very moment of the crash the line of code that was being executed, the value of variables in the scope, the stack of function calls that lead to this line, etc. Itās close to impossible to debug this kind of runtime error without using a debugger. 
@Kanzari-Haithem I actually bumped into this issues multiple times on other machines than mine, and I donāt know what causes this and it is really annoying, let me know if you find out. In my experience this happens in Release mode but not in Debug mode.
