awesome mate , what a cool intro

[@KaizenTutorials]

Very well made intro! You obviously put in a lot of effort in your videos. Good job 👍🏻

[@CatalinPascaru]

I paused to appreciate the intro and the smooth syncing with the song. Great job on that presentation! :D

Thats a real good way to explain the math behind and how to set it up with nodes. Thank you!

[@stefanguiton]

Great in depth tutorial, love the intro

[@squeegel3904]

I can see why everyone thinks this is such gold, you explain everything not only with words but visual representations and explain what the attributes can contain etc. This is 100% going to be shared to anyone wanting to know more about geonodes.

[@squeegel3904]

Sidenote: I am making a gingerbread world, so the focus being on candy was just.. Icing on the cake.

Can you share this world with me on Instagram once ready?

[@squeegel3904]

@@BadNormals will do! I have plans to make it into something a bit more than a render though..

[@squeegel3904]

Apparently I have been working on this for too long today. But only due to making progress! I made my own assets for simplifying using the shaders etc. I love blender as its the software I have used since 2.49b and how its free just blows me away.

Appreciate the in-depth explanation (even though I don't even use Blender). Also, you could put that intro alone into a really satisfying KZbin Shorts as a teaser for this full video.

How to do this in 3.0? please I need help. Thank you. Edit: To be specific, I got stuck on Attribute Vector Math, I able to solve the connection of Vectors to Geometry and also on the Multiplying but now I'm stuck somewhere at 17:00, I don't know how to work on the angles, I tried to use Vector Rotate but its function is different from the video so I don't know how to use it.

[@sazaam]

hi! love your kind style and somehow funny humourous phases as well.. very welcomed content on yt! instead of truncate changing float to integer in the node will both simplify the setting and cast out decimals in the exposed slider up front. great example and have a nice day!! u make people wanna learn estonian!

[@BadNormals]

Thanks for the tip, I had been ignoring that integer option until now. I believe learning Estonian is harder than all the math combined 😁

[@AA-hg7xq]

Very nice. Thank you. The thought process is very helpful.

[@mallickpriyanshuOG]

To remember the sin, cos and tan function you can try to remember this phrase. "Some people have curly Brown hairs, turned permanent Black." "Some People Have" for Sin = Perpendicular (y) / Base [x] "Curly Brown Hair" for Cos = Base (x) / hypotenuse (h) "Turned Permanently Black" for Tan = Perpendicular (x) / Base (y)

@@さんハリネズミ I just reopened the file in Blender 3.1 and is still working, one thing I did was to "grid fill" the cylinder before applying the subdivision (used 4 as levels), as far as the geometry nodes, they're all still valid.

For contrast, instead of power (which isn't "contrast" - doesn't create an S-curve), try map range node or lookup the math behind fBias and fGain (fGain uses fBias) and create group nodes for those. The reason they are great compared to curves and ramp are they can be controlled with inputs.

8:02 how did you toggle through all the node connections with your keyboard , i only know how to drag connect into node .

Use the position node and separate it with just a separate XYZ

[@tomaszsyrek3728]

In the fitst candy you could have used a gradient texture set to "radial" Edit: and instead of enabling "affect only: origins" you could have just right clicked and choose "origin to 3d cursor"

[@BadNormals]

Yes, true, the radial texture works very well in shaders but since there is no texture like that in geometry nodes, I thought it would be simpler to create it from scratch already in shaders.

Hallo author: first of all, your watch?v=O9qqWfxxoCM is worth a compliment! But this 'old' Blenderuser but beginner of Geometry Nodes (and using Blender 3 alpha on W10) has a number of suggestions: First of all there should be text (eventually what I write now) The tutorial has (to my opinion) 4 parts: 1. Introduction followed by creating a suitable object for candy's ) 2. shader-mode to explain the swirly upper part of a candy (nice done with your annotations used) 3. in geometry mode creation of a (basic) candy ( using part 2!) 4. finishing touch BUT as a beginner a lot of puzzles are not explained (at least for Blender 3 alpha) Example: you attach the input to two GM nodes where numbers are used to change easily the appearance of the candy , how to change the outputnames of the input node, in you tut they are suddenly (nicely) named Number and Curliness in blender 3 alpha I found out that this can (must?) be done by using the properties panel to be pulled out and using Group (with the input node active) where the TWO B's can be changed (e.g. your suggestion).

[@BadNormals]

It's possible. I cannot give you a full guide but the math works essentially the same way and when I write something in the position attribute, use the set position node instead. You can separate the position into XYZ using the position node and separate XYZ node. Hopefully I helped.

[@lazyng6631]

I had a maths lesson, ha ha

[@nigellill3222]

Great tutorial, appreciate the method to get the result. I get the impression that the Blender Gods have developed geometry nodes to give mathematicians a hobby in life. It's a bit like saying to Einstein "look you can make pretty pictures using mathematics". I have yet to see a case where geometry nodes produce something that couldn't be done pre geo nodes. Iv'e watched Blender masters create incredible sculpting or shading, even abstract art without the use of geo nodes. These artists within the blender fraternity create incredible 3d graphics with modifiers, their skill, imagination & their heart, & then there are mathematicians who produce pretty pictures with numbers, algebra & trigonometry & think they're graphic artists.

[@BadNormals]

Do you believe artists using maths aren't "real" artists?

[@nigellill3222]

@@BadNormals I think it's like a driver preferring a automatic over a manual. Both drivers can get their cars from A to B but only one is actually "driving" their vehicle. When you're using math, equations & numbers there's a certain satisfaction knowing you got the math right instead of being satisfied your experience checked out. Math really has nothing to do with being a graphic artist, if it did man would never hold a paint brush again. He would simply attach the brush to a CNC & get the math to reproduce a Picasso or Rembrandt. If you want to produce an animated film fine, use all the bells & whistles, if you're producing a product advertising render or a concept of product render then let the human creative touch do the work. Surprisingly, my job is to produce 3d renders of high end cakes for weddings, birthdays etc. I'm employed by several chef's to meet with their client & record what they want for their cake. I then produce a render which I provide to the chef for his/her approval before the client see's it. They are tough on my renders, it can't be so perfect that they can't replicate it & yet it can't be so bad that the client won't accept it. I've tried geo nodes to produce my renders but in my case the "human touch" is what's needed. When a client is spending $10,000.000 - $15,000.00 for their wedding cake the drawing has to look like a human has just put the icing on it & not like it's just come out of a 3d printer.

[@pinanwicaksono]

Not every people can make something from zero with math, don't see the result man. Look at the process when this guy found the answer with math which is geometry nodes, the process itself is an art and the result is even more.

[@nigellill3222]

@@pinanwicaksono I'm hearing you Pinan & I agree, the process & result is a wonderful thing, it is art. All i'm saying is before geo nodes the human touch of modelling was real, except for a few modifiers you had to model objects yourself. With geo nodes you just fill in boxes with numbers & it's done, where's the skill in modelling in doing that ? The skill of modelling is replaced by being good at math.

A squared and B squared should give hypotenuse squared, no?

[@gor.]

I do not understand why you do not know "h" and why you know "x".

[@BadNormals]

Thanks for pointing that out actually. We can get the length of H from the objects vector length operation and multiplying the resulting gradient with zero on the Z axis so that the cylinder length doesn't matter. We know the X and Y from separating the objects coordinates into three different axises. I sure don't know their exact length, but blender does and these gradients together allow sin and cos operations.
