Sample Nearest Node

The Sample Nearest node retrieves the index of the geometry element in its input geometry that is closest to the input position.

This node is similar to the Geometry Proximity Node, but it outputs the index of the closest element instead of its distance from the current location.

Tip

If you want to find nearest to each point in same geometry, its better to use the Index of Nearest node.

Inputs

Geometry

The geometry to sample.

Note

This node only supports point cloud and mesh inputs.

Sample Position

The position to start from when finding the closest location on the target geometry. By default, this is the same as if the Position Node was connected.

Properties

Domain

The attribute domain to consider the distance from.

Outputs

Index

The index of the closest geometry element of the chosen domain.
