Growing Particle Tree with Blender's new Particle Simulation Nodes

[@vrSpeechless]

Excellent ramblings! and interesting blender node work.

[@resquar3d534]

One of my favorite blender channel so far as i am a beginner.. love your approaches and looking forward to some tutorials soon to practice more.

[@josiahmackay1567]

I really enjoy your videos, Your little bits of philosophy in the middle. always makes my day a little bit better.

[@dronemacha]

Came here for the blender tutorial, stayed for the life advice...

[@myndwork]

dude i dig your channel, i love your approach. will watch future videos.

[@edmund0dao]

I skipped ahead a few minutes and now I can't stop endlessly floating in the matrix

[@Harpyvlogs]

It was a best blender tutorial. can you please make a 2d animation tutorial which can help me show a story before a Game

[@viktoriqtydzharova]

Hi, I tried to do the tutorial, but I am not finding the get particle attribute and set particle attribute nodes - can I replace these components with something else?

[@UZEETM]

Pretty awesome. Would love to see a detailed video wheb this finally comes out?

[@totochandelier]

beautiful

[@byKunle]

Can we get an update for 3.0?

[@moisespineda7886]

Awesome video!

[@monaime]

I came here for a particles tutorial, ended up thinking about something else. I can't look at a concept or an idea as a physical entity (even as a though experiment), because logically, a thing is either physical or not, the idea emerges from a physical brain, could the concept of money exists without the existance of a human brain? i don't believe so. The idea of money has an actual representation in reality, which is resources, and the concept of money is proven to be very useful as a shared belief, because it facilitate the exchange of resources. I agree with you that not all the wide spread ideas have the same truth value, and one should think critically about everything, in one hand, and try not to fall into cynicism, or conspiracies in the other hand.

i realize I am kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?

@Dallas Guillermo Flixportal :D

[@dallasguillermo5680]

@Zaire Justin Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !!

[@zairejustin5905]

@Dallas Guillermo Glad I could help =)

[@supremebeme]

mind blowing

[@neuroblossom]

thank you for the tutorial and also for sharing your philosophies

[@safinmahmud5091]

what about firefly particle?

[@lakvfx]

Please make more blender tutorial 🙏

[@arvindshaw225]

Sir, can you make a modelling tutorial of the tree used in the vid???

[@SketchesForHumanity]

I think I modeled it in a VR sculpting app a while back, so a tutorial wouldn't be very approachable for most blender users :/

[@neilmarshall5087]

Have no idea who you are, but that was the best random blender video ever.... Art & wisdom... And BOTH done well. Thanks. You will never find the "consciousness field" while you keep over rating (western) humans. It works just fine whether or not we are present.

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thanks for the comment! I'll keep mixing art&philosophy for sure :) Regarding your point on overrating humans: I agree that consciousness is probably nothing inherently special to humans (as in other life forms couldn't have consciousness), but at the same time I think it's also unproductive to not see the special features we do have, compared to other animals for example.

[@dieallerliefste]

when i go to builder.blender.org the function branch isn't there, is there an other way to do it or to get the zip file?

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Oh yeah, the function/particle nodes kind of died out when the dev team started working on the new geometry nodes. There's a branch for that, but it doesn't have these dynamic particles yet. They'll come later. The geometry nodes are a bit more universal system, designed to also include procedural modeling, set dressing, etc. Unfortunately it means that the particles got delayed, but fortunately they'll be able to use some of the code later when dynamic particles get the focus again..

[@ishworpathak3632]

Can we do this in 2.9?

[@SketchesForHumanity]

The particle stuff in this video was made with a separate particle development branch build. That branch is no longer active, as the developer has started to implement particle nodes to the master branch. You can check out my latest video to see the current status of particle nodes :)

[@atticuslv1399]

Great tutorial ...But maybe it‘s time to do a new video about the particle system，its UI has been completely changed in 2.9 6/26 build :)

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Yep, I'm patiently waiting for the moment there's actually something to do with the new 2.9 particles :) For now it's just the UI, no functional particles just yet...

[@level-me7it]

nice effect, but, I was expecting it to be better and more sci-fi looking. final render didn't look like particles, it was so dense, (less space between particles), it looked more like a curves moving on paths. Thanks for the demo.

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thanks for the feedback! Bparticles are not meant to look polished yet, these are just fun tests :) Regarding the spacing, for this test I specifically wanted them to look like curves, so it was intentional. But having them more spaced out could've looked interesting as well, for sure!

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Forgot to mention in the video, but I definitely recommend reading Yuval Noah Harari's books "Sapiens" and "Homo Deus", if any of that stuff about large scale cooperation & shared beliefs interested you! They obviously contain much more than that; if you want to rehshape your understanding of humanity's history and future, they're a must read :)

[@larvenkarlsson440]

That was really out of place and poorly researched

[@SketchesForHumanity]

@@larvenkarlsson440 Thanks for the honest feedback! I'd be interested in hearing some more details about what you think was poorly formulated?

[@hadriscus]

Yeah it's a fantastic book but I found Homo Deus to be clumsily prospective compared to Sapiens. Shared stories...

[@hikarujamiemasamiya]

4:14 Is he son of Eckhart Tolle

[@MafiaFLairBeatz]

nah this is common sense stuff known by everyone who does not believe in the capitalist religion^^

[@JoshGRAMBO]

WTF Did I just listen too? #LS3D #3DMT

[@whynot-vq2ly]

tbh i like the artwork, but the long philosophical talk just doesn't fit if you ask me why ? then i will tell you : "because one can't listen to something deep or at least "you" consider deep, while he is focusing on something else it's too distracting, and he will get neither of them" it would have been much better if you were explaining the node setup intead of that imo so my advice if you allow me to give you one, keep things separated and you can still do "deep talks" in separate videos or separate sections of the video that one can skip or in moments where focus isn't needed. sometimes you can't be honest and nice at the same time i hope you take this in consideration :].

[@SketchesForHumanity]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I came to the same conclusion, and that's why in my recent videos I've had the philosophical parts as a separate section at the end :)

[@whynot-vq2ly]

@@SketchesForHumanity thanks for the quick reply, best luck to you and no hard feelings :D.

[@larvenkarlsson440]

Quite nice video, if you turn off the sound
