In this #blender3d tutorial, we'll explore how to use #geometrynodes to create an abstract network. We'll start by creating a simple mesh, and then use geometry nodes to manipulate and duplicate it into a complex network. To add visual interest, we'll use random shading techniques to give each element of the network a unique look. Finally, we'll add HDRI lighting to give our abstract network a professional, polished appearance. By the end of the tutorial, you'll have the skills and knowledge to create your own stunning abstract networks using Blender's powerful geometry nodes system. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Blender user, this tutorial is a great way to learn new techniques and improve your 3D modeling skills. So let's get started and create something beautiful together!

Just a tip for people with Blender 3.5, try disabling the "Light Tree" option in the render settings, for some reason this option greatly increase the initial render time with that many light sources

[@harrisashraf7084]

Ok thanks

[@marcelsdev]

From another video I saw, if you want the meshes to be proportional, then between the Dual Mesh node and the Separate Geometry node, add 2x Transform Geometry nodes. In the first Transform Geometry node, change Rotation Z to -45, and in the 2nd Transform Geometry node, change the Scale Y to 0.6.

If you don't like the skewed grid this method gives, there is a way to make it into a standard even hex grid. Before triangulate, offset every other row. To do this, use "set position" with index modulo 2 for the selection. For offset input, only adjust the X coordinate (leave the others at zero).

Thank you for sharing the passion and knowledge.

[@DavidWinstead]

Awesome one man, thanks for sharing!

First project after downloading and using blender for the 1st time thnkx mate

[@dcwicqjf]

Thank you for this great tutorial. It help me a lot

[@bigboy4006]

Looks like a great way to model graphene at the molecular level in Blender 3D.

[@daddae6903]

I love your tutorials ❤❤ i wish u added some compositing like a glare for the emission. That would make it amazing in my opinion ❣thank you so much

[@Aftermotions]

thank you

[@jazzew]

Wooooow... o_o That's so cool, so easy looking to do!! I hope to get used to geometry nodes more, but my artistic focus is all over the place right now. LOL! I wonder if I can create a neat string of light bulbs or other decorations...cooool...

[@mackmoore481]

Well done and very easy to follow. I think you should link your Custom Blender Startup Settings video in the description to let new users know why their screen doesn't match yours when they follow along; like when the metallic look doesn't show up on their screens at 5:10 because their Screen Space Reflection is off by default.

[@chaotic1201]

where would i turn that on

[@mackmoore481]

@@chaotic1201 Select the Render Properties tab in the Properties Panel (Digital Camera icon under the Screwdriver and Wrench icon near the upper middle right side of the screen). When the Render Engine - Eevee - is selected, you can activate Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, and Screen Space Reflections to improve or modify the visual aesthetics; but with the side effect of extended render times.

[@mihawk3775]

Thnx mate that's help a lot and i got a better result ( in my pov) and this the first projet and tutorial with blender 😂

[@Mr.rOobot]

it's crazy how a one year old comment can be very helpful. Thank you

[@Liberal_romer]

Nice video

[@blendnas3d]

We missed you buddy

[@pauljarvis5384]

I clicked on the like button after 2 seconds lol 👍

[@rawandrendered]

👌

[@TruixBeams]

how would i get them to flash for an animation?

[@CraftedModulation2]

How can I make this entire thing be curved or spherical?
Does that mean I need to start with a curve or use a curve along a node somewhere?

[@rick-deckard]

I was definitely crashing a lot on the newer blender.

[@CassianoRabelo]

Hello Ducky3D! When I got to your video, the promocode for Realtime Materials had already expired. Is there a new one? 35 USD is a bit too much for Brazil. Thank you!

[@jasperzatch610]

Followed your steps, but mine looks very different. Not sure why. Thanks though

[@adventureswithlevi3041]

Are you free to help me with blender for a second?

[@Raj-hm4qd]

Yes

[@adventureswithlevi3041]

You not hom

[@Raj-hm4qd]

What?
