This is crazy, the first thing I did when I learned the basics of geo-nodes from one of your earlier tutorials was make a fractal and I was thinking "damn it'd be nice if blender had some kind of recursion node or a repeat node or something" and here it is...
Every month or so I was googling again and again, to see if this is something that gets added. And just as I skipped a month it gets reviewed by CGMatter. Amazing)
What is also great that number of iterations can be keyframed for animation purposes. It differs from simulation zone that you can control when iterations increase/decrease instead of making them run every frame.
I can't think of any other youtuber or teacher or anyone who can break complex things down and explain them in simple terms who then gives examples to further illustrate something complex. Thank you for making these videos.
Loop node (repeat zone) does make it easy to iterate. Though you may need to express an utmost caution with iteration count since most of pc would freeze or become extremely laggy after 5-6 instancing iteration. Better set in group input max first asap.
AHHH FINALLYYY i actually have already made a tumblr style sierpinski pyramid thing with blender. and there is a part where i repeat a node to iterate it. i couldnt be bothered to make the number of iterations editable through the node group input. it would be just a mess of nodes. this repeat zone is gonna make things soo much easierr. i cant wait for blender 4 to fully release
Can someone tell me how he is duplicating the object but the outliner isn't showing the extra cubes? Whenever I try to duplicate with shift+D or Alt+D I get 9 extra cubes in the outliner. This is probably basic stuff but I started with blender very recently....
