+===Geometry Nodes===
+[https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/geometry_nodes/index.html Blender Manual Geometry Nodes]
+Geometry nodes allow you to procedurally modify the geometry of the object.
+Some things it can do include instancing of objects, moving vertices, and arithmetic.
+Note that Geometry nodes are available in Blender 2.92+ with some nodes introduced in 2.93 LTS.
+See some references:

+==Materials and Shaders==
+Blender uses a node system for shader which let you composite different textures and BSDFS.
+===Bypass BSDF===
+If you wish to use a raw colors from a texture, bypassing materials altogether, you can directly attach a image texture node output to the material output.<br>
+For transparent textures, you will need a transparent BSDF node and a mix node with alpha connected to <code>mix.outputs["Fac"]</code> to achieve transparency.

+==Rendering and Compositing==
+Press {{key press|F12}} to render.
+===Denoising===
+# In the view layer properties, check <code>Denoising Data</code>
+# Switch to the compositor layout.
+# Add a denoise node, under filter.
+# Attach the denoising normal, denoising albedo, and denoising depth.

+===Python Modules===
+To add modules, install them using pip to the <code>scripts/modules</code> directory of your Blender install:
+<pre>
+python3.9 -m pip install -t=scripts/modules $MODULE
+</pre>
+* If you installed blender using snap, you will need to create another scripts directory somewhere else.
+==Compiling Blender==
+See [https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Linux/Ubuntu],
+Note that Blender has a [https://github.com/blender/blender github mirror] which may be faster to clone.
