  • When you are using Blender there is something you are going to come across. And understanding that thing will help you so much with making some amazing motion graphics! In this video I will explain how the color values of black and white can be used to make amazing animations. And we will understand how they show up in the program!

    At first the Realtime Materials ads were annoying, but HOLY HELL it's an amazing addon. Unless you can't afford it, I would definitely get it right now

    I really appreciate this kind of tutorial that includes a little lesson explaining HOW geometry nodes work before going into the actual tutorial and applying the knowledge immediately. Thank you!!

    This was the video were my brain finally "clicked" with geometry nodes , such a rewarding feeling.

    This is amazing! It adds a lot to a presentation I attended today by Blender's Fiona Cohen. I think I'm gonna start creating at least one animation in Blender every day and posting it on my UA-cam channel. This technique makes it very possible and easy.

    Nice intro video to help explain geometry nodes to people in an accessible way; I think Geometry Nodes is one of the most under-utilized parts of Blender because it is also the most intimidating workflow to adapt to. Just a couple things I think might be helpful for people wanting to push things a little further or who are just curious:
    1. Instead of creating four separate geometries to scatter to have 90 degree rotations and save on memory (not that in this case memory would be an issue with the simple geometry), you can use a "Rotate Instances" node paired with a random value node set to a min of 0 and a max of 2 * pi (or just type tau in the input) to get a full range of rotations from 0 - 360 degrees, and then a Math node set to Snap with the second input as pi / 2 to snap to 90-degree increments, and plug that math node into a Combine XYZ in the desired axis which plugs into the Rotate Instances node.
    2. When using the Geometry Nodes object as the texture coordinate when shading instances, there are a few issues, one being that there will be a noticeable "linking" between the noises of the instances that often times is unwanted, and two any movement, rotation, or Scale of the instances will result in changes in the texture. So instead of using the Geometry Nodes Object, use the default object coordinates, which will default to the instance object's original position, and then using the mapping node, you can get an "Object Info" node, which has a random output that returns a random black and white value for each instance. Plug the random output into a "White Noise" texture node, plug the colour output from the White Noise texture into a Vector Math node set to Scale, and enter a large number for the Scale. Plug the scale output into the Mapping node's Location input, and then you will have a randomly offset Object coordinate per instance, which still will "stick" to the object.
    As always, Ducky, great job making Geometry Nodes approachable and less intimidating; I see more and more people venturing into Geometry Nodes because of your videos!

    "Hi Ducky! Your geometric knot tutorials are amazing! It's so fascinating to watch you create such cool things. I'd be interested to know what motivates you and how you got to this level of mastery? What inspires you and how did you decide to do geometric knots? Also it would be cool if you released a video where we, your followers, could ask you questions. I think many people would be interested to know more about your creative path!"

    Hey Ducky, first of all, your tutorials have helped me so much with getting into Motion Graphics in Blender! Since your last video, I have been trying to recreate the animation in the intro. With this video, I was able to figure out that you used the Align Rotation To Vector Node plugged into the the rotation input of the Instance On Points Node but that's about it. I can't seem to get the rotation right to make it look like in the video. Is there a tutorial on this that I missed? If not, could you tell me how you achieved this (even just a hint so I know where to look and figure it out myself ;-))?

    It's funny that you teach the concept of black and white but use the Color output of the Wave texture node instead of the Factor 😁

    I am just trying out an idea to see if it will work with a grayscale image but the combine XYZ node expects a number not just an image, trying to convert the image into vector points

    • @mikethom2119
      @mikethom2119 День тому

      works with image texture and can possibly add a video clip in there but the scale is too small cannot do ctrl+t to map the vector in GN to scale the image/clip
