[Bf-committers] Everything Nodes

[David Fenner]

I remember a few demos by lukas toenne in which he had prototypes working
with modifier nodes and particle nodes. Actually he was making arrays and
such with nodes... Sadly I can't find the videos right now... but clearly
he should be able to help you a little, maybe share his first attempts.
