I love this, especially coming from a motion graphics background. Hope Blender one day can beat C4D's motion graphics tools. I think we can do more with Blender, the setup just takes more time
To get the ball to roll exactly, press N in 3D view. Right click the Y rotation, click Add driver. Type var * 1. Where is says Object, click the eye dropper and select the empty. Now the ball should rotate perfectly, no slipping.
Thank you so much for doing this! I was scouring the youtube to find an updated (4.2) tutorial on the proximity node. You made this one extra clear and non-complicated. I'll definitely tag you on a post when I use the set up.
Watching your geo node tutorials, I feel like I finally can understand what each of the nodes really do. A lot of tutorials just say plug this and this and this, and you are done! 😄 Thank you for your great tutorials and hope to see more very soon
Honestly, I was just floating through the vast expanse of the multiverse when I stumbled upon this video. Little did I know that Blender would unlock the hidden realms of abstract artistry, where neon particles dance to the rhythm of cosmic waves and procedurally generated landscapes emerge from the depths of digital dreams. Ducky 3D, you've somehow managed to combine the essence of a supernova with the calming vibes of a zen garden, and I think my GPU just ascended to a higher plane of existence. If I stare at these shaders long enough, I'm convinced I might just unlock the secrets of the universe-or at least figure out how to make a killer lava lamp animation. Anyway, 10/10 would get lost in the infinite spiral of surreal polygons again.
Amazing content as usual. This was a cool lesson that I was thinking about as I watched the Snyder Cut (Justice League) when barry is running back in time and as he does each footstep has a power surge effect on his feet and it restores the world one step at a time. Now I want to do something like that with this proximity idea, and characters walk cycle or even a running animation and then have each set of new tiles have a surge effect. Good inspiration ducky!
thank you so much for being a great guide through Blender µ Your videos are always inspiring me and teaching me new tricks in blender may the gods bless you
Very nice tutorial Ducky, although I don't know if it's because I'm using ver. 4.0 but the tiles offset also affects the Y-axis, and no amount of fine tuning will fix the proximity node with either that nor the material shifting on the tiles.
Thanks Ducky. I've been meaning to get into GeoNodes since they were released, but just couldn't find a good use for them. This is just the inspiration I needed. My only criticism is that there is an awful lot of "just grab this" and "just plug this into that" and I like to know why I'm doing something. I realise that this 22 min video would be a 90 minute one if you explained every little thing that you did here, but I'd be okay with that too. If you have any link for other videos where you go a bit deeper into what different nodes do and why, that would be appreciated.
On Blender 4.1: when connecting the platform cube to instance to points, the X & Z scales change the cube scale as expected. When changing the Y scale, the position also changes so the whole grid shifts along the Y axis depending on the Y scale. This makes all further adjustments impossible.
Found a fix immediately: I created the tile cube by: create cube -> edit mode -> change position and other adjustments -> exit edit mode. This messed up the position despite trying to reset position. The cube should stay in the middle and you can just hide it.
Man your render looks crazy good, can you make please a breakdown tutorial ? I don't understand why my renders looks like a shit ) Yours looks like cd4 amazing
Hey Ducky! Just wondering do you have any long very basic beginner tutorial for people like me who just saw this proximity video and understood nothing about instancing and to be honest with you I don't even know what does an object info node do in blender. Just so you know that I don't have any money with me and I cannot afford your patreon subscription. Basically a 15 year old boy wanting to learn blender's geometry nodes system. So, I want to know whether you have uploaded a long beginner tutorial or please recommend me some other UA-cam videos for setting off some basics. Please respond to this comment and if you have a long tutorial video please give me the link so I can learn it. Hope this reaches you... waiting in anticipation for your reply. Anyways Thanks.
Simply amazing, I have a question, Do you know how I can smoothen the movements? I mean, the final result of the tiles movement looks linear and I want to smooth that out
Hey there! Fantastic tutorial! A question: anyone have an idea why suddenly after applying "Map range" node, the displacement of each individual cube gets skewed? Without "Map range", the empty displaces the instances symetrically.
Ok, I just tried couple of times by restarting the blender and eventually it worked. The thing now is not perfectly underneath the center of the tile, but yeah, it works.
Can You please make a tutorial on how to create a motion graphics like the one Microsoft Design create? I wanted to learn that, but unfortunately the videos I found explain the steps using Cinema4D.. but I’m sure you can do the same in Blender !
The part where you plugged the attribute to colour ramp and map range , mine doesn't color one the lifted part , its either all blue or all white , i did named the store named attribute as blue and followed every step very carefully but it didn't work thrice or is it because im on blender 3.3.0, please help😅
Dear Ducky, I wonder how to perform a gradient of subdivision with proximity or raycast node. If you could explain it I would subscribe twice! Thank you.

This is an amazing organic correlation with an infinite amount of applicability.
Oh absolutely
One of the most important videos for abstract animation style thanks
Thank you for taking time to make this.
Much appreciated. Real helpful.
All the best in your work.
I appreciate that!
Man, Nathan you are getting so good. Always enjoy your tuts, thanks for being an inspiration for so many years of Blender motion graphics.
Thank you so much!!
Love this! Is like bringing back effectors from C4D into Blender. Love your tutorials Ducky, keep it up!
You've earned every sub. I've been here since 500 and 3 video tuts. You're teaching should be the new bar, and your style is wild. Well earned.
Thank you so much!

did fucking chatgpt write this
What an amazing essay!!
Oh wow! Your timing couldn't be more perfect. Thanks!
Going to use this method for an animated flow diagram.
Awesome!!
Awesome and very useful tutorial as always, thank you for taking your time to share this with us.
My pleasure!
Amazing tutorial! I really love this style! Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad you liked it

That subsurface material is satisfying AF.
Awesome tutorial !
Their so nice to look at
Thanks Ducky. Great video as usual!
Plus would you recommend a MacBook pro (M3 pro or something) for blender? From learning to work (advanced)
Thx Ducky3D love geometry nodes, lol @5:24 using blender 2.0 Marty McFly wants his car back
Hahaha
Thank you, your tutorials are always helpful!
thank you so much for being a great guide through Blender µ

I appreciate that!
this is literally EXACTLY what i was looking for
For the first time I understood your tut. Amazing 😊
I’m glad to hear that!
A NEW TUTORIAL WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
That’s right!
invert distance output for social distancing node
I needed this!

Yea I understand it can be a lot! It just means you have control over everything
Yeeeees brroooo.. waiting this a looot
thanks for sharing! love it
I'm your fan! 😍
Looks great! Thank you.
Glad you like it!
Amazing dude 🤩 thanks

@@TheDucky3D thank you
Great video, thanks! Is it possible to have multiple objects affect a mesh (or equivalent) through proximity?
Ducky God bless you king
AMAZING!!! Thank you 1

Proximity is a game changer fr 😳
It’s so fun
Why do you need the 1 point Mesh Line node? Doesn't proximity work with a plain Empty?
I had the same question
I haven’t found it to work just with the empty, it needs a point
sir can you help me
when am i plug the attribute node to color ramp , color show on all the cubes sir please help me
your work is amazing
just change point to Instance in "Store Named Attribute" in geo nodes and in shader "Attribute" change geometry to Instancer
@@Mahdi3DRender thanks bro
Man your render looks crazy good, can you make please a breakdown tutorial ? I don't understand why my renders looks like a shit ) Yours looks like cd4 amazing
It’s all about getting your lighting looking right and bright
Can you please do a tutorial to how to do circle array one?
Thanks for the continued knowledge sharing, love this style mixing teaching the new nodes and then a quick demonstration 🤝
I’m glad you liked the format!

wish you did delay/overshoot effect like Cinema4D
Simply amazing, I have a question, Do you know how I can smoothen the movements?
I mean, the final result of the tiles movement looks linear and I want to smooth that out
It would be in the way you change the map range
can you make something like linear falloff?
proximity only works for radios
Nice, but in this particular case I prefer to use a "Read Position" node with "Vector Math Distance". No extra geometry needed.
great😍😍

If I buy the Patreon membership now do I still get to watch older tutorials? Like 1-2 year older videos?
Yes you get access to everything
Is there any major difference between Png and Jpeg other than size of it's images? Like in terms of Quality or other thing?
Blender has totally changed by geometrie . Traditional modeling is no more. Unfortenately i was never good in math geometrie. Nice video thanks.
15:43
I don't know why, but I press "assign" with the same force and with special pleasure😂
Haha!!
"what email?"
Too real...😅
Does this exist in Unreal engine ? Thank you =)
And all that was done in Blender 2.0! XD (→ 05:22)
Ooooops!
4.2.0!!
@@rainyrobloxian-xt9cl Go to the timestamp and you'll understand. 😉 → 05:22
ah, yes, Blender 2.0 👍
I watched a tutorial of Ducky for Geometry proximity for shading in the morning.

I’ve never done that! I’ll see what I can do
The part that u add the color to the platform isn't working for me
At 18:29
The Store Named Atribute must be set at Float + Instance, not Float + Point wich is default.
Let's go ahead.. and use different terminology once in a while. 🙃
HDRI please?
