Thanks to you and Joe. This is a simple way to loop the nodes. Worked for me.

[@gerdsfargen6687]

That was crazy. Was pleased..I managed to get something resembling your final masterpiece, replicated! What an experience 😃

[@user-lz9cn2cl1f]

Honestly, you are the best teacher in 3d on KZbin. The way you not just finished on modeling but kept going and even showed lighting and rendering process really made me respect you even more. Thank you for such outstanding tutorials. You are the one who makes this Blender Community to strive and evolve.

Just after this tutorial, I think I can say that geo nodes probably have the best “ease of setup : amazing render” ratio of all the systems in Blender.

[@sonderbuilds]

You show what you promised. Then you take it to the next level. Thank you so much!

Thank you for putting this together, def continuing to learn a lot from you and owe a TON

[@martinvanmourik2250]

Another way to loop a noise texture is to keep it on 3D, but plug in the position node to the vector input. Add to this position the position of an empty axis, and use "follow path" on that empty to a bezier circle. Then animating the empty from 0 to 100 loops it. Play with the size of the bezier circle to adjust how erratically the noise changes.

[@koudkunstje]

whahah you said but plug

[@glittalogik]

THANK YOU. I tried doing this as described in the tutorial and it wasn't looping properly at all, but your method worked perfectly. Such a neat little trick, I can already see how versatile this would be as an input for all sorts of cool stuff!

[@glittalogik]

Goddammit, so I tried this method but it gets a weird sigmoid/sine rhythm to the noise, kinda cool but not what I was after. FINALLY checked out Joey Carlino's vid and realised I hadn't ramped the MixRGB factor. Loop fixed 😁

[@sethjensen4179]

I see that this is an older video, so perhaps I'm just a little late to the game, but I wanted to mention that using the scene time as a procedural driver means that you can conveniently set and change your loop point with a single input. You can also control the animation speed with a single input as well. Also, splitting the inner cube structure into another node tree means you can't have all of your parameters available in one location. Just my $.02

[@user-pm5tm5mz2n]

I'm not an animator but I've been wondering what the boxes with the lines connecting them are for SO LONG, now I know they're nodes. I will do nothing with this information, but I am glad to finally have it.

how are you teaching yourself about geo nodes? i feel like i cant even grasp the concept. I've been following your tutorials and when i try to branch off and make my own project i get no where and frustrated very quickly. :( i'm also not very smart, nobody seems to believe me tho lol

[@looksee8192]

@@jimmyjoe1591 im dumber than you think lol you started off with conceptually and im like bruh big words

[@neyshkaslkeraxepithelium7265]

@LookSee my best advice is to work on your own projects and as you come across things you dont know learn the associated technique or skill to make that project happen. It could be any kind of project. abstract even. Once u acquire a new problem and ur unsure how to solve it, search online ur problem. try not to be too wordy. you might even learn a bonus or bonuses. i personally only enjoy tutorials when i understand them and my goals align similiarly with what the tutorial will most likely show ne. Example I want to make a hover tank. hovering is important. how can i do that? Online theres a tutorial about hover cars or simply a ufo floating. Then i watch, learn and guage if it worth the time and effort to acheive my goal. If u do ur own thing, i think youll be motivated even more to learn and it may become much easier to understand stuff in blender in opposed to just doing a tutorial for just doing a tutorials sake. im not 100% here to watch Ducky make this abstract object but i am here to get an idea of how to seamlesly animate scales and such in geometry nodes. I hope this long ass answer helped u in some way.

The fact that you can export these as alembic to Unreal Engine, is insane. Obviously you need to sort out your materials, but the geometry movement is usable.

the scale will be 1/the resolution so if i have a cube with a resolution of 10 (10x10x10 cube of cubes), the scale for each cube should be 0.1 as shown in the tutorial here

[@OpticEngineering]

you think theres any way to randomize texture coordinates within the geo nodes? or maybe in the regular shader editor. Amazing tutorial though! Thanks for shariing! 🙌🙌

[@woritsez]

cheers, bud. saw pak post a similar looping animation on twitter ages ago, [probably used houdini] i did wonder how it could be done in blender.

[@kj3d812]

@Ducky 3D, is there a specific reason for setting the interpolation via Preferences? I've always just used T (hovering over the timeline) to change the interpolation. Is it because interpolation works differently in Geometry Nodes?

[@gordonbrinkmann]

Nice one. Actually, if you are lazy and want to change the speed of the W value, it's not necessary to change it on both noise textures. Since you always start and end on 0, there's no reason for using the same value in positive and negative like 10/-10 or 5/-5, you can get away with changing just one of those values.

[@thephilosopher7173]

Thanks for this tutorial. Honestly to those who've just started using Blender, it seems like we all started learning at the perfect time. Geo-nodes are so new that ppl are still playing around and figuring things out. So its fun to know that you may also discover something if you persist!

[@tchristen]

Impressive!!!! Is it aso posssible to remove the 'inner cube' so after the 'outer cubes' pulsated, shrank and finally disappeared it realeaved an empty space inside?

[@mrdgn2340]

[@Leonlebt]

Great Tutorial it looks so good! but is there any way to bake the animation and export this in gltf?

[@Severely_Distracted]

Great tutorial! I wish you would have showed us how you made the rotation part of the animation

[@patakk8145]

what is the issue with rotation? you just keyframe it and adjust the speeds in graph editor

[@Victorloyt]

you can check out blender guru's 3.0 donut part 11; it does a great job talking about the basics of animation

[@Severely_Distracted]

@@Victorloyt Thank you, I've been putting that video off because I just did his old donut tutorial but I guess I need to check it out now

[@multimicah]

if you also parent an empty to both of the planes, you can keyframe a rotation :) (to get started) and then what patakk mentions just adjust the speed

[@Web3DArtist]

2:32 Yoyu actually can. the reason why you couldn't is because you were using instances and there is a way to bevel that to without doing what you did. All you have to do is put a realize instances node in the front of the nodes and it will work.

[@DaLAHottie]

I would suggest using: File format: OpenEXR Color: RGB Color depth: Float(Half) Codec: ZIP(Lossless) Image seqence(Overwrite)

[@darkcgi]

Could you please provide details why you would suggest this?

[@DaLAHottie]

@@darkcgi Because if you do this, each frame will be rendered as an image(OpenEXR). This helps because if you have done some color matching or made your animation filmic, you can keep those properties by selecting all of those "images" and putting them into Blender's video editor. If you have made these properties and just did an ffMPEG video, you would not see these properties in the final render. (if you are not skilled enough to understand this or I did not explain it well then just stick with the way he did it in the video.)😂👌

[@darkcgi]

@@DaLAHottie I guess I should have been a little more specific. Why these settings instead of just a PNG sequence. I get the making individual frames to pull back to VSE to do post processing but what is the advantage for these specific settings.

[@DaLAHottie]

@@darkcgi I only use these settings because people have suggested it to me and because they work out fine, but to be honest, I dont really understand the Color depth setting or the Codec. Maybe the advantage is that these settings are widely used which means that there are much more tutorials using these settings. Sorry if I couldn't answer your question. I'm not amazing at Blender yet.

I move the cursor to 1 after moving the timeline to the end, and the only registered action is at frame 0. As well for the 'W' nothing registers and records in the timeline through to the end. Pressing enter doesnt work when trying to initiate the fac to frame 250. What am i doing wrong?

[@botina06]

Fantastic tutorial. How can we export those geometry nodes animations to FBX files?

[@esphilee]

I always render to PNG. Because if I spot something during render. I can stop the render, modify to improve, and start from where the renders ended previously. Converting from PNG to FFmpeg is usually very fast.

[@Loffai]

Hi Ducky3D, You have been uplaoding a lot more I am very happy, I just wanted to tell you a suggestion, Since Cycles and Cycles X take a very long time to render, especially 250 frames i suggest you use EEVEE with the SSGI addon, it give the exact same Cycles SSGI but for EEVEE you get much more fast renders without any loss in shading, hope it helps PS: I know you already know this, but SSGI means Screen Space Global Illumination :)

Search for looping (W) for shaders and literally you can copy shader tutorial to geometry nodes. This is a great way to make a procedural noise loop node. "Creating perfect animated noise loops in Blender."

What if the base shape you're applying this effect to is not a cube (ie. a rectangular box) -- how do u get the small cube to cover the entire surface?

Hi @Ducky3D Lately i found a better way to loop animation. Just use in W attribute of Noise texture callout "#frame*0.5" and that will give you loop animation witch 0.5 is number that tells your animation the speed factor. ;)
