  hey sorry im late to the party, you are clearly "surfing a singularity convergence" by using nodes to create the very node tools you're using to show us your node tools quickly :D this will be super useful for my desire to create images and video memes in blender (just an idea-slides for a powerpoint tutorial using blender to create everyslide. you've just demo'd a slide template builder using geometry node modifiers. so. sick. my process is parallel to yours im just in stop motion because ive never started streaming.

  Hi there, sorry for the late response, but they have moved these panels around some since that video came out. Depending on the version of Blender you're using it may not look the same, but at least in Blender 4.1 it should be in the Group Tab and in the Interface Panel. You may not see all of the options (Subtype, Default, Min, Max) shown in the video until you select the input you want to change in the interface. Also, if you'd like to rename the input you have to double click on it now. Again, all of this is for Blender 4.1, so if you're using a different version it may be different. But, I hope that helps!

  18:12 I believe in contrary to active selection node, active element node gives you index of only one element meaning you could do operation only to the selection for example, but do it in relation to the active element ( so for example rotate selection around active element)

  Axes to Rotation looks now more messy and confusing

• 
  @EricaCalman15 күн бұрын

  I kinda prefer axis-angle because I'm a physicist dabbling in art rather than an artists dabbling in math, but it's probably for the best cause its easy for me to convert in my head and probably not so easy for an artist. It might be a minor headache though to in some cases add math nodes where previously none would be needed when using different inputs to generate a rotation angle, but in most cases it should actually simplify things.

  Great video! 4.2's a really exciting update for Geometry Nodes. ^^ I hope you don't mind, but there are a couple of technical notes I'd like to add. This isn't really meant to be a dunk on the video or anything, but I just wanna clear up some details. 2:24 - This isn't true. The old behavior of Realize Instances is basically equal to "Realize All", where it just turns everything into realized geometry no matter the amount of nesting. The new addition is actually being able to restrict how many levels of instancing "Realize Instances" could strip away using the "Depth" option. 11:08 - "Axes to Rotation" doesn't replace "Axis Angle to Rotation", the latter still exists in 4.2 and is not deprecated. What "Axes to Rotation" actually replaces is a specific setup where you chain together two "Align Euler to Vector" nodes with the second one's pivot axis being equal to the first one's alignment axis. This is specifically for cases where you want to align but minimize twisting, so you align to two perpendicular vectors instead of just one. "Axes to Rotation" replaces this workflow, and avoids the headache of having to make sure the correct pivot axis is selected. You just give it two vectors, one being primary and the other secondary, and works off of that. It's a different use case from "Axis Angle to Rotation", which is just a conversion node for one of the common ways to represent rotations (i.e. Euler, Axis-Angle, and Quaternion). 18:04 - To answer the question, Blender has two types of selections: - "Selected" (highlighted orange in Edit Mode) - "Active" (highlighted white in Edit Mode). Multiple elements can be "Selected" but only one of the selected elements could be "Active". It's usually the last one you clicked on when making the selection. The usual way this becomes relevant, is for operations where the "Active" element becomes a reference point for how the rest of the "Selected" elements get affected. Examples would be rotating/scaling with the "Active" element as the pivot point, or copying an attribute value from "Active" to the rest of "Selected", etc. A big use-case would be shortest-path selections, where you can highlight a couple of faces as selected, and have GN calculate the shortest path to the active face, and select everything that falls under that path. Anyhows, I hope that added extra clarity for some people. Wasn't able to resist the urge to explain things in detail lol.☝🤓

• 
  @gavindotjs15 күн бұрын

  Great question! There actually is an older version of Blender that had a game engine. The Blender Foundation didn't move forward with it, but I think I saw some of the community resurrecting that version and updating it. I didn't follow that much, but it's worth a google lol Also, Erindale made a series recently on how you can use controller inputs in Blender and modify the .blend file to function as a game! If you're interested definitely check it out! kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKiJscZviamqndY.html&pp=iAQB But, to answer your question, no I don't think that's the direction they're going in. I honestly think the mouse position node is just for making more interactive tools

  Thank you for your thoughts on an efficient nodal system. Personaly, I add handy values in outputs, usefull for thé next node. Do you eventually sell your nodes that reproduce a 3d node?

• 
  @gavindotjsАй бұрын

  Thanks! I do plan to sell these once I've finished them. I'll post about it once they're done. Also that's fair about adding outputs to carry data between nodes. That just depends on where you want the nodes you're making to be used. If you intend for the main use case to be in a node network then that makes sense, but if you intend for them to be used as modifiers then you have to save data as an attribute because the only output that's calculated is the Geometry Output of the modifier. I hope that makes sense!

Only an absolute absurd number left to got -_- kzread.info/dash/bejne/rICb1cuYl9KsmtY.html

  @@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.

  Very well said! And thanks for the shoutout. I believe the 'Modular Modifiers' approach is the most powerful way to use nodes because it gives the speed of procedural, with minimal restrictions to the artist's creativity. The problem I see with a lot of what you classified as 'Generators' is that the node group usually makes something really cool, but the result always looks kinda the same because too many of the artistic decisions had to be hard-coded into node group . . . or you get settings that are a mile long ;).

  @@gavindotjs I was going with your definition in the video. But essentially, any complex node group that makes something cool all within that one modifier. I find that due to their complexity they usually aren't flexible or easily adapted to other situations. Then you talked about simplifying, which I think was spot on. For example, one of my early nodes was called rope wrap, and it takes a frame type of mesh as an input, make loops of rope around random points on the frame, connects some of those loops together with sagging curves, then turns the curves into a mesh. It's cool, but I never use it, because it does too much. Within that node, was a group named edge sag, which I made into a standalone modifier, and I use that modifier all the time because it is flexible and can be applied to power lines, vines, ropes, arches (with a negative sag), etc.

  Hello. Your explanation on every node used for Geometry nodes have been very helpful for me, but there is 1 part you never explained. That being Utilities. There are quite a few that I don't really know how it works like 'Accumulate Fields', 'Join Strings' or 'Align Euler to Vector'. I was hoping if you can take the time to explain what some of the nodes in the Utilities section do, so I would be able to know how it works and when to use them. Thanks.

• 
  @gavindotjs3 ай бұрын

  I absolutely will! I'm no where NEAR done explaining all of the nodes and I promise I will explain the Utility nodes. It just takes me a long time to research and do all of the things I need to to make sure I'm putting good information out into the world, so I will it'll just be a little while! Thanks for watching and I'm really glad to hear that my work is helpful! BTW: the Accumulate Fields Nodes takes a field and returns the total for each of the elements up to that element as well as including or discluding that element depending on the output you use, and it can give you the average. It can also do this per groups, so if you include an ID to get totals and averages of each group. This was all off the top of my head, so if you want more detail (or to make sure I'm right and you understand the details) you can find more on this node in particular here: docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/geometry_nodes/utilities/field/accumulate_field.html I hope that helps!
