Blender for Scientists - Getting Started in Geometry Nodes

[@SamMorell]

Always look forward to Joe's Blender tutorials . . . beautifully produced both visually and scientifically. The same for Brady Johnston.

[@mystery_guy]

thanks CG, this tutorial is quite good, I'm going to do the next one now. Love your approach to training.

[@BradyJohnston]

A very nice and comprehensive intro GN, nice work :)

[@SamMorell]

Brady, just want to acknowledge your terrific Blender tutorials as well. Would welcome the opportunity to work with you and Joe.

[@BradyJohnston]

@@SamMorell Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@JohnWesleyDavison]

Great video and props for listing the other great creators.

[@LuminousLab]

Aaaand my to-do-list for gn tutorials just got longer :)
Thank you for sharing!

[@ItsWesSmithYo]

I definitely should have done more homework in my calc 1 class, but this was awesome for the scientist in me;) 👍🏽🖤😎🙌🍕

Incredibly useful content, thanks a lot!

Very informative and much appreciated.

Great Stuff!

THANKS

Great tutorial. How would you do a icoparticle with the new geometry nodes? Getting the atoms to appear ordered like in a CdS quantum dot is proving difficult.

[@CGFigures]

There are a few options, and it depends on how much control you need over what appears on the icosphere points. I'll put this as a worked example into Ep.4 of Blender and Science.

@@CGFigures Great thanks! Looking forward to it.

great!

Great

Hello Sir, Let me know about the construction of the monolayer WS2 (TMDs). Can you explain how can i set it? Thanks

[@CGFigures]

Hey Sakal. I have a separate video on constructing crystals. I think it should be able to help with making a WS2 monolayer. (ruclips.net/video/LRT31AoqHD4/видео.html&ab_channel=CGFigures)

Thank you for creating this tutorial! May I ask why is it that when I add a mesh primitive cube @5.25, I only end up with the a cube node with a "Size" variable? I don't see variables for X, Y, Z, and Vertices X, Y, Z.

[@CGFigures]

Hi Ken, I'm not sure. What version of Blender are you using? When I tried just now to create a mesh primitive cube in 3.1.0 I see the Size and vertices options.

[@rrppkl]

@@CGFigures Oops, my Blender wasn't updated. All good now, thanks!

[@alpatel1]

Hi, Is there any way to make borders of cube visible?

[@CGFigures]

Hi Sachin, can you clarify what you mean by the borders? As in, a way to outline the pillars? You could do it with the freestyle tools in rendering (though I don't recommend that unless you are after a specific artistic look). You can also run the pillar geometry through a "mesh to curve" and then back through a "curve to mesh" using whatever profile you like to create a simple wireframe effect. It's a bit difficult to explain node trees. If I find a video that covers it i'll post it here.

[@alpatel1]

@@CGFigures i meant outlines. I found some videos but they looked bit complicated to me. The cubes normally doesn't have outline. I want those outlines to be visible.

[@CGFigures]

@@alpatel1 Hey Sachin. Can you link one of the videos you found? If there's an easier way to get the same effect I'll see what I can do but having the reference will really help me with that.

Something like but i am looking for easy option

[@chubbec]

Do you mean on render or as you work? You can turn on the Cavity option in the Viewport Shading dropdown

[@zzww7147]

very confusing not good for beginners. messy and complex
