Creating Stunning Surfaces with Blender and Geometry Nodes

Фильм және анимация

In this video we will create a loft node that can do complex paths using a guide curve. In the process we will look at the Curve of Points, Sample Index, Sample Nearest, and Sample Curves nodes.

    How do you make things look like easy in geometry nodes??!!!!!! You are a genius

    Awesome Tutorial - it worked really well with the cylinder . Tried the same on a grid (which i‘m using more often) but then the mesh never reaches the endpoints of the curves - any idea why ?

    Hmm they should auto-generate. I’ll see if I can find out why they did not.

    @@JohnnyMatthews Thanks for looking into it! It really is helping :D I'm playing with this right now, it's great to have a concrete example of Sampling. And at the end of the video you demonstrate why a simple Screw on the guide curve wouldn't achieve the same effect (Which I wondered about at the beginning).

    "Curve of Point" is too confusing. I think they should go with something like "Parent Curve", or "Point's Curve" or something like that. idk. I guess it's easy to get used to, but didn't really speak to me at first.

    I had a patch in at the same time with ‘parent curve’ but was overruled since the ‘of’ phrasing was being used in several other places. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Why geometry nodes its not trying to learn a bit from grasshopper for rhino ? making simple loft takes 4 components and sorting points, data as well. Those walk arounds are super confusing. Having simple parametric lofts dividing by points, joining points cross data that wold be dream to make good parametric models.

    We just don’t have sorting nodes yet. But I have a feeling that they will come as we move into simulation nodes. There are only 2 main paid coders working on geometry nodes. So that is probably why it doesn’t have every feature of commercial products yet.
