Create Objects Procedurally With Geometry Nodes In Blender

Requirements

• Basic knowledge in traditional modelling techniques in Blender
• Experience in using nodes to create materials will be helpful in the early stages
• A version that has geometry nodes available (Blender 2.92 or newer)

Procedural Modelling Has Arrived In Blender!!!

Blender is the fastest improving software programme in the world today. Its powerful, updated regularly and its free. What’s not to love? In fact its now reached the point where you can begin creating objects procedurally using a brand new system called geometry nodes. With geometry nodes we can:

• Create basic shapes with just a view nodes
• Easily generate base assets that can be adjusted into various shapes and sizes
• Build modular pieces for larger objects and for game design
• Apply particle instances to fill up an entire scene with objects.

We start things off easy in this course. Focusing on a few of the core nodes for building basic objects to give you the chance to learn how to use the geometry node editor from the ground up. As we move through the sections we introduce more and more nodes and more ways of using the node editor, but don’t worry, because each time we introduce a new node we make sure that you know exactly how it works, why its used and how you can use it too.

BailylDesign has over 30 courses to date related to Blender and 1000’s of students have participated in those courses. Our main goal is to ensure that you as the student gets the best educational content and resources to upskill in the world of CG, whether it be modelling, texture painting or animation.

By the end of this class students will be able to create almost any object using geometry nodes and be able to do so in a way that allows them to adjust models procedurally. They will be able to combine various nodes to adjust the behaviour of the object any create new parameters for control. Students will also be able to generate entire scenes using a combination of point and attribute nodes, which are the node editors version of the particle system.

Regardless of if you are a beginner or an experienced user, this is the perfect course for you to begin learning about these incredible new tools in Blender.

Who this course is for:

• Houdini users who want to try other options for their procedural workflow
• Blender users who want to begin creating objects in Blender using non destructive nodes

What you’ll learn

• Create objects using nodes
• Make objects procedural in how they can be edited
• Build entire scenes using point nodes to create stones, grass, rocks, trees, buildings and stars
• Use nodes to create modular pieces for larger objects
