Create A Living Parasite Effect With Geometry Nodes (Blender Tutorial)

[@paulkuykendall5584]

I like your tutorials. They show that you can do great things with a simple set up. They are always fun to do and learn from. I did the Sci-fi Structure one and would have never thought to use 2 geometry nodes sandwiching a Decimate in the modifier stack. Complexity by layering simple objects.

[@RookwingsKirk]

Thank god you reuploaded this, I was really looking forward to watching it!

[@OnePatrix]

8:25 - you cant see them cause you have to select both : the node that you animating and the object from collection to highlight it with blue box OR In "View" on Timeline uncheck the box "Only Keyframes for Selected Channels" - it'll shows every node that is animated, and not even node - every property that is animated It helped for me :D

[@dubblesnup4457]

thanks dude!

[@Foxqin]

so cool

[@visingh]

I think the tutorial doesn't cover the wobbly effect on the ico sphere outer shell you see at 0:04, any idea how to go about achieving this?

[@bingo_product7193]

Hi Ducky 3D, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your incredible Blender tutorials, especially on geometry nodes. Your clear explanations and creative approach have made learning Blender so much easier and enjoyable for me. You've really helped me level up my skills, and I'm excited to apply everything I've learned to my 3D projects. Keep up the fantastic work, and I can't wait to see what you share next! Best regards, Fazly Rabby

[@ra3490]

Thank you, Ducky. This is an awesome tutorial.

[@skahra8377]

great video, everything works first try and without any obstacle it was informed and the result is nice to watch

[@ingorotfuchs1267]

Good job! All needed parameters are given and explained in the tutorial, so I could re-make the scene very easy! The way, things are described, lead to a perfect result! At some points, you need to view it fullscreen, to identify some mouse-clicks and nodes, but I watch tutorials by play-pause-reproduce in blender-play-pause... anyway.

[@hasankhdeirat8338]

in the video 12:25 i cant make the gew glow why tho??

[@jamesmackin7480]

To see your keyframes you must select the geo in your viewport or in your outliner

[@Geminotrous]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It really helped me in a slump! Great tutorial and very easy to follow! Kudos to you!

[@Renatamf]

Thank you so much! You are such a good teacher, one of the best tutorials i have done yet, thank you!

[@Teeheehee093]

Cntrl+J lets you label your nodes, so you can name one goo, the other wireframe, and the other balls, so you don't forget which is which

[@wrxnglove]

13:15 - the option to connect to emission is gone as of version 4.1. any idea how to circumvent this? thanks!

[@Social-64gggggg]

i manage to fix it somehow. Ok so you add a combine color node and link to the emission color. After that, you add 3 color ramps, which go to every one of the XYZ axis. Then you take the layer weight, and use as the factor for the 3 color ramps. I found it by dumb luck, I hope it helps.

[@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132]

fun fact: making a Perfect Tetrahedron (or 3 sided pyramid) . is suprisingly tricky in blender there's no "add object option" , cone with 3 verticies just does not work , and face of an icospere might leave you with weird scale/rotation that you might not want . . so you Have to get measure it out in some way

Hello ! great work and clear explanations, i wonder if we could add glass traingle faces on the base and create a collision effect for the gew when it hit the glass faces ? is it possible to do it in geometry node ?

love your videos, learning so much in blender. You have mentioned how blender creates a loop animation several times, so once the sequence is done, where do you go from there. ( having a PNG sequence and creating a video) love your stuff, keep it up

My loop isn't perfect and I did everything as said, anyone knows why?

[@maximilianbachem8828]

had the same mistake, and just tried it again but didnt copy the second noise texture. I just created it manually and did the same settings as explained in the video. Suddenly it worked, idk why :D

[@maxdaboredbrd]

@@maximilianbachem8828 Thanks for answering. I tried it but sadly it's still not working for me, blender magic is needed

[@Brandonrayjacobs]

@@maxdaboredbrd i'm having the same issue, did you ever figure this out?

[@Rex-cm1wx]

@MaxDaBoredBrd Watch Him carefully. When he puts the keyframes on the second noise texture he starts at frame 120 with the W keyframe set to 0. Then he moves to frame 0 and sets the W keyframe at -1.0. I think that will fix your issue.

[@bartondisplay]

i also didn't manage to loop it. maybe it's some setting that's different in the newer versions? @ducky3D

[@theswedishcommentor]

How long _should_ this take to render?

[@shawn-h9g]

I can say that cycles is the best for this if you don't mind the smoke coming out of your computer.

[@Babyak713]

how would you animate the little cage tho......................

[@tyrongracias]

how do i make the vertex of the outer isosphere mover along with the small spheres at the end

[@locked_closet]

Best I could come up with is applying a "transform geometry" node to my joined geometry (before combining out weird morphing glob) and using rotate, scale, and translation properties to move it. I am certain there is a better solution but it is beyond my capabilities

[@beataizabelazajac818]

Is anyone figured out how to apply this animation on a different mesh?

[@liminalsequence]

for some reason, my cage/ico sphere is bulky, even at 0.1m...then just vanishes. Anyone here can help?

i swear i hate geometry nodes 😂 6:01 we have an icosphere that we mesh to curve, only to curve to mesh directly after. and i cant tell for the life of me why we did it 🤣

[@devangsand-rz1dz]

The reason as per my limited understanding is that first we convert the mesh edges into curves, and then the resulting curves have to be converted back to mesh to create a sort of wireframe that we see in the video. Hope that helps 😀.

[@daniilbondarenko4958]

WOW! and ths U!

"Goo"

[@AlonsoDigital]

If yours doesn't loop, make sure that the keyframes of the second noise texture starts at -1 on frame 0 and ends with the value 0 on your last frame.

It's just a beginner tutorial. Please show me a beautiful parasite 3D model that you made! I assume you are an expert in Blender

[@thai_le_foto]

Am I missing something? I didn't see how you made the wireframe move with the goo. I don't see any spot to do that animation with the wireframe node section either. If I connect the nodes that animate the goo, to the wireframe nodes, it just gives a red line and disables the wireframe.
