Learn to create complex 3D models procedurally with Geometry Nodes

What you'll learn

Learn the core concepts used in Geometry Nodes; data types, boolean math for selection, fields and attributes etc.

Discover how to manipulate geometry, meshes and curves directly in the Geometry Node editor while learning about the most vital nodes and workflows.

Create a Modifer that can be used to populate any mesh with a low-poly forest, complete with trees, rocks, bushes and grass.

Data types used in Blender, how to identify and use them, and how fields and attributes are used in Geometry Nodes

Manipulate geometry, primitive meshes and curves directly in Geometry Nodes in a non-destructive workflow.

Basic concepts and more advanced workflows for populating scenes with instances of simple or more complex geometr

Use curves to create your own objects that can be used in your scenes.

Fundamentals of Geometry nodes in Blender.

Requirements

You'll need a basic knowledge of Blender and the ability to run Blender 4.0 (or a later version of Blender).

Description

Ready to learn a powerful new tool for non-destructive, procedural modelling?Geometry Nodes allows to you create complex 3D models procedurally, so you can create models that may be difficult or time-consuming using traditional modelling.The non-destructive aspect of Geometry Nodes means changes can be made to your models and node trees without having to start from scratch. Dependencies can be built into node trees that will automatically take into account other changes in your scene.Geometry Nodes is flexible and efficient, allowing you to save all or portions of individual node trees to re-use later and save precious time.By creating node trees by visually connecting different nodes, Blender users can gain a greater understanding of the processes of procedural modelling.Learn the core concepts used in Geometry Nodes; data types, boolean math for selection, fields and attributes etc.Discover how to manipulate geometry, meshes and curves directly in the Geometry Node editor while learning about the most vital nodes and workflows.Create a Modifer that can be used to populate any mesh with a low-poly forest, complete with trees, rocks, bushes and grass.Use curves to create your own objects that can be used in your scenes, from simple blades of grass and leaves, fencing that follows terrain automatically, and finally a stylised tree generator.So if you want to learn a powerful new tool for non-destructive, procedural modelling and create your own modifiers, operators and mesh editing tools this is the course for you!You'll need a basic knowledge of Blender and the ability to run Blender 4.0 (or a later version of Blender).You'll get full lifetime access for a single one-off fee. The creators are qualified and experienced coders, so are able to explain complex concepts clearly, as well as entertain along the way.Benefit from our world-class support from both other students, and the instructors who are on the forums regularly.You'll gain access to a course forum where you can discuss topics on a course-wide basis, or down to the individual video. Get plugged into our communities of amazing developers on Facebook (nearly 20k), in our own TA-curated Community (17k views/day), and our student chat group (10k live at any one time).Dive in now and power up your Blender skills!
