Hey, thanks for the message, you can use CTRL+A to do a search or its in Volume - Primitives in the geometry nodes menu

@@allthingsmarvellous 'Volume cube' is not appearing. if i type in 'Volume' the only option is 'volume mesh'

@HarryParker-z3n here is a link to a screenshot of where it is in the menu in blender 4.1. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fr9ebhf2vd2i8xc2gsu47/Screenshot-2024-07-09-16.31.14.png?rlkey=l4esjyz0egyf9fdf9nrykb3d5&dl=0

@@allthingsmarvellous i cannot see that. i only get the option for 'volume to mesh' is there something i can activate in the priorities to get what you're seeing. Would a regular cube work under 'mesh primitives'?

@@allthingsmarvellous Got to the bottom of it, i hadnt uninstalled my previous version of blender 😅

I tweaked the basic glass one from a previous setup that I original discovered from another UA-camr

Thanks! Just trying out some different combinations :)

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for getting in touch, I've just ran a quick test and 1 frame for me at 500 samples and 0.1 noise took 51 seconds , the frame was 1920x1920. I'm running a 3060. Importantly though i used Blender 4.01 when I tried the same file in Blender 4.1 it took 10x longer. For some reason the new version of Blender doesn't like glass/transparent stuff and struggles rendering those things quickly

@allthingsmarvellous okay, so maybe version of blender is the thing 🤔 I'll try the older one then, thanks for tutorial and response 😁

@GreenWaterT you’re welcome, let me know how it goes.

Thanks! Who knows with these things?!? Appreciate the comment though and I enjoy making them so lots more to come.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. It’s quite a light build so your PC should be fine ;)

Hey, thanks for the message, glad you found it useful!

Hey, thanks for getting in touch, I think using the W of the musgrave/noise may be a good place to start. As long as the other elements are slowly moving over the course of the animation too it would give a nice repetitive but evolving effect with the music. Let me know how you get on!

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the message, really appreciate you checking things out, hope you found something useful.

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

Hey, thanks for the message. You need to add an ‘Environment Texture’ as the background like a HDRI and turn up the strength to about 40-50 this should give you a bit of refractions in the glass, I used a ‘studio’ one which had a lot of white light which works best. polyhaven.com/a/studio_small_09

Hey, thanks for the message, yeah sorry I’m trying to incorporate more explanation in my recent videos as someone else mentioned the same thing…. The reason all the stuff is really big is to give Blender the best possible chance of calculating the cloth simulation given there are lots of objects interacting with one another. When you are at a smaller scale you get a lot of errors and it crashes blender :)

Amazing thanks!

Hey, thanks for the message, appreciate the support!

Thanks for the message, glad you got something from it!

Hey, yeah of course, send it to johnpaul@alibivinyl.co.uk and I’ll see if I can help.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Thanks!

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey, thanks for getting in touch. Certainly, contact me on johnpaul@alibivinyl.co.uk so we can discuss further. Thanks

Hey, thanks for the message. It was about 1min per frame and it was a 500 frame render so roughly 8 1/2 hours.

@@allthingsmarvellous ah great! Thanks for the response. I was at about the same render speed, thought I was doing something wrong haha!

Hey, thanks for the message. Ok noted, it’s really hard to find a decent background vibe that is none offensive but also chilled and fitting… I’ll see what other things I can use for future vids

Hey, thanks for the message, I’ll try and get one out in the coming weeks!

Hey, thanks for getting in touch, The best option I found was to add a Boolean in the GN setup. Just take the shape/letter you’d like to apply the effect, drop on the GN setup from the video and then add in a Boolean Mesh set to ‘intersect’ as shown in this picture. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c0do4dc4lgqu2ae2oqc2z/BoolGlass.jpg?rlkey=va196otmcp0py1p6ichd1wpws&dl=0

As for putting it on a skeleton/armature im not sure how that would work... if it would at all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c0do4dc4lgqu2ae2oqc2z/BoolGlass.jpg?rlkey=va196otmcp0py1p6ichd1wpws&dl=0

Thank you! Will do!

I think it took about 4 hours roughly :)

Hey, thanks for getting in touch, I found the best way to achieve this is to continue to use the Volume cube but then use a Boolean to cut out the shape you want, here is a picture of how to connect the nodes to make it work www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/c0do4dc4lgqu2ae2oqc2z/BoolGlass.jpg?rlkey=va196otmcp0py1p6ichd1wpws&dl=0

Thank you! Cheers!

I will dig out the file and send over.

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.

Hey, thanks for the message. Sure, I’ll try to think of a different way of using that force and do a more in depth tutorial for beginners.

Thanks!

Hey, you need to have 'Node Wrangler' enabled in blender. This will allow you to use shortcuts to add textures and coordinates. Once this is enabled one of the options is to select the principle BSDF and then CTRL-SHIFT-T and a file window will open up, from here you can select all the texture files colour, roughness, normal etc and then it will connect the texture to the BSDF as shown in the video. Hope this helps

@@allthingsmarvellous thanks brother

Thanks! I appreciate the message

… in a good way?

@@allthingsmarvellous in the best possible, thanks for your work!

Hey, ok noted. I might do a more in depth version for beginners… watch this space

Hey, thanks for the message and feedback. I understand what you are saying and will try to be more explanatory with the elements I’m using and describing. The force you mentioned is a minus force which pulls things towards it and is used to keep the cloth in the camera frame as the transition happens. Without it the cloth would float off screen so I used it as a sort of anchor for the effect.

@@allthingsmarvellous hey thanks for the fast reply. Actually I apologise, my language was a bit harsh, I still appreciated the tutorial! And thanks for explaining re the field force. I’moving over from C4D, so am always wanting to understand what’s happening in these tuts, as it helps me relate it to my knowledge of C4D. Much appreciated, thanks!

No probs! I understood where you were coming from. I’m using C4D too and maybe planning on doing some tutorials for that. It sure is a smoother experience for certain setups.

@@allthingsmarvellous Yeah really had enough of Maxon, time to embrace a proper community driven program like Blender.
