I'm going through the course, it's very clear, very nice. If anyone is hesitating to get it, get it! ;-) One thing that's not obvious -- maybe it's the teaching platform -- is where the downloadable resources are linked from ... the pdfs, etc.

[@Erindale]

The resources should be linked underneath each video. The ones under the videos directly are hosted on the teaching platform and all of the lesson end states and all files are linked from GitHub 👍

[@t----m]

@@Erindale Found them. Thanks. Strange. I didn't see them before. Anyhow, got 'em now! Thanks again.

Purchased the course as a thank you for all the help you've provided on here. I might add that I highly recommend it to anyone, the content and presentation are excellent.

[@Erindale]

Thanks so much Tacca!

[@Butterbilk]

Congrats on releasing the course! I hope the recent development on attributes and fields doesn't nullify much of your hard work.

[@Erindale]

I've been playing with the prototypes and it's all transferable knowledge the logic is the same, it's just easier to get into than attributes. The attribute system is 2.93 is going to be around for 2 years because it's LTS so we decided to go ahead with this course now and then in 6-12 months I'll do another one on the new system 😁

[@Butterbilk]

@@Erindale Nice, glad to hear it!

[@bpaulgaard]

Well, I finished it! I'm going to go back through it a couple more times just to make sure that I retain everything. I really enjoyed the course. The scene you came up with was just a blast to work on, and even more importantly, it really makes me want to explore geometry nodes further. Now, when can I expect the intermediate course.... :)

[@Erindale]

Damn you're fast! Feel free to share your output on social media and tag me! Seeing other students' work is a bigger commendation for the course than anything I can say 😁

[@nrosko]

I'm a complete beginner having a midlife crisis with a fascination in the idea of precaudal art. I've no idea if I really want to learn blender nodes vs other applications but I've enjoyed your presentations thus far & the mushrooms definitely got my attention, definitely worth the

[@Erindale]

Midlife crisies are a good excuse to get into Blenders nodes! I've played a lot with other software but always return to Blender. It might not be the most powerful for nodes but they're supported by the whole rest of Blender and it's addon ecosystem!

[@Quarkburger]

I've watch tutorials on geometry nodes and played with them a bit, but this course was really good in getting me back to basics so I had a good solid foundational understanding of geometry nodes. I'm looking forward to the next level course! :)

[@Erindale]

Thanks so much! Really glad you got something out of it!

That was the best course I've ever purchased! Congratulations and thank you! Your explanations are quite clear and inspiring. Looking forward to the advanced course already. :) I hope the very basics of geometry nodes doesn't change too much with upcoming blender 3.0. If so, will there be updates to the courses?

[@Erindale]

I'm adding a more casual longer session at the end of the course looking at using fields as it is right now. That should be up today 🤞

[@elizabethyorick8763]

This was a blast!! Excellent job on the course!! I was nervous I'd be able to keep up - I don't remember Algebra, Trig, etc. very well but there was barely any math and I finally understand a bit of Geometry Nodes. Thanks Erin!! And the price?? Can't be beat!!! I was literally sad when the course finished. ??? Quick question - Is there an easy way to keep the intermingling nodes connected but separate the different layers? Like the grass in one render layer, the mushrooms in another but still allow the proximity of the grass to be affected?

[@Erindale]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you were able to get through the course! Best way would be to split up the node tree I think so you have separate objects like grass, mushrooms, trees etc and when you need an interaction you can use an Object Info node set to Relative to reference another object. That'll let you control visibility separately for your layers

[@elizabethyorick8763]

@@Erindale THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! It worked!! I had to use an Object Info node set to Relative and instead of using the Location use the Geometry output to the Target. Woohoo!! Thank you so much for the quick help!! When I get done adding the effects and rendering it I'll share it on your Discord. I am so STOKED!! Thank you again!!!

[@dinisdesigncorner332]

never purchased smth so quickly..

[@Erindale]

Ah thank you! I hope it's useful!

[@M4Pxls]

Just enrolled with all my heart. Will it be updated with the new "fields"?

[@Erindale]

Ultimately yes! But not immediately. I want to give fields a chance to settle so I know I won't have to do another one later. I will release videos on this channel about shifting from attributes to fields so in the short-term, those references will be released here.

[@CHEEZEyCHEEZE]

I love the Channel it has helped me so much with my 3D modeling. I wanted to ask you if you could do some tutorial on creating a human and animal(4 legs 1 tail) using geometry nodes. In my mind I can see how it would be easy to do in geoNodes in the sense that it is 2 arms 2 legs 5 fingers split by a centerline. Just the outline would be nice so I can go between something short and tall, fat and skinny etc. Not a full smooth body, just the shape. Again thank you so much for all the content it has been so helpful so far.

[@Erindale]

Geometry Nodes is probably not the best thing to be using for that! You're definitely going to be faster with sculping and armaturs to rig :)

[@HisWorkman]

Thank you, The course was great and easy to understand. With Blender moving to fields in the future can you update the course with a blender file using fields when they are available?

[@Erindale]

I am just rendering a 40 minute more casual video where I go through making the full scene with fields as it is right now. That should be available in the next few days as an addendum at the end of the course. I'll also make sure the file is available on the github too.

[@HisWorkman]

Thank you!

[@Erindale]

It's available now if you check the course page 🙂

[@manika1290]

It's nice but with the major change coming to geometry node wouldn't this course become obsolete ?

[@Erindale]

I don't think so really. Blender 2.93 is an LTS release so for studios and people who don't want to jump around, it'll be directly relevant for 2 years. And for everyone following the updates, the logic on the course is still followable. The only change will be that things are connected more like shaders with noodles instead of being so heavy on attributes so it'll be a fairly simple transition for students figuring out the change.

[@GDi4K]

Easy buy. I didn't even check the content :D You could have charge more.

[@Erindale]

Thanks so much!

[@ilikeblender]

are there subtitles? is it only in english?

[@Erindale]

I'm afraid so for the moment

[@Silentout]

I enrolled in your course and it's really interesting so far. I'm trying to figure out how to combine the deformation part with a attribute proximity but I can't make it work. Is it possible to have the texture deformation strength and influence based on the location of a empty for example? There's some tutorials with proximity but it usually just influences scale or texture in general. Thank you in advance.

[@Erindale]

A nice way to do it is to use your attribute proximity between your icosphere and the empty (as the target) to output a distance attribute. Then use an Attribute Map Range node to control the effect similar to how we do with the proximity to the mushrooms (from min / max is the distance and use 1 and 0 as the outputs so it deforms near the empty and 0 deformation further away). Then you can simply multiply the attribute you'll add to the position by your distance attribute. In the fireflies case that's the attribute "fireflies" just before it goes into the Vector Math node with the position attribute.

[@Silentout]

@@Erindale I'll try, thank you so much for responding.

[@NigraXXL]

Hey Erindale! I've just bought the course, and I'm really looking forward to get through it. I just realized though, that it seems the geo node system will get kind of reworked for 3.0 if I'm not wrong. I'm curious, do you plan to update it when the rework comes? :)

[@Erindale]

I will be but not for a little while. I can't be sure things won't go through more changes during the teething period. This current course is going to remain relevant for 2.93 LTS though. I will probably wait until next summer before doing another Geo Nodes course just to make sure I'm not needing to do another another course :)

[@praj293]

Would love to get this course! Is it still recommended to do with blender 3.0+?

[@Erindale]

It's mainly relevent for 2.93 as the workflow changed quite significantly going into 3.0

[@dpkgray]

How well does this apply to the fields update? Will you be updating the course?

[@Erindale]

There will be but not until probably next summer. I want to be confident in the development direction and have more tools available to be able to create a bit of a more advanced / longer course. As for the logic, it carries over to fields but there are different connections. All the talk about attributes would be a bit superfluous but in a good way. Fields is a definite upgrade.

[@dpkgray]

@@Erindale Thank you, I will be looking for it when it comes out. Also, what are yours plans for the Erindale Toolkit? Will there be an update for that also?

[@Erindale]

​@@dpkgray Yes absolutely! I've been holding back while the fields update has been up in the air but now it's landed I'll be converting all the groups to use fields as well as an updated addon system so they don't all get appeneded every time a file is opened. Got a bunch of groups planned for curves as well so it's definitely an ongoing project. It got a little bit waylaid by my new Sverchok course being made as well but that's all done now!

[@dpkgray]

@@Erindale Good to hear, I will be looking forward to your new work.

Hello Erindale, I am interested in your course, unfortunately my English is not perfect. Are there a subtitles or text files (*.srt) for your course. In addition, I would like to know what the minimum PC requirements are. I ask because on some big procedural nodes, the PC crashed. My PC CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz, RAM: 16GB, GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6800, OP: Windows 10 Thanks a lot

[@Erindale]

Your hardware should be fine, it's very much a beginner's course so the nodes don't get too complex. There are currently no subtitles either. It's on my to do list though!

[@CloneBorg]

@@Erindale When can we expect a text file. I think it is also interesting for deaf.

[@Erindale]

@@CloneBorg I think I should have some time for it in October! In full crunch mode at the moment

[@CloneBorg]

@@Erindale Thank you for your positive reply, I will buy the course and hope I understand most of it. I will be happy if you add a text file after your stress. I think you will then inspire even more international students.

@@Erindale will you update the course with 3.0? I have seen that the nodes are different.

Does this course still work for 3.0? or is it going to be updated?

[@Erindale]

There is a final session on the Canopy Games platform where we go through the scene with the new system in 3.0. between the course and the Geometry Nodes 101 videos (for 3.0) I posted at the end of October on KZbin I think it's a good entry to geometry nodes

[@lisarauch2339]

Is it also worth for blender 3.0 ?

[@Erindale]

Honestly I'd just look at my Geo Nodes 101 videos on here. The ones from October

[@Gothdir]

Hey, I want to purchase this course but since its for 2.93 Im not sure how uptoidate the course? Can someone help me out?

[@Erindale]

There is no update for the course yet. You'll find one final session that goes through the process with 3.0 but otherwise I'll make a new course a bit later this year when there's another LTS blender. Otherwise the information is obsolete too fast.

[@Gothdir]

@@Erindale Thanks for the fast reply. Yeah, I can understand why you want to wait for the next LTS version. Guess Ill have to look around for some good tutorials. Most stuff you find on youtube just shows how to scatter stuff but Im more intrested in how to approach procedural buildings and such.

[@jippee1]

But fields tho

[@Erindale]

2.93LTS isn't going to get updates to fields so this is still relevant. And fields are just like attributes but easier so the workflow knowledge is still transferable :)
