Lego anything with this NEW Blender geometry nodes feature

[@JoeyCarlino]

Edit: In Blender 4.0 the mesh to volume node doesn't have the interior/exterior bandwidth options. I don't have an immediate replacement, but this still works without those options. I said something wrong in this! Location from the Object Info node is the global location, so it will only work the same as the Object Texture Coordinate if your object's origin point is 0,0,0. You can do this by Applying All Transforms with Ctrl A. Hopefully this makes sense

[@crumblebee6728]

Sorry also, that bevel bit?? Hit CtrlB, sure done that before, C just makes it all freak out - what did you actually mean, you kinda skip over it - which faces exactly? Edit: oh shiiiiit the line faces not the faces faces 👍

Geometry nodes are my favorite addition to Blender. There's just so much incredible stuff you can do with them. They make all kinds of tasks easier, just so long as you can work out how to use the nodes.

[@dreamsprayanimation]

It’s all to your advantage.

And now you can use them to pose/animate hair (3.5) and do dynamical simulations (3.6).

[@owngamingmocscreations5295]

A very good and clear tutorial! I did something like this in Houdini, but now it feels that Blender is also getting there.

[@pewter_wiz]

A great addition to this would be to get a list of the most common official lego block colours, and index the UVMap colours to the closest one! That should cut down on a lot of the colour variance that you wouldn't normally have in a lego set

[@paindavoine_design]

You can do it with Photoshop as a workaround

[@Into_Ingrid]

This is an amazing tutorial. I wonder how hard it would be to make different sized LEGO pieces? Like 1x2s and 4x2s Like, if there is a way to make the pattern look like it's somewhat interconnected for structural and stability instead of 1x1s just floating in the air on some parts.

[@GBM6988]

Actually it's not too hard if you watch Blender Guru Donut tutorial he explains how to make different sprinkle sizes using geometry nodes. It's just a matter of making 1x2's and 4x2 then using a random value node there's more to it than that but yes it's possible.

[@OrbitalCookie]

@@GBM6988 But in this case it's not a sprinkle, they have to fit together like tetris, and that caused problems even on a donut

[@Into_Ingrid]

@@OrbitalCookie They might be onto something tho. Cubes in a system should be a whole lot easier to align than random sprinkles in all shapes and sizes. It definitely feels possible, but who will be the brave soul to figure it out.

[@OrbitalCookie]

@@Into_Ingrid You would need each brick to independently decide what connections to make with other bricks. This could be faked by using deterministic noise (perlin/simplex ir similar noise). Noise could be sourced from texture. Not sure how to do this in Blender. This would not make ideal bricks, but at least it would look like there are random bricks used to make a model.

[@stevenrockwell8256]

As someone who tried once to figure out blender for a school project one night, this blows me away

[@superdupertrooper970]

When selecting the verical edges at 2:50, Select two of them, turn on “face stepping” under “pick shortest path” at the bottom left, finish selecting the verticals and then bevel.

This is beautiful. Thank you! very well explained! Excellent. I see a storm of lego objects rendered in blender coming... I tried a small variation: I created a "Lego ABS plastic" material with the glossiness SSS and all, and mapped the color to vertex color instead of a texture. In GN i used this material instead of the original obj material. This way I don't have to modify the material and set it up for each object. Then I can use the "bake texture to vertex colors" feature or set them manually :-)

Super cool stuff. Just want to note tho that the primary value of modern lego isn't in a voxelized blocky representation of a thing as you'd get using 1 x 1 studs (or whatever interlocking equivalent ). The upsell is from all the extra parts and shapes that help to provide more structure and polish to the appearance of the finished model, while still retaining *some* of the voxelized lego charm of the studs.
