ngl the music and the ending part with the disc golf is peaceful, we can relax after finishing frustrating render
Thanks a lot, that's so true! I kept having some weird issues with that render in the beginning, so I can definitely relate :D
Totally Agreed
Edit: In blender 3.0 and above the whole Geometry Nodes system has been refactored to use the new Fields system, so this tutorial is unfortunately a bit outdated now. I will make new tutorials, though :)
Let's see what you guys think of this new format with the text boxes! I do realise that I leave a lot of explaining for the texts, and that it might be a bit jarring to pause all the time if you want to get all the info.. Then again, I managed to fit a reasonably complex effect with a lot of additional info in a
I really like it, and I think it's a really clever idea (although more time consuming for you I guess, so thank you). Keeps the flow going for a first watch and also allows for a deeper dive, so good.
@@boudewyn Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, that was the idea, to not interrupt the flow too much by rambling about everything, while still making it possible to get the info if a viewer wants to. Let's see if other people agree :)
@@SketchesForHumanity I really like it as well :) I often rewatch tutorials and being able to read the in-depth notes the first time and afterwards be able to rewatch without needing to skip any long explanations is really nice. I also memorize written things way better so these notes really help with my understanding of blender! Also the disc golf part was very relaxing. I enjoy the harmony between the tutorials that require focus and the relaxing content afterwards.
The text boxes are next level...
I love the idea, it's an elegant and simple way to make a tutorial "multilevel", advanced users can simply ignore the info boxes, while beginners can pause and read!
Came for the tutorial, stayed for the disc golfing in the dark on snowy Finland. It's so calming, isn't it?
It really is!
You never cease to exceed my expectations for how genuine one can be. Great tutorial and i love the very unexpected winter night disc golf
Thank you so much, Joacim!
Very good mate. Love your tutorials and loved that ending with the chilly disk golf session. Thanks for sharing.
So happy that I found your channel! Geometry nodes are so interesting but overwhelming to me and this really helped me to understand them better!
this is one of the most original tech/tutorial channels ever, the disc-golf part was something that i NEVER expected, and i love it!
I loved the ending! It's really unique and i didn't expect it! It feels like a Vlog
That ending was so soothing and nice. Made me smile. Video is great as well obviously. Keep it up man
wow, this is so smooth. thank you for the tutorial
Super nice! I like your whole format! :)
Awesome, loved the illuminated disc golf ending also
I really love this tutorial, including the text boxes for further information.
It’s incredibly how you come up with these things.
I never knew something like Disc Golf exists.
You should try disc golf sometime, it's so fun! And cheap to get into, just buy one $10 disc and you're set up :D
This is simply incredible. You deserve to have a lot more subscribers! Insane stuff!!! Respect!
Really appreciate your videos, man. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the nice effect! The disc golf was beautiful too. You have unique things, love to see it
Watched you play the whole round mate! Too cool. Thanks for all you do.
was expecting 20 minutes of tight blender geonodes tutorial. And now i'm sitting here with cool procedural lines and watch you play disk golf with peaceful music... Best tutorial ever :D
Loving your geonodes tutorials
As soon as I heard your accent I a had a hunch you were a fin! :D Great tutorial man and enjoyed the ending. Very chill. Kaikkea hyvää !
Simply magic! Great tutorial! Thanks a lot
Thanks man, absolutely stunning tutorial - as always.
such a beautiful place to live, really loved it
Congratulations to this fantastic tutorial. It’s very educational, easy to follow. I’m very impressed. I’m an absolute fan. Thanks again
always beautiful stuff 🙏🙏
Thank you for the great tutorial! I think the speed is just right, and it is convenient to follow it. And golf in winter Oulu looks amazing! Miss this cozy town. Kiitos paljon hyvästä tuulestani!
This is brilliant! Hope to see more Geometry Nodes tutorials!
Wow, that was beautiful! Both the tutorial and snowy night golfing! I had no idea such sport existed!
You'll have to go try it out, it's super fun and accessible :) You only really need 1 basic midrange disc to get started..
Your content is so unique and wonderful. A real inspiration.
Not even half way thru the video and my mind is blown. I can follow along just barely well enough and you're teaching a master class! Great job! I think some of these techniques could really help me figure out how to do this vortex motion graphic I am working on though. Thank you very much!
Amazing video man, nice work.
Wow!!! I need time to carefully follow steps you did! But I definitely have to, looks amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing us such a great experience!
excellent tutorial! Love these
Beautiful work, thank you for the tutorial!
This is beautiful.
While I'm a "newbie" at Blender . . . always love your tutorials and always look forward to your philosophical insights on life accompanied with your most fitting background music. 3D creation and poet combined to teach motion graphics and convey inspirational messages which I hope all your viewers appreciate and find valuable.
Thank you so much for the comment, Sam! I really appreciate it
Absolutely incredible. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 👍🙋♂️
When you putted to minus one on the course at 17:45, I clapped. :) The text boxes are helpful, and I took the time to pause and read your breakdowns. Great demonstration of the Geometry Nodes and how best to approach affecting the paths versus the vertices.
Love these videos so much. You giving me super powers
nice tutorial,playing light frisbee at night is so relax and peaceful.
Great tutorial! I learned a lot and my mind is blown. Can't believe your disc throwing skills though! super fun! Great Flying sauser
I was waiting for your beautiful gamma corrected hair to show up. Thank you for amazing tutorials.
Haha, thank you so much!
I usually work with houdini and just wanted to see blenders take on proceduralism. What i didn't expect was that awesome secret ending. Subscription earned for math and vibes, even if i dont even use blender xD
so talented, and technically adept. Enjoy Finland, it is a wonderful country where I had the opportunity to appreciate the way of life and the great intelligence that reigns there!
The ending part is where the "For Humanity" comes on the name of the channel... Love the Tutorial with the Tips, and Definitely love the Disk Golf part...
Awesome, keep up the good work
Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
Awesome video on geometry nodes, but really appreciate the disc golf!
Never even thought that this is a thing, tbh.
Amazing effect!
After using Rhino and Grasshopper for a bit and finding it very frustrating this looks really promising for procedural designs. Amazing breakdown. Thanks!
I love your work man' really awesome:)
please keep up this format and also the ending bit with the disk golf.
Very cool to see this type of proceduralism that you typically only see in Houdini. I know Houdini has 30 year head start, but its nice to see Blender getting in to this area too. With the amount of money being thrown at Blender lately, I have to imagine a lot of cool stuff is in store for us in the near future.
Awesome tut!!!
You are very underrated. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
This text box system works really well, making it possible to learn more without extending length of the tutorial. I would move those boxes a little bit higher from the bottom part of the video because RUclips video timeline goes on top of it when pausing the video making it harder to read the texts.
Thank you for informatic and well done tutorial. Kiitos!
Very creative and informative. Thanks for the effort 👍👍
Loved the night golf
Came for the geo-nodes tutorial,
stayed for the disc golf,
now dreaming about disc golf + grill + vodka on snow.
Thanks for the tutorial and showing an interesting cultural event. Peace!
You're not only a geonode master, you're a pretty good Frisbee player. Frisbee has kind of lost it's drive in the USA. I can definitely see the correlations to Blender and 3D in general. Very philosophical. I enjoyed and learned from it very much. Thank yyou
Thanks for the comment, Timothy! Interesting that you think frisbee has lost its drive in US, from what I've seen disc golf is bigger than ever over there. Of course it's even more widespread in Finland, at least relative to the population size.
But yeah, it's a nice physical and mental exercise, for sure!
Great video!
I'm in Southeast Asia, really miss the four seasons and even winter. Can't wait to get back home next year.
Thank u for tut ❤❤ just amazing 👏 ❤❤
Excellent!
Well done! Thank you!
Also a piano player and blender fan, just subscribed and looking forward to more stuff. Greetings from London!
love it!
Nice man!
Hello. I subscribed to your channel on 04/22/2021 at 1:45 am, from Argentina, your tutorials are great, thanks for sharing us !!!! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
nice game !! disc golf go go go
Thank you sooo much!
very good, thank you
Jolie travail, merci pour tout. bon courage....
Thanks for your tutorial and nice snow. I want to play too. This game looks fun.
You should try! It's super easy and cheap to get into, you only need a basic midrange disc to get started :) And most courses are free to play, at least in Finland.
@@SketchesForHumanity I will look up, never heard ppl around me played.
i enjoyed the disk golf :)
존경합니다 선생님! 감사합니다.
DUDE OMFG! Killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss U!
thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! can create some really wacky shiiii now :)
Great!
Cool !
Ok Ive never seen this in a GN tutorial before. I had no idea you could have several of them in the same modifier stack and they will read the info from previous node trees. Very cool.
Yeah I was thrilled when I saw that update, knew straight away I had to make a video about it! :)
thank you :)
Thanks :)
Thanks, great video!
Btw. I was baking a bread when I watched your video.
It was so interesting that I totally forgot about the bread :)
Thanks for the comment! I hope the bread didn't end up burned :D Awesome that you're baking your own bread, btw! It's one of those skills that would be good to have for everyone, but most people still don't, including myself..
.Really nice tutorial.. compact and clear!!! This geometry nodes are amazing!!! Thank you very much for the tutorial. Impressive the golf disc!!!!🤣🤣 Never have seen that!!.. Think we can make something like that in the sunny Spain!!!🤣🤣 I supposse in summer you will be able to play without light during all the night!!!.👍👍💕 Thank you!!!
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, summer midnight rounds are the absolute best in Finland. Except if the place has a lot of mosquitoes.. You guys do have some courses in Spain also, but a lot less than we do in Finland. Somehow it's become a bit of a national sport around here, I guess because we have so much cheap and unused forest space for nice courses.
@@SketchesForHumanity 👍🤣
cool thanks
thank you for the tutorial mua~~~~
charming place to live
Hey! I really enjoy your tutorials! information is constructive and straight to the point. Loved additional text boxes, great way to add up info for noobs (like me hehe) to learn basic stuff in detail. The "after tutorial time" is my favorite to be honest. I love learning new blender tricks but sometimes it could be quite daunting to go through even a 20 min video, but with your videos I know there is going to be a "treat" at the end, motivates me to do more. I like some philosophy or to see whatever you do in your regular life and that... that connects me to you on a personal level. Like, you are not just a random blender tutorial guy, you got essence! Gives me such great desire to know more about you, what you do, what is your name, what are your plans for the future, how do you figure blender out? Anyway, thanks again for your videos! They are pure gold.
Thank you so much for this comment, Aleksandra! I really appreciate you taking the time to give this positive feedback :) This is exactly what's been my plan, to try to also provide something else than pure blender in these videos, to hopefully make people interested in other things I've got going on. My "big picture" goal actually has nothing to do with blender, and this whole channel started out as a behind the scenes channel for my "main project", which is the Songs For Humanity project/channel.
Songs For Humanity is about using music, animation/video and philosophy to try to increase people's sense of global unitedness, positivity and mindfulness, and to get excited about the future instead of all this fear that we see nowadays. As I say, even if the ship is going down, I want to go down singing beautiful songs instead of screaming :)
Well, as it turns out, there's absolutely no search visibility for a project like that, so I figured I'll first gather an audience with some other types of videos, and try to include some philosophy in there also to hint at these greater aspirations, and to then hopefully get back at the big picture project at some point. And as you can see, blender tutorials turned out to be the best way for me to do that.
You can check out the Songs For Humanity channel if you want, but be aware that there's now only a few quite old videos.. I'm of course learning a lot about making engaging content with all these other videos :)
But yeah, stay tuned for a lot of other things besides blender tutorials! It looks like I'll get a dedicated small studio space later this year, which means it'll be easier for me to make music/videos. I'm very excited about that, and the growing audience I'm getting here at RUclips!
And again, thanks for the encouraging comment :)
@@SketchesForHumanity I. Love. This. Concept! This is so fascinating and inspiring, thank you for taking your time to type all of that! Perhaps I could pitch in and help out with your channel growth somehow, I had a few ideas like a logo animation of your channel ;)
It's awesome that you want to help, I'm honored! :) I don't have any specific needs at the moment, but of course I'll happily check out anything made for me, and use it if it's suitable. Probably the best thing you can do right now to advance the original cause of Songs For Humanity is to do something nice for someone! Positivity creates more positivity
U.F.O.s in Finland🛸
I mean - the language sounds a bit extraterrestrial tbh ;-)
Thanks for this great tutorial! That's a really powerful and intuitive way of creating stuff based on math. And non-destructive.
loving this. 1 suggestion: maybe stick the text boxes in the top/middle area of screen. The issue is when I pause the controls of the player is in the way. Plus maybe I won't forget they are there if in a different place. I was 3-4minutes in before I remembered the text.
Hm, that's true about the controls. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll at least try to leave some space at the bottom next time :)
with the last build of blender 2.93, If you don't have any reaction of the distance (and thus , of the sphere scale) variable to the movements of the falloff, first create an attribute fill node with the z position of the falloff, then do the math with the z value of the initial plane. Took me long time to work around ;
The POWER of geometry nodes. Wow. ... For me, it's a totally new way to think that is taking some time to wrap my mind around.
Sadly, I'm still on Win 7 (well ... not "sadly." I very much LOVE Win 7) so I can no longer run 2.93 updates :(
.. also ... DISC GOLF!! WOOT!! ... ~17:30 ... NICE PUTT!!
Fantastic walk through of the new features, very much enjoyed your explanations! Tiny note: Poission was a french mathematician, so his name is pronounced Pwason and not like poison (that unhealthy thing). Cheers!
You should make more videos, your videos are really good👍👍👍
That disc golf segment was as amazing as the tutorial part. Finland looks so nice, I will definitely visit when things settle down. I love your insight on how bad throws can bring up intense emotions. I notice that in myself as well, especially when playing with friends. Next time, I will focus on my breathing.
Could you also tell me where you got that disc?
Thank you for the comment! Yes, you should definitely come visit Finland sometime. If you like disc golf, there's a ton of courses everywhere as well :)
The two discs I used were Latitude's Compass and Mercy, just regular stock discs from a local store. I put Viking Disc LED stickers on the bottom of them, and also taped them in place since they tend to detach in treehits otherwise.
@@SketchesForHumanity thanks for the info. The LED stickers are hard to find here in Belgium, I guess there isn’t that big a market for midnight Frolf :-P by the way, I like the format with the text boxes. I feel like your channel is ‘high information’ and this format is in line with that.
Great tutorial, thank you. I really enjoyed the format and found it efficient but explanations were thorough. I do get lost in the maths nodes a bit, but thats because I’m not that bright 🤔
The golf at the end was fun 😀 what time of day were you playing?
Thank you, Matthew! I played in the evening, at like 9pm. It's still very dark around that time here in Finland, but that camera actually makes it look a bit lighter than it was in real life.. I couldn't see the disc as well as in this video, for sure.
Wauuu
For disk golf, It would be crazy to see the disk have lasers on it. Seeing it fly through the sky in the dark would be awesome. Especially on that camera in 4k (probably be an unbalanced nightmare to use but would look sweet)
That's a fun idea! Imagine a foggy morning with laser discs...
