is it possible to randomize the speed ? I tried adding a random value to the scene time, didnt work somehow

[@MarioRivera-png]

this is a great effect and well explained, your presentation style also feels very natural. my ONE request is for a more visually organized node tree, like some labeled frame nodes so we can see what's what as we follow along

[@MarioRivera-png]

This might only work with Node Wrangler enabled, but hitting Control+J will add a frame around your selected nodes

Thank you, this tuto was amazing, i understantd geometry node more now. But around 36:50 i never succed to make the sparkles stop at some point, they just continued to fly away

That's right it's wrench not a cornflabbin spanner! #Murica
Wait a sec... did you say ZED?

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial about how to efficiently animate RCS thrusters going off based on a spaceships angular velocity

[@WeyounLP]

This tutorial is great, but I dont think it would work well if any object is moving, no? Since the laser always follows a straight line from A to B, it would awkwardly change direction mid flight if the origin moved (eg if it was a spaceship)

[@NickProkhorenko]

An interesting scheme, but it has a problem. What if I need to fire 2 lasers in a row instead of 1, and have 2 explosions in a row...?! Your laser is connected to the explosion - that's bad. The laser fired from the weapon flies anywhere, it can no longer be stopped, and in your case, I will have to wait until the last explosion is over...

Is there a way have the sparks appear only when the laser impacts something?
I watched your previous video on doing that via workaround with particle systems.

thanks for the tuto. less cluncky than using particles but with noticable limitations.
