07:40 ctrl+shift+D to duplicate the node keeping it connected (in case somebody need it)

[@mbk5043]

With the node wrangler addon you can import all your material by clicking Ctrl+Shift+T, and select all your files. You don’t have to duplicate the image texture node etc. It will do all the work for you :)

didnt work for me, i was trying to use material from previous prj but it didnt load anything, i wonder what did i do wrong(

[@Astrobers]

UPD: u cant do this with your material (procedural) it has to be png format for addon to recognize)

[@mbk5043]

@@Astrobers yes I think it’s only for images packed materials, it will recognize the key words like « roughness » etc. If you want to re use materials from another project just drag and drop your project into your blender file, click append, then go to the material folder, and search for the material you want!

I love how mine turned out, was excited to make this. Thanks

[@boop3260]

just completed this - looks super cool :) thanks for the great tutorial, was really easy to follow and learnt a few new things from it. Looking forward to more!

[@tripplys5052]

i asked something but nevermind! :)

[@ChaosFross]

At 3:10, if the subdivision makes your mesh invisible, I went into (edit - preferences - viewport tab - then subdivision tab, and uncheck GPU subdivision-), hope that helps someone :)

[@sporeforce]

Thank you so much. Just the comment I was hoping for.

Hero, this is literally why I went browsing in the comments section, thank you!!

[@jaedilopez3315]

just finished the tutorial i gotta say it gets easier to understand the more i do it thanks for the vids

[@azynkron]

When using PBRs, I can recommend switching on the experimental Cycle and use adaptive subdivision.

what does it do?

[@rohith1099]

Thanks for your hard work and helping us with tutorials

[@Fraend]

what can i use instead of "dual mesh"???

[@palpytine]

Yay! We're getting a preview of the expected result at the start of the video - 1000 thanks

[@feelipeson]

Great Tutorial! Just a tip for organization, you can create a Node group when you Join the geometry and create two different icospheres geo node groups

[@Pulse2AM]

For me I have to put a keyframe in at frame 1 first "then" at fram 250 for it the animation to work. I don't think you mentioned that.

[@rfsatrio8637]

Man, this isa gem, keep up a good work!

[@DarcySparkles1]

I kept finding my MAC crashing in cycles with GPU but switched to CPU and working fine now. I did a test render in Eveee and found a blob hovering over the sphere on its own so it has a life of its own! Learnt a lot from this tutorial and finding I’m getting more familiar with Geometry Nodes which makes things much easier to setup and build scenes with.

[@julesdeboon8726]

Lovely tutorial! Very good to follow and clear instructions. But sometimes its quiet hard to understand why certain choices are made or what they do exactly. Besides that, quality work, looking forward to the next one!

[@officialtionesco]

This was the first Blender I made and it was so much fun, it took me a bit longer than you, but it was so much fun and it was super easy with your video! Thank you.

[@aaronlawlor6529]

[@UnderscytheJS]

I found a little workaround if the displacement node isn't working or doesn't show the bump+displacement at the material menu. You just use the displace modifier on the ground object and put the texture in there, it must be scaled/repeated as well to be of the same size of the ones you're using on the texture coordinates node, and for the small detail I used the normal texture node with it's matching file. I hope this might help if you're having this issue.

[@estefaniaramirez2006]

Nice tutorial, but what if I want to do the geo node with my own mesh? For example with an avatar. It works for me but when I try to transform as you did (3:33) and the whole object rotates instead of just the surface :/

[@RenderEngine]

As always man.. brilliant with lots of additional tips in there for other projects

wow, cool work!

[@aharanr]

This was amazing snappy but explanatory instant sub

[@JonathanTheKingly]

Awesome tut as usual

[@W0rldCitizen]

Great Job! I very much enjoyed the tutorial! I haven't ever used Geometry Nodes. I honestly can't believe how long it took to render this animation at 300 samples so I assume that's because I use geometry nodes and something I'd never used before "Volume".

[@MatichekYoutube]

Sheesh, nice one - will be doing it today.

[@ashishjumade4882]

Hi,Thank you for this tutorial. But my rendering result showing white screen. I tried to fix this issue by various options noting working ,hope you can help somehow.

You don't have to right click to insert a keyframe you can just press i while hovering over it with your mouse

@@serebrennikof 3.1.2 does not do the trick... But thanks for suggesting

[@KIFDRAKON]

Good day. As always, a great lesson, just fire. But there is one question. How to make an animation of the manifestation of spheres by the number of elements. A simple twitching of the sliders did not help (((That is, there is a sphere at the beginning of the animation and by the end it loses segments and dissolves or vice versa increases. The effect will be interesting. It remains, a little, to tie it to this lesson.))

[@sanhogyu8748]

Thank you for the amazing tutorial. This is alot.

[@junky151]

Why are my materials not rotating as well? The material keeps the same position, but the objects are moving. How can I change this? :)

hello, when lowering distance in depth of field in 16.12 min. it blurred the whole thing with the ball and not only this thing that is around the ball like it shows in your video. Any thought why is it might be doing that? Thanks!

[@gmilka4283]

What is the difference between separate geomtry and delete geometry ?

[@Llorenmillerr]

It seems like I may be the only one with this problem, but for the gradient background when I set the Gradient Texture to pass through the ColorRamp and switch to B-Spline, the gradient is really harsh and does not react as in the video. Blender version 3.3.0, 1/31/23.

hey, first, thank you a lot for putting time in makng thoses incredible and well detailled tutorial keep up the good work. I did this tutorial yesterday, sent the render and this morning the render was finished and the file was a video all black just a black screen.... so frustrating, because the sphere is good the animation too everything was fine so I don't get my mistake why I don't see anythingon the render... if you have an idea of where my mistake was....

[@RaduButarascu]

Great tutorial, thank you for making it! One question: during the end animation, it looks like the texture of the two rotating objects stays in place while the objects themselves are rotating. So, the visual effect is the texture flowing along the surface as it is rotating. Am I right or my eyes are deceiving me?

[@elijahthomas7460]

when it comes to the displacement and bump part the displacement doesnt happen. any idea? thank you

[@cobaltbluesky2276]

Displacement only works in cycles engine and it won’t work in the material view so you can only see it in the rendered view using cycles

[@elijahthomas7460]

yeah im lost right now i redid the nodes too, to make sure i didnt miss any inputs that.

[@neilmarshall5087]

In Cycles Materials scroll down to a Tab called Settings. Expand Surface and change Displacement from Bump Only to either of the Displacement options. You may have found this out after 3 days - I am putting this here for others that get stuck.

[@ExoSaint]

I ran into the same issue as you, changing the Displacement to "Displacement and Bump" and making sure that it's set to Cycles (preview and render) has not solved the issue for me sadly. Tried several materials just to make sure and remade the nodes 3 times lol.

Hello! Thanks for an easy tutorial! Just have a question about Render, my animation is still rendering and it's been 18 hours already, is it normal? I read that in Blender you can't see estimated time for the whole animation, so I don't know how much time left and worrying if every animation takes that long or it's about my laptop/settings?

[@yann6997]

Hi, I'm a beginner so I don't have much advice, but I have had the same problem for a while too. In general (Including me) it is because of the computer having low RAM as well as a not so good GPU. However, optimizing the light path settings might helped me a bit such as reducing light bounces. I'm also expecting about 18 hours of rendering but I hope it helps :)

[@nikamaruxx]

Yep, bad settings. But im Blender beginner a well so i cant help much, but this animation shouldnt render much than 2hours for sure!

​@@nikamaruxx I actually miscalculated the rendering time and its actually going to take about 60-70 hours lol. It's just that I have a 2011 computer so...
