In this Geometry Nodes Tutorial, I show you how to instance any object (in this case, fire) along a curve in blender. This will allow us to draw and manipulate the curve to get some really cool results!

Hi and thanks for your video ! I would like to know how to use a "geometry node" addon when launching a new blender file ? Thanks

@rakdos5371 6 ай бұрын

Fantastic tutorial! I do have a question though, does your fire asset works in both eevee and cycle?

@KenanProffitt 6 ай бұрын

Hey there! Yes it does! However for cycles you will have to turn up the transparency passes in the render settings and the bloom will have to be in the compositor rather than the blook that eevee gives you.

Great tutorial. Had an extra idea for you. As you draw the fire, because you're using a fire texture, all of the fire objects have exactly the same moving texture. So, use an Object info node into the W of the musgrave texture (after switching it to 4D) and into the Z rotation of the musgrave mapping node (with a separate XYZ node in between) and it will give all of the instanced objects' shader some variation. Also, would love to know how you could make this animated. Can't use the bevel start and end frame of the curve, so what would be a workaround for that?

@markokovacevic3225 10 ай бұрын

I'm gonna try what you suggest here with the W field! Sounds cool! :) For animating the curve, try connecting/parenting the desired vertex to an empty via the hook modifier. It's limited movement if you have a lot of vertices, but can potentially work. EIDT: I actually see not that you want to achieve that the curve gradually appears from one side to another, perhaps the "Endpoint Selection" node can be used for this.

@@markokovacevic3225 I want it to appear like it's being written. If you were just doing this with a curve, you would add some bevel and then keyframe the start and end of the bevel. But geo nodes seem to cancel that out. I've been messing around with it and using curve to mesh and trim curve nodes seems to achieve the same effect, but the instanced objects don't seem to be affected by this. I'll keep messing around and let you know if I find a solution.

@markokovacevic3225 10 ай бұрын

@@pmdesigns5798 Good luck! I'm no expert by any means, so last question/suggestion, that you probably tried already: even if you put "realize instances" in the node tree, the instances still don't behave the way you want them?

@pmdesigns5798 10 ай бұрын

@@markokovacevic3225 Got it. Pretty easy actually. Just add a "trim curve" node between the first "group input" node and the first "curve to point/s" node/s and use the "end" slider to adjust the length of the curve. Don't use "Realize instances". not sure why, but it just makes it look bad. If using the "length" setting, it seems to jitter about as you extend the curve, so best to stick it to "count". Big problem, I think this means that the geo node setup needs to be duplicated and changed for each letter, if you wish them to be written consecutively. If I get time, I'll make a video and send you the link. Just so you can see what your tutorial helped someone else to achieve!

How can I assign different materials to each of the three objects that I put in the same collection info node? I used the set material node, but it applied the same material to all three objects.

@KenanProffitt 8 ай бұрын

Hey there! Make sure you tab into edit mode and press a to select all the faces then assign a new material. That should assign a separate material. :)

Hey Rajendra! I'm sure there is! Process would be similar if it was an animated texture. For an actual water sim it might be a bit tricky
