      I've come to learn that nodes are your friend. When you find one that does something find another similar and try it out, stack 3 of the same node up and see what it does, put nodes in different inputs, it gets to be really fun lol

    I have always hated geometry nodes because the way popular blender people (blender guru guy) used it they never really expand on the why they're using it. What they do, THIS ON THE OTHER HAND this is EXACTLY what I wanted! Simple straight to the point. And with an example!! That's visual. YOU DESERVE THE SUB.

  • @thefreshest2379
    @thefreshest2379 3 роки тому +20

    When mixing a noise texture into the vectors you should use Linear Light mix. This is because noise adds an average of grey all over, which moves the vectors by 0.5, Linear Light does the subtraction for you.

    Good lesson, 7:40, TIL, the bump, blues are low end of the texture values, the same controlled by bumps with the color ramp infront of it. You can make the bump apply to just reds if you want by using that color ramp infront of the bump node. Thank you.

    Well, I have to say, this was nothing out of the ordinary. This was special. In most node videos, I go to learn how to use nodes but instead I just get more scared of how difficult it is to use nodes. This one felt different and had the opposite impact. Well, thanks. I encourage you to continue making more of these. Many like me are suffering. Enlighten us with your knowledge. Good night!
