Course content

1 section17 lectures6h 19m total length
  • Introduction14:03

    Learn how to use the geometry nodes modifier in Blender to procedurally manipulate geometry, build node groups, and preview edits in real time.

  • Basic Transformation of Geometry Nodes - Part 117:25

    Explore basic geometry nodes transformations by creating a new group, using the transform node to move, rotate, and scale, and joining geometries with the join geometry node, noting origin behavior.

  • Basic Transformation of Geometry Nodes - Part 214:15

    Learn to use Blender's geometry nodes transform node to drive translation and scale procedurally, combining x, y, z into vectors and synchronizing multiple values with one slider.

  • Vectors and Calculations20:09

    Learn how to work with vectors and calculations in Blender's geometry nodes, using math and vector math, set position, and point normals to create non-uniform displacements and dynamic shapes.

  • Curves21:17

    Learn to instance objects along curves with geometry nodes, converting curves to points and rotating along tangents. Use curve length and modulo rotation to fit chain links on a path.

  • Instances18:36

    Discover how to create instances in Blender using vertices and geometry nodes, with point distribution, normal-based rotation, and align Euler to vector for orientation.

  • Curve Instances20:02

    Explore geometry nodes in Blender by building a curve-based fence with instanced, random-rotated mesh lines, extruding and scaling planks along the curve for irregular, varied heights.

  • Noise Textures in Geometry Nodes24:27

    Explore how noise textures drive geometry nodes to create three-dimensional terrain and wave patterns on a grid, using instancing, set position, and a proximity controller for dynamic control.

  • Material Attributes in Geometry Nodes25:58

    Learn to assign materials in geometry nodes, creating red, blue, and green materials for individual pieces. Use attributes, noise textures, color ramps, and capture attributes to drive color and roughness.

  • Proximity Grow26:25

    Explore proximity-based geometry nodes in Blender to spawn and scale individual object instances from a controller, using distance, a float curve, and rotation for an emerging effect.

  • Paper Effect35:26

    Explore geometry nodes to create a realistic paper effect by crooked geometry, edge splitting, and controlled randomization, then shade outer paper and inner cardboard with noise and voronoi textures.

  • Cake Diagram23:13

    Create a procedurally modeled cake diagram in Blender using geometry nodes, arc shapes, and group inputs to drive start angle, degrees, and radius, then extrude and animate for data visualization.

  • Raycast18:54

    Explore the Blender geometry nodes raycast to measure hit distance and hit position, project a grid onto objects, and add perspective with vector subtraction using an empty anchor.

  • Raycast Example34:16

    Create a procedural raycast wrap of a thread around a rock using geometry nodes in Blender, with animated noise, set position, and optional horizontal projection.

  • Final Project - Part 123:06

    Learn geometry nodes in Blender to grow mushrooms on a tree using distribution, noise, and random scales. Animate growth with translation and rotation, and apply uv shading for mushroom tops.

  • Final Project - Part 225:14

    Explore geometry nodes animation in blender by building mushroom top and bottom on a tree, using UV maps and vertex groups, and define moss growth with shader-driven textures and growth controllers.

  • Final Project - Part 317:09

    Learn how to build a looped leaf animation on a curve using geometry nodes, instancing on points with rotation, scaling, and offset controls for multiple leaves.
