simulating all the animation in a scene with geometry nodes in blender

[@hyruleorchestra4339]

This video is an emotional sine function that keeps shifting my feelings from happy (because you're funny) to sad (because I'm too stupid to understand your node tree).

[@harryblends]

There’s a math node for that. But I don’t know how to put it into your emotions. Maybe I’ll work it out in the next video …

[@bitofalice]

I know what's happening in the "simulation" at the start. It's you, on facecam. THAT'S how you manage to create these out-of-this-world amazing videos/techniques. INFINITE TENTACLES. Busted.

[@harryblends]

Oh. Totally busted. Next you’ll work out that the button is how I’m typing this reply…

[@tiagotiagot]

Very clearly this is taking place in one of the alternate reality Aperture Science facilities....

[@andysellers8298]

This is absolutely my kind of thing. Liked and subscribed.

[@harryblends]

Thank you. There's something so satisfying about creating a system like this in Blender. I have another in the pipeline...

[@CharlesDanielCharly]

congrats on your dog learning to talk and good look with the podcast!

[@pedro5822]

your videos are so good it's hard to believe

[@harryblends]

Believe, Pedro. Believe

[@rabiscott8178]

This project is so impressive, can't wait for the follow up video, everything looks so well crafted in the intro. i do truly think you're a blender genius.

[@harryblends]

Thank you! I thought it would be fun to create a project with a variety of different techniques then do a series of separate videos on all of them. Hopefully there’ll be something for everyone

[@rabiscott8178]

I've tried to follow your tutorial as much as I could but it keep failing to work at the introduction of "Curve Circle" any idea why ?

[@harryblends]

What's not working for you? At 5:18 the curve circle is connected to the group I just created. This is done with a new geometry input. You can add this when inside the group with the group panel.

[@TheEmptyHoliness]

How do you do the smooth interface animations like connecting the nodes together? The way they animate is so satisfying. Are you recreating the interface in blender and using curve modifiers perhaps? I struggle to guess!

[@harryblends]

It’s all screen capture in the geometry node editor in blender that I retime and reframe in the edit. It’s kinda “node puppeteering” stitched together with a bunch of editing tricks. It was difficult to perfect but it’s actually relatively straight forward to produce

[@TheEmptyHoliness]

@@harryblends i’m sure a video on that is probably too much to ask but gosh i would love to learn those tricks! Feels like a great use for promotional material for blender market listings. Thanks for the insight! I’ll have to try it out.

[@thunkmelon]

if I learned how to speak like you, I would never not.

[@harryblends]

If you learned to speak like me we could sing duets

[@DrTheRich]

15 years of daily blender and didn't know you can change the clipping of a curve window...

[@harryblends]

Yup. The float curves don’t get much love, that’s for sure. Such a powerful node. They can be really fiddly if you want to get detailed but you can achieve really nice natural results

[@lukayz1363]

right?!!!! blew my mind🤣

[@DarkCornerWithMisha]

Great video, very well explained, i got another inspirational drive to love creating animation ❤ well done

[@harryblends]

Gotta love that inspirational drive!

I watch, like, and comment on this video to increase engagement and appease The Algorithm while the supposedly clever part of my brain is busy exploding from thinking too hard in trying to understand the contents

[@harryblends]

If you appease the algorithm enough KZbin will send you a new brain. This stuff used to baffle me. Geometry nodes especially. Then a couple of the key concepts locked in and it all got so much easier. There’s still elements I don’t fully understand. But with anything like this I think it’s the fear that it must be more complex than it is really that keeps us from getting our heads around it. Embrace the nodes

[@punmije]

bro.... this is what i was desperatly looking for. Holy sh*t mate. You solve the life xd

[@harryblends]

Thanks man. I can solve the life but my wordle streak is embarrassing

[@Mekeee3D]

Good job man. Every video is better than before. 🥰❤

[@harryblends]

grill spin one of my favorites

[@harryblends]

Extra good with some peri peri sauce

[@1k.studio.official]

Aye 😊 I am watching, keep watching i do watching watching watching with the hope one day I will spin it😂

[@harryblends]

Everyone spins in the end. All you have to do is keep watching.

Our dog just learned to talk as well! We've been teaching her to use those AAC based buttons for dogs. Unfortunately her aspirations aren't quite as lofty as your dog's new podcast. Whenever I'm in the kitchen she relentlessly demands Scooby Snacks. It doesn't matter how many I give her, she never seems to have her fill. We're not quite sure if the buttons helped us reveal our furry friend's hidden addiction, or if we created the addiction while teaching her to use them. 🤦

[@oodoodoopoopoo]

Oh, also: your videos and projects just keep getting better. I'm freaking loving it.

[@oodoodoopoopoo]

I like the approach of including "Daphne du Maurier" and "titular barnyard" attributes 👍 ...but you forgot to label the Rebecca Birds and Otis Oedekerk socket. Otherwise, top notch innovative nodeling.

[@harryblends]

Ha. I was thinking what the most unlikely names for sockets were and … those were the two!

[@harryblends]

Thank you! Think I’m getting into my groove now
