Filling Objects is Easy Now (Blender Tutorial)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- In this Blender tutorial we will be learning how to use Geometry Nodes to fill the volume of an object, and to make it better, the objects wont collide! We will be making a very simple node tree that will allow us to use any object we wont in out object and use a very useful node to make sure do avoid collisions.

3:10 Turn on Face Orientation and Flip Faces the faces that are red. This depends on your extrude direction. After that Join Geometry and then Merge by Distance.
This needs more likes
... And of course you can make a little 'Solidify' group that will sort the flipping / merging out for you.
Great tutorial Ducky, but adding a collection is far from complicated in my opinion🤔
Just for the sake of completeness, here the steps:
- Drag and drop your collection into the geometry node window, check "Separate Childen" and connect on Instance (like you would do with Object info.
- On Instance on Points, check "Pick Instance".
Your Welcome ☺
that is the most visually appealing 3d text ive ever seen
I appreciate that!!

Not sure if you can find this useful. When you extrude, the back of the object is not filled. Therefore you can join geometry as you did... But again a level modifier would not be applied to that edge. This is because the faces you extruded have the normals flipped inside. You actually extruded in the direction of the normals. To sort this out before joining the geometry, flip the normals with a flip normals node. Now, to make sure that the whole mesh is connected, just use a merge by distance node. The overlapping vertices will be merged and in this way you achieve the solidify effect.
Hope this helps!
New tutorial ! Yes! lets go. Thanks!
Super Cool. Will be using this in my design work at some point. You rock, dude. Thanks.
Really great that some of this stuff for Mograph is coming to Blender!!
Loved it, thanks
It's done! Cool stuff. Interesting method with multiple "merge by distance" nodes.. I love especialy how quick, good and simple your light setup is! Thanks !
Glad you like it!
I just tried it, but after the first "merge by distance" the result remains the same. Which makes sense when you think about it :D
Thank you so much @Ducky 3D🖖
awesome tut!! :) thanks
that's sick! I'm amazed, what a brilliant!
Keep it up
Thanks a lot!
@@TheDucky3D don't mention it 🌻
This was an excellent video. The exact amount of explanation. Kudos
Thanks!
Thanks! Cool video.
Big salute to you Sir! ❤
Thanks for Sharing!
No worries!
Wait a minute. Your name is not Ducky. 😵😵😅
Thank you ducky. Love typography animation
I’m glad you like it!
super cool and short tutorial :D lovely
Thanks!
thanks man great tuts
No problem!
Great channel, glad I discovered
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you so much
Thanks for another great tutorial :)
Best regards
My pleasure!
Very helpful ❤❤❤
Thank you
:) all done was grate, added the wire frame set up, noise texture in a set position and a particle with stuff coming up. lol i basically combo tutorials
you never miss
Waiting for this video ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
THANKS!!!
Yeah. I was testing something like that too; to simulate Chucky tv series intro 3D text animation and with traditional physics is pretty a nightmare, right because of the collisions and intersections. With geonodes at least it could be more feasible. Well done!
Thanks. At 12:40 an alternative for Blender v4.0 and higher is to use a repeat zone.
you best teacher
That's so useful! Thank you!
*you look like Vincent Bennett, a vocalist of the American deathcore band The Acacia Strain. 🤓🤘
Dope!
Extrude in geometry nodes shouldn't leave the old geometry there. If you had a subdivided cube and extruded some of the faces in the middle, you'd wind up with interior faces. It is very cool, and there's probably some math you can do with the bounding box of the instances vs the merge-by-distance distance to get exactly the right overlap if you were going to turn this into (say) a node group you reuse over and over and over.
this is awesome nathan thanks, i was wonder how can i use my mesh object instead of using text.
tale a look at the geometry nodes tree, starting on the left
look for the node 'Mesh to Volume'
at that point 'Realize Instances' is plugged into 'Mesh' on the 'Mesh to Volume' node
that's where you add a new mesh instead of text using the 'Object Info' (drag and drop from the outliner)
now you are working with a different mesh instead of text...
hope this helps
It looks to be that the size of the instanced objects on the points is exactly half the size of the merge by distance value.
Thanks as always! What does the repeated Merge by Distance achieve?
Great as always! Thanks.
Is ist possible to use the 'Merge by Distance' node to join the back faces with the rest of the geometry in order to close the volume?
I tried but couldn’t get it to work
that Thumbnail is Nuts!
Wow
personally I think using distribute points on faces and poisson disk to remove overlapping instances looks good enough but nice to know about this trick.
Yes love that! Unfortunately I didn’t see poisson disk available in this process
Probably already been mentioned but instead of stacking the merge by distance, its a good use of the repeat zone
I need to try that!
hey ducky3d wow that was
Oh mannnnn. And I'm suppose to be able to focus on work now, knowing this is out to watch! lol.....BRB
Do your best haha
Me and his tutorials🤞🏽🙂
My advice.
Take that 100 minutes, and make that the start of a course on this very subject.
Text in Geonodes is likely a huge subject area with tons of things that can be done of course.
Endless. Make it a course. Give us some geonode setups with it and some training. like $60 course...
I know it's probably in the works, but they should have a distance min option so you don't have to merge by distance... (like in distribute on faces, poisson disk)
Pretty darn easy to get a nice custom result. They kicked ass with geonodes. I tried learning Houdini. Nothing against it - I know it's great. But not easy to get into.
U could use repeate zone instead 4 merge nodes
Ahh I’ll try that
@@TheDucky3D just tested and it works
Your "Random Value" isn't using degrees so these large values are incorrent. If you want to use degrees then you should multiply random value's output vector by (pi/180) with vector math node.
Great tutorial. Can you please explain how to make that elements in shape have different colors/materials?
@anderdob to accomplish this, you have you create a collection of meshes in the outliner, then drag the collection into the Geometry Nodes window. Details have been provided by @libero8750
Thank you for the tutorial. But I couldn't understand the necessity of four stacked Merge By Distance nodes. Why can't we just use one?
Much easier in C4d, no? or Maya?
I don’t understand what the difference is between doing merge by distance once and doing it four times, if the distance is the same?
new to blender. Is it possible to do more than one object? lets say a nut, a bolt, and a screw?
I'm guessing this is how they do the intro in every chucky episode. Pretty neat! Thanks!
Pretty much!
connect the back using MERGE BY DISTANCE
I tied that I couldent get to work right
@@TheDucky3D You have to realize instances first and then you can use the merge by distance node (some nodes need actual geometry to work) you can also apply a bevel modifier after that. You might need to flip the initial face using a flip face node to get all the normals pointing in the same direction, depending on the extrusion direction.
This is Great! Any idea how to convert it to mesh? i tried but it disappeared
i add realize instances and worked
at 2:47 as i apply the extrude mesh, the letter is extruding way way longer than normally shown here. how can i fix that. in the first try i got it, but blender crashed in midddle, and after that its not extruding correctly. i tried re installing. plz help me im in middle of making a commercial for a client.
How to do it with different objects on a single letter/word?
Wow, how simple is that....
Hi How can I make sure they don't collide with each other?
is it possible to fill the volume but in "textured" way? to get a more random distribution
I believe so
This is possible in which version, sir? 2.9, 3.0, 4.0/.1 ???
is this possible with a logo rather than just a font? i'm super new so sorry if that's a noob question
Yes any object can work
great question, could you please explain how? thanks!
3:30 just remove doubles to make a bevel work
There is must be insane animation to create if you add an empty and a circle curve and make the empty rotate along that same curve circle with follow path constraint, THEN you add to your geo node setup that sane empty object (did i really need to tell you to drag and drop.. ahaha) connect the location of this buddy to a mesh line (1) then connect it to a geometry proximity set as ''points'' aiming for any node that'll animate your scale considering the location of your empty,,,,, not gonna lie writing words for words what to do in blender is a pain.
interesting...hard to imagine the results though...can you post a link to your video please?
@@mystery_guy i tried it once very quickly and yes result was weird according to a circle curve. I know that the position of the empty on the first frame have a strong importance on the whole thing.. honestly i wrote it down here because i am also wondering how to make the whole thing to build properly and was hoping ducky could make the idea further interesting ;P
this addition to the whole node setup he built is beyond my knowledge to be honest but now that you make me believe it could lead to somethig i'll give it a couple try again
@@RELEVANT3D most excellent! report back!
How could I use mesh instead of the " String to curve" setup?
I answered this, see my previous post
How to animate them like you do it?
You know what I’ve never worked out. How to fill an object with smoke. Not a cube. Something like a font.
how similar is it to the poisson disk spacing option?
Pretty much the same
3:24 Why doesn’t Merge by Distance merge the points so the bevel works?
I tried it, personally I couldn’t get it to work
will the neon sign be on youtube eventually?
No it will just be on Patreon
@@TheDucky3D good to know. When it It's possible, I'll contribute and take a look
dude that is very nice. i am searching how to make objects on a floor fly up and assemble to make a text like this or any other shape i want, i can't find a tutorial how to animate objects. for example, i want to make a monster creature wake up by getting his shape from random scattered rocks on the ground. please help.
try this:
at the far right of the geometry nodes tree you see the node 'Group Output'
add a new node between that and the previous one, use 'Set Position'
add a new node beside the 'Set Position' , 'Random Value' set to Vector
plug the output from that into the 'Offset' of the 'Set Position'
at frame 1, in the 'Random Value' node, type in weird values for Min and Max, you decide, then keyframe all six of them
at the last frame on your timeline, change all random values to zero and keyframe those
play animation
this might give you what you are looking for
Is there a way to animate it and have it all come together to create the text
I will have to look into that!
I answered this previously. Check it out...works great!
How can I add multiple objects?
First they have to have approximately the same size.
Then you can put the objects you want in a collection and then use the collection instead of the object (at 6:09 you will see him dragging the bolt from the outliner drag the collection instead) but make sure to separate and rest children in the collection info node and check the pick instances box in the instance on points node and maybe plug a random value node in the instance index.
I hope that helped.
Why are my key frames not registering the rotation. I am rotating and no key frames are added in the timeline. Please help
in this case, keyframes will not appear on the timeline, you have to go to the Graph editor to see the keyframes
can this be done with a SVG imported logo?
Yes!
@@TheDucky3D thank you brother! I am going to try it
cool, how about, an object pass through the nuts and it collide with the object maybe not to fast.
I don't have "String to Curves" in the geometry nodes
are you using Blender 4?
ok i have a problem. i have a laptop of rtx 2050 where i know rendering animation is almost 0. still i want to render some stuff through animation. so can anyone tell me how can i bring my laptop to render small animations smoothly.
just start the rendering and wait
@@mystery_guy wdym can u explain
@@Proud_shudra_bhramin If I understand your problem correctly, your rendering takes a long time and is not smooth.
take some video tutorials on how to render.
Render settings should by either EEVEE or Cycles, depending on your scene.
Max samples no more than 100.
Under Output, change the frame rate from 24 to 30.
Hope this helps.
@@mystery_guy ok I will try
Hi c:
how to make carbonated bubbles on fruits that form under water
It's a nut, but those are details 😂
Haha yes
How make this in blender?
ruclips.net/video/PxN_emcYWs0/видео.htmlsi=OTcNAxxC-BHJOMpT
He said we should use a black font but I don't have JamalSans installed
are you nuts?
Yea
You wasted your time just use tissue addon instead this lenghty nodes process
good idea, however, no time is wasted if you learn something
