Great to see someone practically watching this series. That motivates for more episodes... Thank you for the big big honor of being in your video! Also great video for motivating people to take the first steps of learning geometry nodes. (I'm working on my accent but it's bad I know xD)

[@mozzanth]

Your geometry nodes tutorials are awesome man, keep doing them!

[@oddlyspecificmath]

I'm a native English speaker watching your "Every node..." vid and your accent is _fine_ . Anecdotally (so, unscientifically) I think interesting differences can help people latch on to _active_ listening anyway; after the intro I forgot I was supposed to be noticing: I just naturally engaged with your _content_ and that's a win in my book.

[@naenjamal4827]

For 50 year old man, Im totally LOST in BLENDER NODES! I have no idea what is it all about, hope I can learn something from this...

[@dad7702]

The most underappreciated channel on KZbin.

[@jstn_qc]

I mean....true

[@piyush0051]

Guy's recommend and share this channel to your friends

[@bassdass]

In my experience, click by click tutorials are the best because they lower the bar for getting started, and getting started is the most important step. Your brain will almost unconsciously connect the dots by doing the action, so don't obsess about understanding every single step of the process.

[@lucasblaise]

1:51 - The best case for watching tutorials (and not getting stuck in them). Very good points.

[@wydua2049]

1:50 if you follow tutorials long enough you just rembember how to do certain things almost without thinking like slapping on color ramp whenever you want to controll some properties of whatever in shading or you just can recreate part of tutorial 1:1 from memory and then combine it with something else or even do a complete experiment around it to create something also with enough tutorials if you forget something you remember where to find an answer

[@eclecticgamer5144]

I started learning GeoNodes back in 3.0. After 6 months, I had a 5000+ node group that generated a fully procedural humanoid model from scratch. ^_^ It's insanely powerful. Everything that exists can be represent in just a handful of node groups. (Technically, a single node group could be able to turn into anything that exists... and a ton of stuff that doesn't)

[@MJsweers]

Is this you or the humanode reacting?

[@mr_drache]

Ok. Huma-node is probably the best thing I will hear this year... And it just started!

[@mr_drache]

Holy. Poop. You can create a humanoid?!?

[@unicornhuntercg]

Damnnnn....how many minutes do you have to wait to see the changes happen after you edit something ?

[@sa1fjaved]

Can you recommend any course or yt channels you learned from. I started learning in January and only understand basic nodes right now(like i still dont understand how position node and all the other pink nodes work) . I want to speed up the process of learning so anything will be helpful.

[@stephenhargreaves9011]

I'm still living under that rock. Maybe one day I'll get around to geometry nodes, but for now, traditional techniques suit me.

[@akumax3506]

I definitely feel what you mean there ! I've been messing around with blender for 7 years and yep.. Never wanted to get myself into geo nodes because.. It was new.. But your video here motivates me a lot, I have to take the step ! Also your videos are very well made and enjoyable to watch, keep up the good work german boi

[@3DKLUB]

Thanks, will deff check these channels out! Lately I've been trying to combine my 3D scans with some geometry node magic..

[@WW_Studios]

I really like your style of editing! Nice work!!

[@TheDucky3D]

What a great video man!

[@LenzGraphics]

Thank you so much!

[@AvenuNM]

You're the man, I've been trying to think of the most efficient way to approach geometry nodes, thank you!

[@travissmith7471]

The first time I saw someone on a KZbin video using Geometry Node... I was mystified... And when I saw Principled BSDF in Shader Editor... I just wanted to know more about the two... Thanks for sharing your experience...

[@hanslohm7987]

Thanks a lot for sharing this and explaining so well!

[@CalvinJohnDev]

Welcome back Lenz keep safe💖 I love your videos

[@lazycreator7794]

Geo nodes are the most terrifying thing for me, i start sweating even if i mistakely opened the geo node tab. But this changed it, thanks for helping 😍✌

[@heckensteiner4713]

That waffle looked great! I'm afraid of commitment so non-destructive modelling is a game changer for me. Next, can you please make a 30 hour 100 part tutorial on how to model a donut!?

[@Cyber_Kriss]

"no pun intended"... 😂Gee I can't stand the "donut guy", see whatamean ?

[@ZombieHoards]

"The Waffle House Has Found Its New Host"

[@dudleybarker2273]

so basically Ducky 3D, Default Cube and HEY Pictures - cool

[@MCS299]

Hours of working resumed in 5min Nice Love ur vids!!!

[@apatsa_basiteni]

Immediately subscribed after seeing that dracaena plant behind you lol. Amazing content, will obviously watch all your videos by end of the day..

[@redmanorsbaron]

"Wait thats me!" was so sudden I almost choked on my yoghurt xD

[@SourceAwareness]

Very Excellent, many thanks, my Brother!! :) Just subscribed. Best Wishes

[@simonw.1223]

I need to learn this too. As today I did some material simulstikn of rigid bodies etc. What I wanna learn more modeling, rigging, animation, geometry nides

[@bubonicmccc2684]

Hearing Mike with the "day 1 hour 0" tripped me out for a second!

[@masonleblanc6726]

This makes so excited to keep learning blender( once I get the money to get a cpu :(

[@bUildYT]

"He sounds even more german than I do" hahahhahaha fühl ich ;)

[@caspar3335]

keep on going i love your videos :D

[@3DBanditTutorials]

"not the only one who has been putting it off" hey c'mon, don't call me out like that

[@kutson.blendyt]

Geometry nodes scares me so much ! 😅 But I know I must learn them because I like simulations and it comes in following Blender patches

[@Miatpi]

Yup. Now I'm inspired. Thanks!

[@copperrose]

I am so terrified of geometry nodes, but I was scared of the normal shader nodes in the beginning as well so perhaps I should just dive in it too. :)

[@pilotdawn1661]

Absolutely Excellent video.

[@iiSnely]

i wish our doctors explain like him

[@gamheroes]

Hi! Your video encouraged me to try GN, but I have to know before spending time: these procedural meshes can be baked into a final mesh? I ask cause I create video games and I want to know if I can keep these shapes in the game engine when exporting them. Also, can geometry nodes or nodes, in general, be saved as objects in the Asset Browser?

[@Entikai]

Good news, yes they can.

[@axavizara_]

The best tutorial today 🙏💯💯💯

[@nicolacornolti]

Almost TWO YEARS?!

[@lewis44]

Appreciate your efforts to share us amazing 3D modulation tools 🔥🫂

[@Forklift_Certified69]

Next, video: procedural COC. village 🐐🐐🐐 Hello from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@stefanguiton]

Excellent video

[@LenzGraphics]

Thank you!

[@tillko1736]

Best day of my live

[@Xubin007]

I love your videos

[@weeliano]

I love your German accent! Great video!

[@blespace]

You leaned it in 3 days? Wow

[@Zyyy--]

Keep going ❤️

[@musicandhappinessbyjo795]

Did you shoot your video in 12fps. Apart from that I think this channel is under rated. Subscribed.

[@LenzGraphics]

Adobe Media Encoder had a bad day :|

[@Rai2M]

Extremely powerful, BUT i love programming/scripting things )

[@carlsonbench1827]

tutorials should show everything. assume the audience has zero knowledge. That way the video will help many more people.

[@andyo5220]

Geometry nodes make my head hurt.

[@one23neo]

I have tried following Ducky 3D tutorials & I find that my PC crashes whenever I get to the part where I have to implement the bump node... I probably have 10 abandoned projects that I stopped when I heard the word bump. The last Bane of my geometry node journey was the noise texture node. Sadly I cannot upgrade my Mac PC (I use a macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6) specs cause I bought it at an auction with my savings hoping it'd be sufficient for the projects I want to do. It'd be nice to find a tutorial focused on helping people with low end spec PCs

[@axeslinger94]

If you have a lower end PC you're working with, you've gotta keep in mind to lower some of the settings for what works for you. It's what I have to do, and I did end up buying a new RAM part to help me with this and with better gaming in general, but it was a $50 part after tax, not a $1k+ RTX like what a lot of Blendertubers have. Balance internal geometry vertices with external/visual surface smoothness (fluidity of motion for animations) and you will be able to better recreate what they make or you can crank it up high and make peace with the render times and rendering in batches then stitching it together in other editing programs. I honestly recreate a lot of these tutorials with the settings as low as possible while still keeping the lowest quality integrity threshold because I know I'm just doing this as a hobby for now, and I'm not willing to wait that long and go through repeated crashes so just adjust to what works for you! Also, try rendering while you're sleeping for the night to avoid boredom and tying up your system with active waiting. That's helped me a lot, too, and it's a tie-over from waiting on big game installs to finish on Steam over the years haha

[@GaryParris]

congratulations :)

[@IstiakAhmed_UE5_VR-Dev]

Can i get/learn the building geometry node from blender conference?

[@reaganlpeterson]

I want to know what the thumbnail node setup does. It looks scary

[@mauree1618]

Nodes in general can get so confusing.

[@simonw.1223]

3:41 What? Like what?

[@dougieladd]

I still haven't used Geometry Nodes.

[@danabu-reish8743]

Thank you for your existence

[@stanleythrewbrick]

same but behind about a month

[@lowrax]

Stark

[@sukhosama]

2:12 this

[@DoingHawaii]

🤙

[@jeffg4686]

@0:13 - WTF - is that a real node setup? I hope not

[@LenzGraphics]

It’s not haha

[@DoryRail]

Thanks.

[@Mine_P_Panda]

And then I made a cactus

[@darrenberkey7017]

2 days?!? I've been studying geo nodes for more than 6 months... and I still don't understand them well enough to actually create something. I follow tutorials, but I'm just copying someone else's work and I still have NO CLUE how to use geo nodes to create something on my own.

[@mikaangeli5765]

WHAT? GeoNodes are 2 years old????

[@bababonzio]

_and then I made a cactus_

[@004307ec]

I thought that the most powerful one is python scripting before I watch the content.😂 I just cannot accept the mess of nodes.

[@PeterRichardsandYoureNot]

Not putting every mouse click and then the page is suddenly different from what you are looking at is beyond frustrating. It’s not learning….it’s just a lesson in patience, and that’s not what I use tutorials for. The tuts are for reference and if the reference isn’t there, it’s a waste of time.

[@simonw.1223]

3:11 and I bet I sound evrn more german than you two.

[@Tomspider]

IND ❤️❤️❤️

[@teabagNBG]

u dont sound german at all :D

you should credit @defaultcube and @cgmatter...

[@LenzGraphics]

Why?
