## What it is
Sorcar is a Blender addon that provides a node-based visual programming environment for procedural 3D modeling, inspired by Houdini. It offers 240+ modular nodes wrapping Blender's Python API for non-destructive, real-time geometry generation.

## Use cases
- create procedural 3D models in Blender without coding
- build non-destructive modeling workflows with node graphs
- generate mesh variations using random seeds and loops
- batch export meshes driven by frame numbers
- visually program geometry algorithms in a node editor

## When to choose
- you want Houdini-style procedural modeling inside Blender
- you prefer visual node-based workflows over scripting
- you need non-destructive parameter editing with real-time viewport updates

## When to avoid
- you use Blender versions far newer than 2.81 without testing compatibility
- you need actively developed geometry nodes - Blender's built-in Geometry Nodes may be a better fit
- you need support or updates - the last release was in 2021
