Thank you its is AWSOME and blender 4.2 tweaks did the job. Can you tell how to render it as movie with alpha channel but with bloom?? It is very hard to achive. Maybe you have solution?

6 minutes in an on the Less Then value adjustment, I am still only seeing 1 line. Clearly its a user error on my end, because I have watched other videos, and still only get one line. Anybody else have had this issue? I am using 4.2 Blender. I opened the file you have, and it might be because some stuff is different, the repeat stuff is complexly different in the download file, when i open it in 4.2, vs the video.

Can you advise if there are additional considerations when sending particles or objects through a curved pipe. In my case I want to send sparks through letters.

Awesome work man .One of the best geometry node tutorials. We are waiting for more geo node tutorials from you. Best of luck

hey, really well explained man! was wondering if it's possible to get the same effect with the instance on points node ?

Love how you share your thinking process - its invaluable . Thanks for yet another amazing tutorial

Great video, thanks. Still early in my Blendering/geometry noding and the info in this video felt like a massive step up for me with my own grid to terrain modifier efforts. In the video you use a 0.1 multiplier to make a suitable composite Sort Weight and I wonder : A) If there is the same precision limit on Sort Weight as a regular value meaning an equivalent SQL style example "ORDER BY X ASC, Y DESC, Z ASC, etc" with millions of vertices could exceed that precision to sort correctly? And B) is there an alternative sort means in geometry nodes that doesn't need prior knowledge of the data size to avoid needing to pick a suitable value such as x0.1 for ~500 vertices for packing sort channels into a Sort Weight?

Sorry for criticism but it is not correct. The fibre doesn't work like this. There's a light exactly at the very end of the fiber and that gives the light. It is not a quite long light strip at the end. I tried to get that effect, nut even if I set up the colorramp to 0.999 the light is not a dot, but a stripe. Sorry.

i love ur clear logic and great voice, they makes everything much easier to understand

Maybe its a dumb question, but how to sort indices in a circular way? I mean, like a watch-face from 0 seconds to 59 seconds. (I made a rectangular watch-face with a meshboolean of a rectangle and a circle with 60 vertices, deleted the corner points, and the center ofcourse, but the index is messed up, so i would like to rearrange them, but i can't figure it out. Maybe some sin/cos math... i dont know)

Wow.. thxxxxxx

Great work. I have a question: how can we use this method but presenting each letter after each other (like in your typing video)?

what Blender are you using? The Equal nodes towards the end is not a node I can find (I'm using 4.1)

how to offset it so it starts from 1

Thanks alot for this

Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. Is there any way to attach text to each orb? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm pretty new to Blender. Thanks!

Since the Noise Texture has been reworked it now has the Normalize option. If you would disable that, the output no longer ranges from 0 to 1 with an average of 0.5, but from -(detail+1) to detail+1 with an average of 0. So you don't need all that math to center it (only scaling maybe if you want to increase or decrease the offset effect).

Kudos 🙌🙌

What a unique visual. Very great tutorial.

Great tutorial and the effect is really cool. I think learning what to do to loop it perfectly was the most helpful!

THIS IS SO COOOOOL!!!

perfect!

Great stuff man! This could be useful for logo animations as well :)

Is there a reason for using colour ramp to drive the orb size, rather than a float curve? I guess it demonstrates another approach, but I always find that float curves are more intuitive.

There's no need to open the N panel to activate lock camera to view anymore, when looking through the camera there's a small lock icon on the right under the gizmo. Great tutorial.

Heads up, some viewers wondered why Cycles doesn't work to render the lines. Oddly, the orbs had color in Cycles, but the lines didn't. While investigating, I promoted the Orbs from Instances to Mesh using Realize Instances, changed the Orb shader to read the 'color' attribute from Geometry instead of Instancer, and it BROKE in Cycles. Quick web search reveals there is an open bug in Blender that renders colors black in Cycles when the attribute name 'color' is used on vertices. I've updated the Gumroad file, but if you want to fix your own project, the fix is to change everywhere you have 'color' as an attribute name to something else, even 'colour'. Cycles will work after (though you'll probably want to add some Glare in the compositor). Cheers.

Underrated channel

So it's not a bug, it's just a missing feature! Blender's Trim Curve documentation does have a warning that cyclic splines are not currently supported. Which tells me that at some point when they are supported, we won't need the work around in the video to disable the Trim Curve at the end of the animation duration. 🎉 Also, I later discovered that you CAN use the Sample Curve node to get unique positions for all points. I misinterpreted the documentation. The fact that it inputs and outputs fields should have been my clue. If you connect the Index field to the Sample Curve's Curve Index input, the Position output field will give you the factor's position for every spline in the Curve geometry input. No need for the Repeat Zone. You can use Domain Size to get the count of splines, use a Points node with that count, then plug the Sample Curve's Position field output into the Points node to set their positions.

This was fantastic, thank you for sharing. Liked & subscribed.

super cool tutorial

Excellent work!

Nice!! 🎉

thank you for this insane tutorial. Could you explain why it seems to does'nt work in cycle for lines ?

Thank you for the guide! But I can't implement the line color in Cycles. It only works in EEVEE. Can you give me some advice?

You rock! Love this effect and you explained everything so well. Highly enjoyed learning with you and hope you keep making more tutorials like this!

Very informative. Thanks for taking the trouble to make the video

super cool!

very well done! I love text effects

Perfect! Easy to follow tutorial, thank you kindly!

Thanks. Very well explained, easy to follow. Just one thing: you chose leaving the extruded chars without a back face. That's okay, but could you show how to deal with the indexes of both geometries? I'm puzzled...

u are doing the impossible, making me understand geometry nodes!! lol love you for that!! None of the tutorials made me understand or be interested in geometry nodes, i can finally understand them

Which was your favorite Matrix movie? (The first was such a classic, imo!) But seriously, what did you all enjoy learning from the tutorial? Anything confusing or need help with something?

Thanks!

Hello sir, thank you making this tutorial. I have a question as a beginner. If I wanted to make the random shape turn into a precisely a cube or a sphere (wireframe alike), what I would need to do? Anyone is free to point me to the correct docs or videos on the topic.

For all those using Blender 4.2 (or higher) you cant use the "Bloom" effect in the Render Settings. Go to Compositing -> click use nodes -> and set a glare node between the two nodes -> set the menu from streaks to Bloom -> I recommend to set the mix to -0.9 to get the old fancy bloom look.

Repeat Zones are designed to not be multithreaded, so you're geonode setup will quickly get slow when more orbits are added. On the Blender Science Discord Server we just discussed faster approaches, which can be e.g. achieved with the "Instance on Points" approach. Here's the blender file: discord.com/channels/940526858800336936/1104836157516284034/1262548263890845759 The Blender team has plans to have a 'foreach zone' in the future wich can run in parallel but it isn't there yet.

Great tutorial! The fact that you sound like Elon Musk makes this tutorial feel 10x smarter as well

such a good and clean tutorial. subscribed😃

Did they add the repeat zone in the latest version coz I haven't heard of that node yet

Such a great tutorial thank you for sharing this. Commenting about your question at the end: I get overwhelmed learning geometry nodes sometimes because I learn so many new nodes all at the same time and even though I can reach the result I don't think I'm really grasping the understanding about what I'm doing. These detailed in depth walk throughs are really helpful!
