PCGEx comes with a collection of “sampling” nodes. They’re basically all designed to extract information & data from their surroundings, one way or another – from overlaps, to line traces, to bounds or proximity.
The general philosophy behind sampling nodes is to expose data, and makes no assumption about their possible usage; hence they all write new data but never modify existing ones; unless you enable blending operations on capable nodes.
“Sampling” may comes out as a bit of a misnomer : contrary to vanilla PCG Sampler nodes, PCGEx’ Sampling nodes do not generate new points, and instead relies on existing points as spatial references to drive queries.
