Creative Coding - Torus Knot + Text Animation With Geometry Nodes

#geometrynodes #blender #tutorial
This time I’ll show you how I made this motion graphics loop inspired by the work of Etienne Jabob. You’ll learn to generate a Torus Knob using a more artist-friendly method. You’ll also see how to instance texts characters onto the mesh faces and make use of the Mesh Topology nodes to orient those instances properly. I learned a lot working on this and hope you do too.

This looks sooo goood

[@OneDamNote]

6:42 shift+right click drag for that draw line trick.

Thank you Ilir. BTW - I'm one of those few people that do not mind longer materials of such great quality.

[@grobknoblin5402]

yes long videos are great!

[@BrentonWoods774]

Amazing

[@paulh1720]

this is an amazing animation (well done) ... - and thanks for sharing the details on how you achieve this masterpiece - much appreciated

[@ilirlluka6789]

Nicely done. Keep up the great work.

[@Laecy]

This is gorgeous!

Thank you for the lesson!

Premium content as always 🔥🔥🔥

[@josealloza5908]

Thank you so much

[@vizdotlife]

Thank you! I was able to follow along the entire video tutorial from start to finish to create exactly as you shared in Blender 4.1. This is really an awesome animation with loads of little tips that can be applied to other projects too. 🙏

Instant sub!

[@BoyceBailey]

Could watch this for hours. its magic.

[@grobknoblin5402]

YES! I was praying you would make this one a tutorial after I saw it on your shorts you are a master! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

[@OAM1]

Splendid! "I know what I'm talking about" yessir! Great tutorial, as always 🤩

[@mrofnoctonod]

Some very interesting anti-aliasing flickering going on in the lighter version of your render. There's none in the dark version.

[@ming-jc3bh]

I really like your video, would you share with us how you added nodes?❤❤❤

Great Video Ilir Sir. Been following you since 4 months via youtube because this channel is a hidden gem to me . I followed the tutorial till last but I found a issue when i tried to replicate the same . When i try to loop the animation it fails because the distances between the letters or mesh compresses a bit i dont know why so when the frame ends it looks very off , Can you help me with this when you are available to comment on this

[@fatal_it7041]

Nevermind I found a temporary solution for slowing down the animation(Map Range) and increasing frames

[@ilirbeqiri]

I explain that towards the end of the video. Watch it till the end.

Hi, I'm stuck on minute 6:38 of your tutorial. When I join geometry from the "Coil" section to Group Output it works fine, but I follow along for the additional steps shown on 6:38 of the video I'm getting an empty mesh displayed in the viewport. Pretty sure my node structure and setup for everything up until this point is exactly the same, but maybe not. And I am indeed using Curve Circle for the Profile Curve in the Curve to Mesh node group. Do you have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? The Torus Knot works perfectly joining geometry from the Coil section to Group Output. I'm using Blender 4.1.

[@vizdotlife]

Figured out what I did wrong. I incorrectly used Value instead of Position in the Sample Curve when joining with Position in Set Position. That worked : )

[@ilirbeqiri]

Happens to me a lot too. 😆
