The details in my renders always get super compressed when uploading to apps....

How do I do the opposite thing? So that a sphere enters a cube and the cube changes?

Very good tutorial, especially the smoothing of normals, very instructive. In addition, the hit position of the raycast can be directly linked to the position of the transformed geometry

hey is it possible to do it withoug hte dots and as full objects instead?

Please please make more geonodes videos about motion graphics and cool product animations with geonodes

Astonishing tutorial! Just a quick question. Is it possible to make a specific particles a different color? Right now everything is in one color. Is it possible? Thanks Robbie!

impossible

This tutorial is very useful and super easy to understand. Just one question: how could I add a text or logo to the soft body spheres?

Latest blender has Active Camera Node Maybe this could operate with visibility or shapekeys? Or maybe I'm wishfully thinking lol? However, it's using geometry nodes. Have no clue how it would work, honestly. Not really a geonode type of guy but hopefully it has an answer?

Trying to follow the video. 'Raycast Node' doesn't show up in my nodes search...

Robbie, this is awesome work. I am going to have to watch this video a few more times to fully understand what is happening within geometry nodes, but this is great. Your knowledge shared is welcomed. Thanks again!

beautiful work

This was really close, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I need something that will just simply deform a part of a mesh (body, ideally) around another object, without letting it pass through. This got awfully close, I just had to swap the negative values for positives, but it ended up just looking wrong. It was doing what it was intended to do clearly, but just wasn't what I was looking for. I'm left really befuddled. I'd think it's babby's first workflow to just deform a mesh around another mesh with collision, soft body, rigid body, surface deform, mesh deform, or et cetera, but those don't work at all for my use case.

awsome tutorial really helped me out :)

This saved me. Thanks!

Super!

Thank you veeeery much, your tutorial really save me, because I'm doing postapocalyptic metro station and moss is what was missing❤️‍🔥

how do you add textures when you use color ramps?

why I can not find mesh to volume?

Thank you for sahring, great tutorial, keep going!

Thank you so much, really! You helped me to solve a complex situation I had with animating both an armature and the object controller by the rig.. And the object animation wasn't just exported at all, I tried everything but I managed to solve only with shape keys. You saved me!

great video! Would be nice to add the velocity into the scale to get it squashing and stretching a bit :)

that's so smart! Awesome tutorial

What's th name of the app?

I am trying to create a custom keyframe animation, then instance the animated geo, and trigger the animations (control the timing) based on the instance proximity to a controller object...is this achievable using simulation nodes?

Thankyouu sir

Can this method be used on objects like clothing e.g a shirt mesh

Greetings, thank you for your time for sharing this valuable information 💯

can we do something similar with fluid simulation? i want my fluid sims to be instanced but not using the age old method- but this method.

this video sent me down such a rabbit hole trying to get it to work when i could have just used a simple animation controller

Is there a way to apply that effect only to one or several specific vertex groups ?

God this song just slaps

Damn is there an indepth version of this tutorial? Great stuff, new sub.

Very useful tutorial, accessible, step by step, easy to follow. Thank you!

Can you tell me, how to control the speed of the animation through the script. Somehow, even at 60fps, it's still too fast in the Engine

Can you export an FBX that has both LODs AND these shape keys?

What if you want it to affect in the shape of a rectangle, for instance? That is, the empty has a non-uniform size.

hey man, at 3:47 can't we recalculate normals for the boundaries so that the blue faces be inside and the red faces be outside ?

Great vid! How are you getting them to show up as skinned meshRenderer meshes in Unity?

wow

What if you have created the cubes outside of Geo Nodes ? e.g. you simply duplicated a lot of the default cubes. There are many scenarios where would want to use falloff like that but it's nearly impossible to get the objects as needed w/ geo nodes e.g. OpenStreetMap buildings.

you could just interpolate your weights in code instead of pushing them to 100 every frame, and skip the whole mdd baking part, which would lower the size of your files and your ram consumption significantly. Otherwise great showcase.

Is there any way to get this working with instantiated geonode objects? I have a sort of animated mesh cloud that I want to bring into unity. I baked the points into an .mdd, imported that back into blender, instantiated my objects on top of them but when I export that as a .fbx it shows up as a regular mesh in Unity, not a skinned mesh, so the animation is lost. Following the steps from the tutorial completely messes up the animation.

Why do the colors look different when exporting the video than when exporting an image?

my quality is really crisp on my video renders but for some reason when i move around in the video ( i recorded myself on a green screen and removed it) the video starts to stutter like it is skipping frames or some shit. Could this be because i rendered it in a smaller resolution?

Thank You Sir

Great video! However I am trying to implement this with a point cloud I have imported into blender and it doesn't work. I guess the data structure of the imported point cloud is the problem. Any suggestion on how to solve this?

great tutorial! Thanks!

if anyone is trying this in 4.0 or later the normal step is different. how I was able to achieve it was to add a Blur attribute node after the normal and bring it into the less than node set the z to 1 and control the falloff using the angle I found that an angle of around 60 seemed to work great.
