Gizmos // Blender 4.3 Tutorial

[@DefaultCube]

hopefully this tutorial gives you the knowledge to make your own procedural primitives (and more!) howevverrrrr - if you do want to pick it up it's here blendermarket.com/products/better-primitives (DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE there is a 50% discount until Sunday as an early bird thing)

[@AtanvarnoALDA]

This looks like something to be integrated into base Blender, wow.

[@jmssun]

This needs to be canon 🎉🎉🎉

You can put math nodes on the double lines as well, so in the cases where the gizmos are moving off of the geometry as you move them, you can change the math so its stuck to the edge.

[@TheAmazingCowpig]

I've been waiting for non-destructive primitives for years now...

[@viola_case]

For people having trouble understanding why you slot the value into the gizmo and not vice versa: The reason it passes the output into the input is because you're passing in a reference, not the value. This is why there's a pointing symbol next to it; it acts as a pointer to the value in memory. The reason here is "because computers."

[@argi4141]

Would love to see Better Primitives get "rounded cube" as an option!

[@BrentonWoods774]

There's a huge problem: these primitives do not have procedural UVs...

[@danialsoozani]

man i didn't even know they've added gizmos!! thanks a lot for making goodies from unseen stuff!

[@RockMedved]

5:06 Can also slap an Absolute node between Group Input and Vertices X input, so it will increase vertex count in negative direction too. Doesnt solve the problem of the operation being inverted when looking from the other side, but oh well.

I am very interested in using gizmos in some of my tools but have been waiting for someone to figure them out and explain them to me at a modified speed

[@BlenderDaily]

super demo, thanks :)

[@backyy07]

Sounds cool, id like to see this in action. like it being used in an actual workflow. Does it stay non destructive if I add an inset and an extrude or does the modifier have to be applied, so that I can edit the mesh?

[@KyleNally]

This should be added into the mainline release tbh

[@AndreyTsupiy]

I recently made specific models of tables that I almost always use in my viusalisation work and they have objects acting as hooks for the height, width and length, which saves me a lot of time. If you were to make lets say a kitchen cabinet set with geo nodes non-destructive settings for the length, width, height, amount of shelves, types of handles etc. that would be very very valuable in the blender archviz world. Same thing with standardised windows. That would be absoulutely amazing. To give you an idea ;)

[@fifdesign89]

such a awesome tool - is thera a way to kind of make a break point in the mod setup to edit the verts for example - like in 3dsmax?

[@pile333]

Very good. Nice job!

[@JohnnyDavila]

You could teach us how to use particles with collision like Rigid Body. Something like a spawner but spawns rigid body objects instead of particles.

[@FruitZeus]

Did they fix the gizmos yet so they work with auto key?

[@GameDragon2k]

This is amazing, but the most mind blowing part of this to me is the existence of the dial gizmo. Does any default tool in Blender use this kind of gizmo? This seems really interesting to me.

Spin tool in edit mode

[@darrennew8211]

I saw a description of how gizmos work, but this is obviously the first step to a long collection of great uses. Very cool! There's probably a reason the outputs are on the left of the node, but I can't imagine why. :-) Unless it's because the thing it's affecting is going to be on the right side of *that* node?

[@sebbosebbo9794]

💪💥🗯🔥💭❤💨🕊 One step closer to vanilla procedural primitve objects ....

[@dmigul]

Unpopular opinion: I would prefer completely "houdinified" Blender, with all primitives and legacy modifiers converted to geo nodes alternatives. If you need to tweak preset a bit - you just expose graph and add what you need.

[@h-unte-r_]

Thank you 😀👍

[@HenrisKas]

Sir you are genius. Purchased. Thnx.

[@jippee1]

It would be nice if the gizmo had a tooltip showing the value

[@a4gr]

Do you also have a mesh line tool?

[@S4IKICK]

The thumbnail was too cute to ignore so here I am

[@normietwiceremoved]

I dont use geometry nodes at all and i feel so behind

[@fergadelics]

I started using gn for one simple task. Then another specific thing… it worked out well starting off that way for me.

[@Florianski]

Can you keyframe/animate the gizmos somehow?

What is Vulkan ?

[@jmssun]

Modernized OpenGL

[@VisualistAyush07]

@jmssun What will it help in ?

[@jmssun]

@ OpenGL was a sets of graphical features that were used to standardize the industry so that any compliant software can have compliant features be accelerated by compliant acceleration hardware.. The standard got old, so they made a new standard called Vulkan that comes with newer features for modern needs and technologies

[@realhamza2001]

I can't believe that this isn't a built-in feature of blender yet!
