  • Blender 3.0 is getting more powerful and we can make realistic plants now! I try to explain everything thoroughly, so that you can follow even if you are a beginner with geometry nodes.

    Fun story: the background visuals on the stage should've actually been the intro, but it looked crappy so I just smashed it there and called it a day!

      Great tutorial thanks a lot. But do you thinl top leafs should be smaller? How do you arrange this :/

    In the 3.1 Alpha version the "Curve Parameter" node doesn't exist. However, you can use the "Spline Parameter" node instead and connect the "factor" output of the "Multiply" node. This is configured around minute 6:00

      That's helpful

      @zakmoe6977 2 роки тому +5

      It seems like whenever I step away from Blender and want to refresh with a tutorial, the guide requires something that is missing from my version lol. Thanks for this. I had the spline parameter set aside just in case. Didn't spend too much time googling since there wasn't much info regarding the node being "missing" in 3.1. Thanks again!

      Thank you for adding this comment! As things change between Blender versions, anyone that is able to update older tutorials with comments such as this is a legend!

      @user-bv2pp7eb6s 2 роки тому +6

      Thank you very much for the solution. Not sure if it' just me but using the "Spline Parameter" node can cause the curve lean over to the positive side of all axis. It could be sorted by adding a "Map Range" node between "Noise Texture" and "Multiply", set it from "Float" to "Vector" and set the three "To Minimum" value to -1.

    I really love your tutorials, because unlike other geometry node tutorials out there, you explain every node. I really appreciate it as someone who doesn't really know where to use what node and why it works that way. Thank you

  • @brianbfp
    @brianbfp 2 роки тому +31

    TIP for anyone using Blender 3.1+ if you're stuck at 6:04 -- "The Curve Parameter node is renamed to Spline Parameter (and now has a length output in addition to Factor)"

  • @nightsquid2925
    @nightsquid2925 2 роки тому +7

    In case you're still curious after almost a year: "Tangent" in English comes from Latin, "Tangentem", which ultimately means, "To touch". This is similar to the English word, "Tangible", meaning something like, "Touchable".

  • @Seymour101
    @Seymour101 2 роки тому +2

    Geometry nodes are so cool but so complicated , your tutorials strike the perfect balance between wanting to make something cool quickly yet also wanting to learn the steps along the way to get there.
    Thanks for taking to time to make this !

    This is the best tutorial on Blender I've ever seen! You really explains how the things work and why should we use this or that node at every single step. You are not just showing how to do something, but helps to understand the process and build useful knowledge. MANY THANKS!

    I agree totally with Green below - your explanations of each node is so very helpful to anyone grappling with geonodes. I get so frustated with tutorials that tell you how to do something but not why you are doing it. Sincere thanks and keep doing it your way!

    (Also, English does have the word tangent, and you defined it perfectly haha)

    Hey! I just wanted to thank you. I have been trying to learn geometry nodes for a while now without much success and I started to feel kind of a failure honestly, but this is actually the first time that I see a tutorial and understand what is going on. Thanks for explaining in an easy way to understand what every node does, it was very helpful and I learned more with this video than with dozens of others :)

  • @lutzfloetenmeyer1937

    My respect young friend, you do a real great job, better then most of your colleagues. Explaining each node in the depth is a great help for understanding this stuff. Thank you very much and keep on keeping on. Stay well for god's sake so that we all can enjoy more of your tutorials

    @thenerdygirlnextdoor314 Рік тому

    Gotta say, I'm impressed. You explain this incredibly well! Now, I still don't understand all the math behind it and I couldn't do this without a tutorial, but I don't think I have EVER watched anything involving math and had this little confusion or didn't feel completely lost. So kudos to you, making me somewhat understand what is happening mathematically is quite the achievement!

    @dannotdaniel9361 Рік тому +5

    Great tutorial! The "curve parameter" being renamed "spline parameter" threw me for a bit.
    I also animated the thickness at the base by attaching the "end" parameter to a multiply by the .02 value and then addition node of .001
    My favorite is "vacuum cleaner tube that you have stepped on" or "drinking straw you chewed too much"

    @LeeroyMajors Рік тому +5

    If anyone is having trouble making this in newer versions of Blender, look for the Spline Parameter instead of Curve Paramater, I can also suggest if you take that inital "stalk" that you randomly generate, and apply the same type of set position to it as the leaves, you can create branches that have leaves on them as well :)

    @8:21
    instead of a map range node for inverting the vector. try the multiply add node. Use the curve parameter as vector input, make multiplier (-1.0, -1.0, -1.0), and the addend (1.0, 1.0, 1.0). Basically the output is 1.0 - input, which is the same as what your trying to do. and probably simpler.

    It is very good to base the renderings on data which correspond to the mathematical realities which one can meet in nature (golden ratio, etc). This attention to detail is very appreciable. Thank you for sharing.
