Course content

2 sections • 25 lectures • 4h 1m total length

  • Introduction0:55

    Explore fields in Blender 4.4 with geometry nodes, learn the UI and node navigation, master shortcuts, and build reusable tools to animate a scene in a node tree through proceduralism.

  • Setting Up Blender6:29

    Set up Blender 4.4 for geometry nodes by configuring the geometry nodes workspace, rearranging windows, saving startup defaults, and enabling the Node Wrangler addon for efficient node work.

  • Workspace & Shortcuts17:23

    Explore Blender geometry nodes workspace, learn the user interface and shortcuts, and master node editing from adding and connecting nodes to organizing with reroutes, frame selection, and grouping.

  • A First Scatter15:26

    Learn to create your first geometry node setup to randomly scatter objects on a cube, using distribute points on faces and instance on points with random rotation and scale.

  • Geometry Nodes As A Tool13:06

    Create a reusable geometry nodes tool in Blender 4.4 by framing problems, hypothesizing, testing, and revising. Rotate around a custom center using a transform center and premultiply post divide.

  • How Does Geometry Nodes Work15:29

    Discover how geometry nodes evaluate fields per vertex, using noise textures and displacement to modify geometry, and master constants, fields, and sockets across multiple objects.

  • Modelling and Materials14:46

    Explore geometry nodes in Blender 4.4 to build a procedural city block with random heights by creating a grid, extruding and scaling faces, and assigning ground and tower materials.

  • Understanding Instancing4:53

    Discover how geometry nodes in Blender 4.4 use instances to share mesh data, enabling fast, scalable scenes. Realize instances to edit individually only when you convert them.

Requirements

  • No prior experience with Geometry Nodes is needed
  • Basic Blender navigation is helpful but not essential
  • Blender 4.4 installed on your computer
  • A willingness to experiment and learn procedural workflows

Description

Geometry Nodes for Beginners

Geometry Nodes is one of Blender’s most powerful systems — a visual scripting tool that opens the door to procedural modelling, animation, scattering, and much more. But with all its flexibility, it can be hard to know where to begin.

This newly remastered course, written by Erin Woodford and presented by Mike Bridges, introduces you to the world of Geometry Nodes using Blender 4.4. You’ll start with a simple scatter system and build your knowledge step-by-step, covering everything from displacement and instancing to animation and billboards. By the end, you’ll create an entire animated scene — all built within a single node tree.

Whether you're an artist looking to make smarter scenes or a curious beginner diving into procedural workflows, this course gives you the solid grounding you need.

What You’ll Learn

  • The core principles of Blender’s Geometry Nodes system

  • How to navigate the node graph, spreadsheet editor, and key shortcuts

  • A clear understanding of the fields system and how data flows through nodes

  • How to procedurally model, apply materials, and displace geometry

  • How to scatter collections, use vertex groups, and instance assets

  • Techniques for animating scenes with wind, noise, and splines

  • How to use nodes like Ray Cast, Attribute Statistic, and Geometry Proximity

  • How to set up procedural billboards and loop animations

Throughout the course, you'll complete small, focused exercises before working on a full scene — an animated glade complete with trees, wind, and birds — all built procedurally.

Meet Your Instructors

Mike Bridges has been teaching Blender professionally since 2014 and has helped tens of thousands of students get confident in 3D. He’s the co-founder of Canopy Games, where he builds in-depth courses on topics including low-poly modelling, grease pencil, and of course, Geometry Nodes. His clear, structured teaching style makes even complex topics approachable.

Erin Woodford has over 12 years of Blender experience and began their career as a 3D artist and educator while still in university. Their work spans stylised animation, photoreal visualisation, and procedural techniques — but they’re best known for their ability to break down Blender’s more advanced systems into clear, usable workflows.
