Earns its place in the Blender extensions library for putting per-node documentation right where you build, with hover coverage across 332 Geometry Nodes, pitfall warnings, and pairing suggestions, all open source under GPL v3.
Geo Nodes Guide shows documentation inside the Geometry Nodes editor when you hover over any node, so there's no tab-switching to look up what a node does or how to use it. Each tooltip includes a description, common uses, pitfalls to avoid, and real workflow examples.
The add-on documents 332 nodes, covering mesh operations, curves, instances, volumes, simulations, and more. Pitfall warnings flag quirks such as which inputs expect radians versus degrees, or when you need to realize instances first. "Often Combined With" suggestions point to nodes that pair well together.
Tooltips dismiss with ESC and can be toggled on or off at any time. A built-in feedback button lets you report issues or suggest improvements for specific nodes. Geo Nodes Guide is open source under the GPL v3, and anyone is welcome to explore the code, contribute improvements, or add translations. It requires Blender 5.0.
Geo Nodes Guide is best for beginners learning Geometry Nodes, intermediate users filling knowledge gaps, and experienced artists refreshing on nodes they haven't used in a while.
Geo Nodes Guide is completely free to download and use.
Geo Nodes Guide is compatible with Blender 5.0 and newer, which is the version listed as its requirement. The add-on works inside the Geometry Nodes editor, showing its hover documentation directly over the nodes you're working with. If you're running an older Blender release, you'll need to update to 5.0 before installing. Compatibility details and any future version support are noted on the developer's page at geonodesguide.com, which is worth checking before you install to confirm your setup matches.
Geo Nodes Guide installs like other Blender extensions. You can drag and drop the downloaded file into Blender, or download it and install from disk through Blender's extensions preferences. The add-on requires no special permissions. Once enabled, hovering over any Geometry Node brings up its tooltip inside the editor. The package is small, at around 91 KB, so installation is quick. For step-by-step guidance on installing from disk, Blender's own extensions documentation covers the process, and the developer's page offers more detail.
Geo Nodes Guide is listed as free here and is released as open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Being open source, anyone is welcome to explore the code, contribute improvements, or add translations. For current licensing terms and the latest download, check the developer's page at geonodesguide.com. The GPL v3 license also governs how you can use, modify, and redistribute the add-on, so it's worth reviewing if you plan to build on or share the code.
Geo Nodes Guide is designed to stay out of the way when you don't need it. You can press ESC to dismiss a tooltip, and the documentation can be toggled on or off at any time. This means the hover documentation only appears when you want it, rather than crowding the editor while you work. The add-on also includes a built-in feedback button, so you can report issues or suggest improvements for specific nodes directly, which helps shape future updates.
