The Plexus animation I Always Wanted to Make (Blender Tutorial)

[@ArchTeryx00]

Xan3D actually was a sleeper hit for me. He's really damn good with geometry nodes, his style of teaching is never condescending and he's taught me a LOT about math nodes and some of the other basics. Been subscribed to him for a while, and it was fantastic you gave him a shout-out in your video!

wake up honey , ducky dropped a new geonode video

[@TheDucky3D]

That’s right!

Xan3D is awesome! love his tutorials!

[@roni.rsnstn]

that little tip about randomizing texture mapping on instanced objects deserves a dedicated video! I cant tell you how many times ive come across that problem, usually i just end up applying random rotations to the instances, but this will be my new fix. appreciate that 🙌

[@kikon78]

I did his tut just as soon as he got it out because I'm allways looking for sacred geometry stuff and then you lovely Duky do this! In love as allways!

[@Loopify3D]

Thank you for building this beautiful animation and showing us how to do it. I think Xan 3D is awesome :D his channel deserves the shout out.

[@oliviernetter4043]

YES BIG UP TO XAN 3D's work for the community, not spectacular but always clear exhaustive and essential, like and support...

[@geertus_3d]

Another amazing tutorial! I am definitely giving this one a try!

[@alandouglasrandall9961]

Newly subscribed and THIS pops up. Wow. If the objects can be connected with hyperlinks the practical possibilities are endless. Thanks for sharing.

[@Orozco_PNW]

This is amazingly clear and concise! I can't wait to try it

[@PrivacyPleaze]

Wonderful and educative work and thank you for adding the final render to the end. A subtle rotation on the balls could be good imo.

A plexus effect has some basic rules, for example: connection/width is determined by distance to nearest neighbor. Connecting every node to every other node is an exponential increase that doesn't scale and makes it feel cluttered. What you need is spatial hashing. Perhaps this node exists in Blender? I rarely use Blender but enjoy watching your vids because a lot of the concepts translate, although the implementation constraints are different over here using Unreal Engine. (My plexus effects aren't as pretty but are rendered in realtime.) Cheers!

Have fun

17 sec ago is diabolical Thx Ducky 3D for the new vid !

thanks mann

Nice keep up

[@thomas7726]

It looks like those trendy lamps or a piece of modern art, haha.

[@MrBranch_2024]

cool

[@chriscoleman6480]

can't seem to get it to animate any thoughts

[@Francois_Le_Blendeur]

I guess it would be easy to delete segments by length, so that spheres only connect under a given distance?

[@alexmattheis]

Amazing. 🤣

[@Thecosmicpacifier]

my blender doesnt have a for each element node, how can i find or add it in?

[@PrivacyPleaze]

i believe its a 4.3 feature, you might need to update

[@Nortic111]

@@PrivacyPleaze Agreed, I only find it in 4.3 too.

[@Thecosmicpacifier]

@ thanks that was it , helped

Can you please do a video on parametric pattern making or weight painted pattern making ? I see car designs with patterns of perforations within the grill or vents that are clearly 3D generated but I cant find any videos on them and I have been looking for months. Imagine an array of many hexagons that go from large to small arranged in such a way that only mathematical arrangement can do. Please help. I need it for a project I'm doing.

[@WeatheredWrld]

The whole video I was thinking of the Foo Fighters album Colour and the shape

[@Zhiznestatistiks]

The constant intersection of what appears to be a bunch of solid objects is very distracting. Not that much in static, but very much in motion. The types of plexus animations where it's a thin graphic line or a beam of light are far more pleasing to the eye. Also plexus line breaks are also important components. They may've been able to save you animation that is if the lines were to break \ vanish before they intersect with large outer spheres. The Entagma channel has an old, but still fairly relevant tutorial on looping plexus animantiions in blender together with line breaks by distance between points.
