Oh nice, I didn't realize Blender had a visual scripting system. I knew that they had a Python API like Maya, but the visual stuff is a nice feature to have for art teams. I keep telling myself I'm going to force myself to learn Blender one day. It seems to have really matured over the years.

From a quick glance it reminds me of Unreal Niagara, or Unity Visual Effect Graph. Pretty cool.

It has a couple, one for writing shaders and another for manipulating geometry.

You can even combine them - outputting values from the geometry nodes to be used by the shaders.
