Materials marked with \**(UV)\** need UV coordinates to be applied correctly to your model. UV coordinates define the location and orientation of the texture on the model.

## 😶‍🌫️ Geo Nodes!

I wanted to experiment with the potential of Geo Nodes by creating procedural golden spheres that fit perfectly into any mesh, just like in Keyshot!<br>

This is just an initial experiment, but if you like this type of content and would like to see more, please feel free to let me know!

**How do they work?**

Spheres are procedurally generated using Geo Nodes, a powerful tool within Blender that allows you to create complex geometries in a flexible and customizable way.

In this case, the spheres automatically adapt to the surface of the mesh to which they are applied, taking on its shape and following its curvatures.

**Why use them.**&#x20;

Procedural gold spheres can be used to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your 3D models.

They are perfect for decorating objects, creating jewelry, or simply to give a richer, more detailed look to your scenes.
