Light with Geometry Nodes? - Digital Effect in Blender

[@PointCloud]

What's your opinion on a longer, more complex video like this? Too much or still good?

[@ukruxalt.3266]

good video man! would love to see a bit smaller version if possible!

[@PointCloud]

Yeah, I thought about that. I just wanted to try a longer video with a more complex topic where I have more time to explain things.

[@vstreet7583]

Some techniques demand a longer explanation. Hence, both long and short are good. All your tutorials are very much appreciated. Thank you so much for taking time to share your knowledge. THANK YOU! Dg

Thanks for the help!

[@PointCloud]

Wow, thank you very much! Really appreciated

[@kromide3d]

Dear Tommy. You are a genius :) Thank you so much for your time and effort making tutorials for blender noobs like me. I really appreciate it.

[@PointCloud]

Thank you very much. Once upon a time I was a Blender noob myself :D, so just keep learning and stay motivated.

[@MattVarner]

These are the coolest videos

[@PointCloud]

Thank you!

[@namdhis]

Very impressived! Please make more vfx tutorials like geometry node lightning or something like that! Thanks!

[@PointCloud]

Thanks :)

[@vstreet7583]

Another great technique, explanation and tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and ideas. THANK YOU! Dg

[@PointCloud]

Thanks :D

[@salvatoros]

Thank you man. How do you gather so much knowledge? Congrats

[@PointCloud]

Thank you. Well I just used Blender a lot in the past and studied CGI, so I'm a bit experienced with generative modeling. It won't harm too if you are interested in math and experiments with calculations :D

I really want to make pixel animation, but I dont know how to pixillate my brush in blender 2d animation grease pencil :( . Could you please help?

[@PointCloud]

If you want it only on the grease pencil in 2D, there is an effect which does just that. When you select the Grease Pencil object, go to the Visual Effects properties (beneath the modifier wrench), then choose the "Pixelate" effect. Maybe thats just enough for you.

[@eggstravagent3801]

@@PointCloud ah I see, I will try that thanks !

[@Revenant-Dan.s]

Can you swap the digits for png? So that instead of a 1,4 or 8, a png could be displayed instead?

[@PointCloud]

Sure, its just a Position for an instance of wish.

[@Revenant-Dan.s]

Would i replace the String to Curves node? @@PointCloud

[@PointCloud]

Yes, you just replace that node with a plane with an image texture for example. Then you can have images on certain brightness values of the model.@@Revenant-Dan.s

[@bplus2351]

@@PointCloud would love if you made a video about how to do this. Am trying to figure this out now and am getting confused. For example what do you mean by " Position for an instance of wish"? As well how do you convert the image plane to a mesh to be instanced like the ico sphere? Great videos btw.

[@PointCloud]

An instance of wish can be anything, any object: digits, letters, objects, images curves, ..., everything. An instance is just a copy of something basically

[@ahiro7639]

Why don't I have any nodes for the lights or why is it not possible to put them in nodes?

[@PointCloud]

Because you have to calculate it yourself (like I show in the video).
