Make Blooming Roses in Blender Geo Nodes

[@Sizwe_Msi]

this is what i call a Tutorial, many of these blender tutorial makers, are just flexing their skills. they are not teaching us anything as beginners. but with this one i really learned something. Thanks bro, i will definitely follow you

[@cheuqs]

Thanks man, Glad to hear that!

[@gxbind]

I had to double-check and read the title again, I honestly thought this was a houdini tutorial after watching the first few seconds. Thank you so much for this!

[@cheuqs]

Haha yeah tried to replicate that dynamic lighting alot of Houdini renders use

[@2121Raghav]

Lighting is everything iykyk❄️

[@SaifArabb]

@@cheuqs what do you mean by dynamic lighting ?

[@grahamthomas9319]

best models on turbo squid are like $35 for a single rose. Absolutely beautiful work. Purchased and subscribed. I love the blender community!

[@cheuqs]

Thanks! yeah went through the same searching for flower models before too haha

[@леушина]

Wow, i am trying to recreate it and i was struggling with 2:20 because when i would rotate z axis it rotated totally different, not like in your video, but after retrying fo the 3rd time i noticed that on Rotate Euler it should have been Local, not Object. So now i am happy to continue recreating. Blender has so many little details which make the work go in the totally opposite direction, so i should be attentive. Thank you

[@davidcalles7258]

big congrats, this tutorial is amazing covering different purposes for geo nodes. I've been remixing this theory with other tuts to get my own results and from my personal experience (in case it is useful), I'd rather have a float input named Rose bloom connected to several "map range" nodes , which control each of the fields where you keyframed values. This way you define the limits and you are able to control the whole animation with just an slider making it more customizable in case you make more flowers and you want to offset the anim. Keep rocking it pal!

[@cheuqs]

Thanks! yeah I tried using math nodes to do the keyframing but I ran into the issue of the node names not showing up in graph editor channels and it got too confusing with a bunch of same name channels haha

[@davidcalles7258]

@@cheuqs you are right, this plus the modifiers UI in 4.0 without the geoNodes tabs is a bit off. Hope blender fixes it hahahaha

I'm still on the icing of the donut, but this is my next project. Your animation is just mind-blowing! 😊

[@siahsargus2013]

Absolutely brilliant use of blender. This is exactly the kind of high-yield tutorial I love! Feels cheap to call it tutorial, this is a masterclass. I was thinking to myself "I bet someone has made a proper rose out of geometry nodes" and looked it up, because I new it was possible; I figured I would have to do a bunch of work to get a proper rose nonetheless. Buuut... I wasn't expecting it to be this in-depth, or so thoughtful about the actual anatomy of the rose. You've practical done all of the work already! I can only imagine how many tweaks this took, how much experimentation! Now I can add a whole field of roses and they'll just look... right!

[@SanD3D]

I really wish I knew what you are pressing. I spent half an hour figuring out to press shift + a. I am not new to blender but Nodes are something I haven't messed with because I have been avoiding it because of how messy it is. I also need to use with a mesh over curves as I am learning for hard surface modeling. I have adhd and I can't tell you how frustrating nodes are as they don't seem to be put together in any logical sense with lines going in every direction. Thank you for the tutorial, I appreciate it even though I am struggling through it.

Thanks! still trying to perfect my method for cameras and lighting but should make a video on it some time in the future

[@hectorthespector]

Outstanding tutorial and a beautiful result! This is real top tier content. Will you make a geo node tutorial on the stems also?

[@cheuqs]

Thank you! Yeah, I hope to get one out soon but in short its a Bezier curve, with thickness and UV in geometry nodes. Then just instanced the growing leaf and thorns and just a trim curve to grow it

Brother, do you have any advice or tip for making a drop of water fall into a petal?

[@TheTeslaw]

Cool process and really high end result. Small note : Euler is pronounced [Oy-luh] from the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler

[@cheuqs]

Ahh yes, I always forget that

[@sobreaver]

Realllllllly nice !

[@bazibada]

Excellent setup ! Do you think it could be combinable with cloth to get an even mroe realistic movement and petals and also prevent intersections ?

[@cheuqs]

I don't think so for this type of setup, I tried but I couldn't get cloth sims to work with geometry nodes, it can work on instances but then you cant control the position and shape of them while the sim is running. Another work around is creating a flower with petals and then using force fields to make it bloom, I'm working on some tests right now hopefully that should be the next video

[@bazibada]

@@cheuqs Thanks for your answer ! I worked on a flower setup in C4D with cloth attached to folding splines, it kinda worked but was heavy as hell with all the petals and couldn't prevent some intersections no matter what. Was wondering what could be possible in Blender. Will still learn many things from your video :)

[@georgecottrell5325]

has anyone tried exporting this into other software. i tried using exporting as alembic into unreal but the mesh is not coming through

[@Ninnepinne12]

Is there any chance youll do a tutorial on how to make the growing stem? Amazing tutorial btw!

[@celialopez5605]

Hello, thanks so much for the tutorial; yes I have a question. Once I've done the animation in geometry nodes etc. How can I export it in glb? Or in alemebic? Is it possible?

[@geoinmot]

Exceptional! I wish I understood the flow and manipulation of nodes as well as you do. Do you have general advice to improve with GN?

[@cheuqs]

Things that helped me were to just build and learn in small subjects, scaling, rotate, transform and instancing, I honestly don't know much about geometry nodes outside of instancing but just that option opens a ton of doors to what I can make. Just think of anything you are going to build in stages

[@AmrMohamed-hf5uj]

How can I export these geo nodes to an alembic format with animation for rendering with other render engines please?

[@CaroSaysHola]

This is such an amazing tutorial, thank you so much! I have a question: (I'm using your petals for context) in the material , when I click on shader editor to add the nodes you recommend I don't see all the other stuff you have on your end, am I missing a step (I'm very new to 3D so I'm learning as I go)

[@venacava7897]

the tutorial is good but I can't for the life of me make the rose resemble yours, I feel like I need to have the exact copies of the curve and the petal, my guess is the scale and rotation play a big role on how the flower is going to end up looking

[@maximplotkin6901]

Tell me how you modeled this wonderful wooden vase or where can I buy it? 😍

[@cheuqs]

Its actually from Quixel (Driftwood Piece), I just retextured it with a wood texture from blenderkit I think

[@cryshleeTV]

Hi, new sub here, love your videos! I’m not a beginner but your videos still taught me a ton! I have a question-can you go further in depth on why you chose 137.5 (Fibonacci spiral) for your rotation angle as opposed to the other rotation angles? Reason being I’ve been trying to combine math and plant spirals and have no idea where to start other than googling “petal growing angle” lmao. I just don’t know which angles to pick and how to input that data into geometry nodes. Sorry, it’s probably a really simple solution but I am a total newbie when it comes to math and blender

[@cheuqs]

I honestly couldn't tell you the best as I'm not that good at math either haha, but basically the rotation 137.5 is the rotation of each petal on the z axis, this is what they grow like in nature along with some other plants. Other angles I showed you could use for different flowers or stem growth on a plant depends on what you would be making really. To use the other angles just multiply the angle by 57 (x*57) I'm not sure why it's 57 but has something to do with blenders rotation on combine XYZ, here's the Bad Normals video I learned it from kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6TPhZSnntuSbc0si=DPl01OuS1hzQYt0d&t=1038

[@jzhi]

Thanks for the tut! Bad Normals converts degrees to radians. Thats why he uses 57. It is also can be managed by using "to radians" math note. @cheuqs

[@mr_dexter2]

Hey I just created the rose watching your video it was a great and useful one but now I am stuck I want to export this into Houdini and don't know how to export this kindly help me do so please 🙏

[@helenamiciajewa3454]

Thank you very much for your work! I'm delighted! I kindly ask you to please tell me how to set up automatic animation (where a flower opens and closes its petals). When I move the rose, rotate it, or change the size of the flower, everything works, but the petals don't follow these changes. I've spent two weeks trying to solve this problem, but no luck! :( Please help! I'm new to Blender... which probably explains everything :)

[@hayasoufi8359]

Hey! i just bought your Blooming Flowers Asset Pack and i'm having some trouble keyframing the flower animation (i need to set them to start growing at a certain keyframe and i don't know how), and i tried everything, if you could help with that it would be great. Thank you!

[@cheuqs]

Hey thanks! to change the bloom time of the animation you just need to select the flower and open up the geometry nodes panel, hover over all the nodes and press (A) to select all then in the timeline you can move all those keyframes back or forth to change the bloom time. May need to do the same for the stem growth for some

[@ヤグ-p2v]

Nice to meet you! I'm interested in growing plants, so I watched your video. It was very inspiring and I wanted to learn. However, when I insert the petals I made into the nodes, they don't work. There's not even a pivot position. It doesn't work on the first rotation. The shape of the flower is not good, it's lumpy, and it doesn't bloom beautifully. Why is that?

[@alshaerroji9298]

How can convert the curve to mesh while maintaining the rose shape?

[@goldcube8427]

I don't know if you've already found a solution, but if not you need to add a "realize to instance" node at the very end before the output node , than its as simple as right clicking the path and"convert to mesh"

[@BohdanBerezhnov]

This is awesome, one question, can this complete geometry animation be exported to other software using alembic?

[@cheuqs]

Yes you can, might be a bit more laggy but if you need just export the flower selected and make sure on the Alembic export settings you click everything on object options except for use schema & triangulate unless you need those

[@BohdanBerezhnov]

@@cheuqs I have tried, but alembic takes only leaves and disabling petals with branches. Should I select leaves that are seperate ? I am using your asset pack, but I want to export it fully to unreal using alembic.

[@cheuqs]

@@BohdanBerezhnov Ah ok yeah if its multiple objects in one setup (branch, leaf etc.) you just need to add a realize geometry node at the end of the setup and it should be able to full export. Seems like it exports 2 of the same mesh for me, so id just delete 1 to avoid any render/shader bugs

For the export settings make sure (Selected Objects, Color Attributes, Face sets, Curves as Mesh and "Subdivisions" apply are all checked/turned on. That should give you a full mesh version of them
