A guide to attributes & fields - blender geometry nodes

Baffled by attributes? Stumped by fields? This video is for you. In it I break down the fundamentals of geometry nodes, explaining the core concepts that make them work … and so powerfully so.
“There’s a wide wide world of geometry nodes. It’s such a big world, with so many nodes it sometimes feels impossible to navigate. So, in this video I explore the things that all nodes have in common - Blender's fundamental geometry node concepts and how I’ve come to understand them.”

You continously... continue... to put out the most clear, concise and visually appealing tutorials. Are they even tutorials at this point?I feel like they've transcended into something more. Like little lectures, without the desire to fall asleep during. Kudos!

[@rainerhorbach955]

The qualitiy of harrys videos is unreal...

[@harryblends]

This is not the first time someone has told me I continuously … continue but you’re the first person who wasn’t sat in a courtroom banging a gavel when they said it. Thank you. It’s just over a year since my first one of these. Can’t believe how much I’ve learned and refined since then. It’s awesome to have viewers who have been along for the whole ride!

[@bitofalice]

@@harryblends You really have become the authority on the geometry nodes and the noodles, in my opinion! I don't use geo nodes as much as I'd like in my own Blending (I'm an old school Maya graduate, modifiers is still news to me) but watching these videos are just plain ol' enjoyable regardless, like the classic VideoCopilot vibe of yor. Hope you continue to grow, exponentially! We'll always remember, the real viewers were the blends we made a long the way :)

[@omidpakbin]

I'm not doing very well financially right now, but just have to donate at least a tiny bit. This is too good. Sense of humor is 10/10. Animation is 5/5. The lesson itself is A+. Other Blender users, if you *can*, I recommend you support this channel too. This is top quality content.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. Awesome, generous and kind 🙏🏻

[@TheDucky3D]

i love how you make your videos so much!!

[@harryblends]

Thanks man. I know you know how tricky this stuff can be to explain - at this point making the nodes move pretty is probably as much for soothing my brain as it is for viewer clarity

[@DanilaBou]

dude, wtf. you deserve to be the most known and respected blender related youtube channel. well done!

[@ddo973]

First time I gets idea of how geometry nodes work. Is because I am an 63 old man trying to learn Blender. THANKS SO MUCH HARRY. FIRST TIME I SUSCRIBE TO BLENDER COMMUNITY. From now on, I will be your fans!

[@harryblends]

This is awesome to hear! I love those sudden bursts of understanding. They are so satisfying. Its one of the reasons geometry nodes are so rewarding. So many concepts to feed your brain!

[@blackyonbi]

I wish you the best , never too late to learn something new.

[@pieterswart7176]

Another insanely well produced video. Thanks for your contribution to the blender community.

[@harryblends]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@chesterdays2299]

Outstanding! This is not an easy subject. There are plenty of tutorials by folk who can program and do the math, and then there is Harry, who just gets it, explains it clearly and visually, and makes you smile. Genius.

[@harryblends]

Thank you!

[@Seynimations]

The most elaborated tutorial I've ever seen

[@harryblends]

We're just getting started...

[@Blender3dUa]

Incredible!!! The best video on nodes in the whole world! So many work and so good result!

[@harryblends]

Thank you!

[@jimmeyers8960]

Wow. Subbed within the first 30 seconds. Professional, pleasant to listen to, informative. Patreon is probably next and I hardly ever do that. Well done.

[@harryblends]

Amazing. Thank you!

[@dazza9905]

You explained it so well. I have never fully understood geometry nodes and this video made it so much clearer. Specifically this sentence: "But if you follow a fields flow and identify where it's being evaluated, it's not"

[@harryblends]

Thank you! The kind of "understanding breakthrough" you've had with this is why I made it. It is all quite simple really - the hardest part is shedding our preconceptions and embracing what the nodes are doing... not what we think they should be doing

[@johnwicked1132]

I think this is probably the clearest explanation that could be made. Way easier to understand than the blender wiki.

[@MistaKittyKat]

Harry, this was a wicked, wicked, amazing walk through. I have been playing with geonodes for ages, and you actually hit everything. Super clear, just verbose enough, easy to listen to, and great visuals. Really nice.

[@letscompose8560]

The amount of work that went into this tut is insane.

[@cameron_mitchell]

This is really well done - clear descriptions, strong graphics to support the ideas. A great intro to Geometry Nodes.

[@HagenHung]

I had a rough idea of what these nodes did, but this video has definetely helped with the basics. After learning Scratch from highschool I was actually surprised with the similarities to geo nodes and now im wishing I paid more attention in class!😆This is my first time stumbling across your videos and the humor sprinkled throughout is a very refreshing take on Blender tutorials. I shall now go establish world peace bye forever

[@nunyabidnis3815]

This video is incredibly charming. Gives that sort of Ahoy or Kurzgesagt feel of fine and even pacing/vocals/animation, and light humor to keep things interesting. Thank you kindly, and I'd hope for many more of these in the future, while respecting the tremendous investment of time and effort that goes into such a lovely final product.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. There are indeed many more to come!

[@Vospi]

Yeah, such is a work of a good teacher: optimize and optimize. Especially the basics that you might not think that much about anymore. Thank you, that was enlightening!

[@petedejager]

Unbelievable production quality and clarity of explanations, as always. My jaw drops whenever I watch one of your videos.

[@TheEmptyHoliness]

i love your tutorials, learn something new every time

[@jamienotamy]

This video is so good I'm going to fall asleep listening to it every night until I have a full time job as a motion designer.

[@sibuhlubi]

This must be English humor🙈. Great intro to Geo Nodes 😊

[@vincelund7203]

I feel like these tutorials should have the words "DON'T PANIC" printed on their cover.

[@jordantylerflores]

Insta-sub. Incredibly well done and, honestly, the production value is on par with some of the largest educational channels on this platform.

[@harryblends]

Thank you and welcome!

[@PCgmesforever]

This content is invaluable. The clarity the production animation and design, the commentary... I love that this is here

[@PCgmesforever]

Thank you :)

[@ScamRandy]

I don't think I've heard a tutorial/breakdown feature such smooth comedy. Well done and very informative.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. Glad you found it useful!

[@TheGozeraye]

i love the diamond analogy im never going to forget now

[@harryblends]

Yes. Awesome to hear. Analogies can be such a great way for our brains to store concepts

[@rainerhorbach955]

These videos are genius. Not only from an educational standpoint but also extremely entertaining. Keep up this great work!

[@natifice]

Thank you very much for the clear introduction. I've always looked at geometry nodes from afar with daunted eyes. You made it clearer

[@harryblends]

Thank you. So pleased that this video help you

[@blenderdiscord]

The production quality of this video is truly exceptional!

[@Schmidtcreations]

As a pretty experienced geometry noder I still absolutely love this video. All your videos feel like blender meditation

[@harryblends]

I like the sound of "blender meditation". The goal is to make videos that people with any level of geometry node experience could enjoy. Glad you got something out of it!

[@averagemilffan]

I haven't even crossed the halfway point yet but dude, marvelously well done video, not just the explanations but also the presentation and the humor. Looking forward to seeing more from you

[@harryblends]

Thank you!

[@danpinvidic9616]

I have been searching for this type of video for several days. This is an excellent foundation that every new user...and likely exp0erienced users should see. Thank You

[@harryblends]

Thanks. Glad you found it and found it useful!

[@salamanetwork]

Amazing Man, I love your Teching Methods. Keep it up.🥰, Simplicity with Powerful Knowlwges.

[@justy256]

30 seconds in and I pause to like and subscribe. Just what I need and explained the way I like.

[@harryblends]

Thank you

[@aron3327]

My god, the first few seconds and it’s already a treat! Thank you for making this, it’s exactly the core of fundamental concepts I’ve been trying to wrap my head around (failed every single time) and then this! Genius work

[@harryblends]

Awesome to hear that it helped. I made it because it was the kind of thing I needed when I when I started Geometry Nodes and couldn't find. Making it actually helped me understand it all even more.

[@FunAlltime247]

How the hack you are doing this? Please make a tutorial on your tutorial. I was more curious about the tutorial then the content of it.❤

[@joshuab4092]

Omg yes I I'd love to learn how you animate your tutorials.. lol these videos are incredible! I'd use this for my Chiropractic business..

[@robertphipps1430]

really clear vid. never understood how to save and reuse attribute values !!!

[@harryblends]

The Store Named Attribute node is ridiculously useful. It really allows you to build complex stuff

[@rzm3663]

Best geo node tutorial i've ever seen. No other comments needed

[@tiagogiraovideos]

One of the best and clear vid about gn. Super awesome. Liked very much and subscribed your channel. Very well done

[@xaviere.3299]

thanks, much appreciated. great compositing and narrative, as usual.

[@squeegel3904]

Unbelivable production. Loved every second, will rewatch until it all clicks, thank you for your expertise!

[@harryblends]

Thank you

[@marslight431]

Bro this sums up everything I've had to learn for 9 months 😂

[@sobreaver]

0:46 oh, really, after all the time I've been trying to understand GeoNodes, I don't remember having heard about the spread sheet this way, much a clearer tangible approach to the information. Crap this video is awesome, it's the first video every GeoNode enthusiast should start with before delving into tutorials and trying to follow what the hell is going on. OH MY LORD thanks =] This video Almost needs to be paid for ;) I'm freaking happy sir for the CLARITY you have brought to the abyssal darkness in my brain in the GeoNode memory sectors. You have definitely and easily snagged my sub ! Thank you !

[@harryblends]

Thank you. It’s so awesome to hear when it connects for people. I hope you make some lit stuff with that newly lit brain space

[@DKNS_DSGN]

Amusing introduction, love it.

[@shmuelisrl]

"I realized how the simplest of ideas can so easily come across as advanced gibberish" so true. well done. explaining fields is a daunting task. so many places to start ans so may ways to mess it up.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. This was so tricky to write but when I decided to start as simply as I could and build up from there, it became a lot easier to thread my way through

[@xtremearchives7644]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you.

[@hectorescobar9450]

Man, your content is so good I’d be happy to pay for one on one lessons

[@onionjedi]

This is incredibly well done. I understood more than I could imagined for this complex field. Thank you and keep up the incredibly good work making these vids!

[@harryblends]

This is awesome to hear. Thank you

[@hamishpain8641]

That 4x4 Matrix joke was amazing. Loving it

[@dmitry1976yt]

I'm not fluent in English, could you explain me the joke, please?

[@hamishpain8641]

Sure. At 3:11 he says "The powerful complexity of a 4x4 Matrix, which is not as I first hoped Keanu in an SUV". An SUV is a car that is sometimes known as a 4x4 or a 4-Wheel Drive. Keanu refers to the actor from The Matrix. So a "4x4 Matrix" might be mistaken for an SUV being driven by Keanu.

[@dmitry1976yt]

@@hamishpain8641 Thank you, so as I understand "Keanu in an SUV' is related to just "4x4 Matrix" and not to "powerful complexity"

[@amoose136]

Once again an excellent production and a clearly stated tutorial.

[@galacticbroadcastingcompan8756]

Ooooooh! That's what that window is for...😃

[@leonarddoublet1113]

Thanks Harry! I learned some basics I should really have grasped ages ago. Plus I actually laughed out loud in this one - congrats. And before you ask - yes you got me, I liked and subscribed. Great work helping me get a better understanding of nodes.

[@harryblends]

The grasping basics things is great. So good to hear. Making the video gave me a better understanding/visualization of those basics. I think geometry node basics are something you can't revisit enough. It's not that they're too complex, it's just that they don't work in the way you first expect them to and it takes time to build new reflexes

[@grobknoblin5402]

I could watch a tutorial on how you make your tutorials haha. These videos are beautiful! and I love the sense of humor! Awsome video! I Hope you are well! These videos make my week!

[@dannankelly]

man i would love to see your editing process for these videos . the way you mix motion graphics and Blender Interface. very cool , great work everytime. ;)

[@AINIMANIA-3D]

Now this is something different. It’s like I’m watching a blender tutorial on the BBC.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. It's not something "completely different'" though. If it were there'd be a dead parrot

[@PIXXO3D]

amazing

[@mohammedhatim9047]

Amazing work man👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Respect

[@Wilphi]

It’s outrageous how good these videos are! ❤

[@JohnnyThund3r]

Very hitchhikers guide to Blender vibes... I like it!

[@MusondaMapaalo]

I'm not even done watching the video and I have to praise how well the presentation of such a complex concept is done. Amazing work, thank you

[@noriega211]

Another wonderful presentation from you sir. Thankyou for adding value to the blender community and for continuously educating us with your knowledge 🔥💯💯

[@harryblends]

Thank you!

[@antoniolima1068]

30 seconds in and already liking it, well done.

[@WagnerDeQueiroz]

sometimes i ask my self, How a human can made this kind of magnificent video?

[@DesignerNetanel]

U have to make a video of how you make these videos..... And by the way, this video was by farrrr the most valued I have ever encountered

[@harryblends]

Thank you. I'll be posting breakdowns of sequences of my videos over on patreon. The problem with doing a single tutorial is I use so many little techniques it would be a massive thing to make/watch

[@arq4ngel15]

Amazing !!! thanks. Excelent video

[@lenkapredani8726]

beautiful please keep going with more tutorials this kind👍

[@geemboomba]

This is crazy good and so well done. Thank you.

[@RubberDuck5]

Thanks, Harry, for learning to blend geometry with blender while capturing noodles on point.

[@drawnbyrobot4154]

This video was crazy and I immediately subscribed to your Patreon. Much success to you and looking forward to future videos. Oh just out of curiosity though, how did you reroute your nodes continuously as if extruding a face?

[@qulzam685]

please don't stop making these helpful videos

[@williamlacrosse9389]

Pure gold bro! Awesome explanations. Thx for sharing.

[@KingEnerji]

Once again, amazing work 👍

Great explanation. Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

[@smilgu]

Amazing work. Thanks!

[@usercurious]

So beautiful and elegant

[@hiepcongnguyen]

Actually, this geometry is too difficult, please explain in detail, it is a barrier for me, I hope you will give more instructions like this. One more thing, your voice is very interesting. I'm come from Vietnam ❤❤❤

[@13thxenos]

This is without a doubt, the best video I've seen about Blender in general, not just geometry nodes. I wish I had money to support you on Patreon. Hopefully, I can make money by learning from you on youtube. I also like to make a youtube channel, in a year or so. Hope you get to a 100k subs before then.

[@luzid.vision]

Outstanding explanation.

[@angrychompski]

why does this remind me of those space videos that give you existential dread

[@harryblends]

because it's a geometry node video that gives you existential dread?
