Intro to ALL THE NODES | Blender Geometry Nodes
Hi yes, Hello Everyone! This is the first part of a series I'll be taking into 2024 where we'll take a look at all of the nodes available in Geometry Nodes!
Today I just talk through the idea and take a look at some of the basic nodes to get them out out the way.
ALSO, if you're interested in my breakdown you can find the blend file here:

Cool, I'm looking forward to this series!
Dude really awesome 👏 this is really good you made and really helpful. I’m subscribing to see more from you 😊
This has to be done, thank you for this great work
I’m very glad you decided to do this 👍🏾
Super useful stuff!
You did a great job. Deserves more likes and subs. Cheers
looking forward to this
Excellent Sir! Liked and subscribed. Examples with each node, would be great for us the beginners.
i am looking forward to it
Thanks for being thorough and efficient. Most importantly, though, you took the time to cover fundamental aspects that almost all tutorials I've seen so far fail to explain. Your aside about integer and float ranges was perfectly helpful, by the way. I appreciate "peeks" down a rabbit hole even before a deeper look is appropriate. Great work and instant subscribe.

Nah man, I'm just hard at work on the series lol
This was nice ...going through the channel for detailed breakdown..subb3r !
thank you
Yeaa! i'm the 1000's subcriber =) I'm really looking forward to the sample node's
Nice
great
Great! Just keep going. Maybe you should focus on explaining sockets in the beggining of the next video in this series. Shedding light on the data structure will make it easier to explain their properties and compatibility with each other. Round vs diamond. Single value vs field. Hollow socket: no value, no data type. Filled socket: embedded value, e.g. Position input socket of the Set Position node. "Pinholed diamond" socket: no embedded value, e.g. Offset Position or Selection of the Set Position node. When I started learning about geometry nodes it wasn't very clear to me.

That's an excellent point! I've explained most of that in a previous video, but because of that I completely forgot to include that here. Thanks for the reminder, and I'll do that in the next video in this series!
When is this coming waiting for it
I'm writing all these nodes in Unreal, as well as an translation plugin. Export from Blender, import into Unreal with a few clicks. ^_^ All of your Blender Geometry node models can run natively in Unreal, giving both the Dev AND the player access to the inputs during runtime. ^_^ So far, I've got ~40 nodes created for Unreal that exactly match the form/function of their counterpart in blender.... Only an absolute absurd number left to got -_- kzread.info/dash/bejne/rICb1cuYl9KsmtY.html

That's AMAZING! I can't wait to test this out! I have a pretty big project that I want to do in Unreal, so to possibly use a system I'm already familiar with would be outstanding! Especially if models could be updated at runtime!? That's incredible and has been my dream for years! Best of luck, and I'd love to hear how this progresses!

@@gavindotjs My own Geo-nodes project is over 18,000 nodes. I got about 20% of the way through 'translating' without bugs. I then tested the performance... Blender runs at 100x the speed... All my nodes relied upon editing the existing Dynamic Mesh... but I had to make crazy concessions to handle the differences between blender (uses mix of tris and quads) and Unrea (uses tris only)... And Blender nodes "know context" which, as far as I can tell, is impossible in Unreal. So, I'm in the process of re-writing every single node using my own data structure, and applying it to the mesh at the end. Just one tiny function, the part that figures out which faces/edges/points are being selected went from 4 ms to under 1ms when iterating over just 360 items.
more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do a Geo Node tier list lol
Is there any chance you'd link this blender file in your info? This is a super helpful setup, I'd love to be able to see this in front of me so can always go back to look at when I get a bit confused. Thanks!

Yes, I'm doing some organization now to find the best place to put this (and future files) and I'll make an announcement once it's up! Hope that helps!

You extracted the zip and it still wouldn't open? Sorry just covering my bases! Also, sorry its been a minute, just got back from a trip!
Hi Gavin ! Such a valuable work to come ! Wouldn't it deserve a better microphone ? Thinking of non-American people. Anyway great job.
