Blender Growth Tutorial 

As an American, "Zed" really helped me follow along. "Zee" just confuses me.

I've been using blender for a HOT minute and I gotta say, it's hard for me to find tutorials that do not drag on and on for forever, or are filled with the same useless information that almost everyone already knows. Thank you for diving straight in and getting to the meat of the tutorial. This is the first tutorial I've had to actually pause to keep up, or do some experimenting on my end, and I think that's a great thing. I also love the way you explain these concepts in such a straightforward, universally understandable manner. +1 Subscriber

your intros always leave me speechless

The intros/demonstrations you do for these tutorials are always stunning! Do you do it all in Blender? Or do you use another program to edit and apply effects?

I really wish you make a tutorials about your intros, the way you setup the camera, the animations, the lightings etc. they are just too awesome 😆

This is amazing! I'm just gonna drop a request, I hope you don't mind: would it be possible to show your process from making the finished 3D model and animation to the actual video that you posted at the beginning, where the camera goes around, lights work nicely, there are different shots and POV, edited all together? I'm asking because I feel like there are a lot of tutorials that show how to do "NFT-like" static loopy things: you have your nodes, you set animation points and materials, one hdri and a camera that stares still at the thing, and that's the render. But there are not so many that show how to start from a nice idea with GN and actually make a full short sequence with it, and since you always deliver not the plain boring GN but a whole scene at the beginning of your works, and they are all pretty damn good-looking, that's why I am asking! Thank you in advance if you will read and think about it!

Damn man I learn a lot today, mostly the amazing used of range map and group input, I didn't know you can connect everything using group input. Amazing tutorial!

This is a great video, thank you! I wish it had chapters, though -- I'm using the principles here for something other than a fern, so it would've been great to skip ahead to the additional information after the secondary branches. Looking forward to checking out your other vids now!!

Great Tutorial. I tried a lot of instancing on curves because i love growth and objects opening up effects but i do it in a way more lazy/noob way. Definitely leaned a lot of useful things.

Yes! Finally another Blender reality show from you! Have to take popcorn 🍿 and watch ! Thanks a lot! Well let us learn something fresh and new with a good sense of humor !

Hot damn that intro has production value😍

Wow - great tutorial! I'm amazed by blender. So cool that you can visualize the values in a spreadsheet.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Can we use new spiral node for these type of fern creation?

2 minutes in and i am wondering.. why didn't you use the curve parameter to scale along a curve?

I wish I could like this one twice. Really great work!

I really like the new camera angle!

This is so detail and great tutorial for us. Thanks! So hard for me but it is Amazing!

Hey man, what's the track used in the intro?

Only watched the intro so far but wtf that was amazing

that intro is crazy

Useful trick! Thanks for sharing it!

Hi! I have a question. You used a curve to start with in the dancing plant making movie one month earlier. Why you are using mesh to start with this time?

I love plants. Amazing work.

22:18 I believe you should be able to get that information of the curvature of the curve from the curve tangent node. You'll probably have to pipe it through a align euler to vector to get the correct rotation as the tangent gives you a vector that flows along the curve and you basically need a rotation vector perpendicular to it. For me with the same rotation of the scene as you had it, using the tangent as vector input for the align euler to vector and switching it to y axis did the job. This method would require you to use a curve line and resample it instead of using a mesh line, though, but it might be a bit cleaner.

How did you make this: 0:07

Awesome, Please make a video tutorial on creating those intro shots...

Hey when you going to post about every math node in blender again? May I ask you to explain different functions in the vector math node used in geometry nodes sometime?

You can add another geometry nodes modifier instead of duplicating the nodes that you made. It's cleaner

nice, great work🔥🔥🌿

U BEST!!!

That intro omg

Fuck the Fern, how did you do the fractals?

Please make a tutorial on how you make your intro animations. PLEASE!!!!🙏🏽

11:00 19:00 24:00 33:00

Is there any way to control the tightening of the spiral?

I'm having trouble exporting the animation out as an FBX file to import into Unity. I've tried adding 'Realise Instances' and baking the animation - not happening. Any tips?

Endlich

In first 20min i was doing great but in second half my brain just run out of energy 😶and now i just stared at the monitor and looking at all the node (im done😐🔫) 😅😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Insaaaane 🔥

Wait a second. You've been using a Mac this whole time?

You can be proud of ya

Touché

Hello :) what kind of Mac are you using for rendering?

Wow

Finally

13:01 - 😎👍🏻

wtf i think that all these possible with shape keys ?

15:52

please what is the name of intro song ?

always hire a mathematician :D haha

🍕

first, mabye.

Today I realises why this guy named his chanl bad normals. 🤣🤣 it's frustatiing 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭

Well, you should be saying Zed instead of 'Zee' (whatever that means) since it's actually English, not some fake, pretend other language that is actually not English.

Not attempting to be a notional socialist, but I just (and I curse so it will seem like hypocrisy) recommend against beginning your verbal part with invoking God's name in assessing your abilities about facing this project: "It was so Goddam hard..." etc. You risk alienating a significant portion of viewers. Saying FUCKIN' hard would have been less risky . You of course get to make your own risk assessments.

Insaneeeee! I'd love to see a tutorial on that fractal you made for the intro video

0:08 hey, uhhh… I know this is mainly a fern geonode, but what about that mandelbulb geonode?

much easier to model the thing rig and animate it.😵‍💫

Great vid! but i have to know the song of the intro!

I've Been trying to do this Rolling Animation Since Geometry Node was Released but I Couldn't Figure it out. You gained my Respect... Truely Truely Awesome

7:58 You can also use total socket from accumulate field and use the z value, because well.. its the total of the accumulate edit: ok bounding box is superior because it dynamically adapts to scale change

Here's the link the accumulate field tutorials since it's not in the description: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kiSi0HC7-aM.html

You could have simplified this ALOT by using curves from the start instead of mesh lines and align Euler to vector

Fun fact: Fern is one of my favorite plants. :)

pleeease do something like the raspberry in blender 3.1. Geometry nodes are so different:(

Is this for advanced users cuz lmao I'm so lost

Who needs a Mathematician when you're a GeomtryNodes Wizard yourself? Damn, this is good!

fckng hard.. i dont understand

you are the smartest person alive

very nice Tutorial

wth this intro.. :O insane

amazing dude!

This is epic! Out of curiosity, do you ever take commissions for projects similar to this?

would like to get in touch for a commission. How can i reach you? Thanks!

so, the math teacher had stroke while watching this. nice video

Thanks for your great videos (especially on Geo Nodes) - I'm just starting out with GNs and trying to create a realistic (!) fireworks display. Unfortunately, I'm not making much progress. Maybe there is the possibility of a tutorial from you ? Thanks a lot !

Wonderful tutorial! Thanks

thank you very much, trying by myself yesterday to make a tank with radiall things on it for a game and it's difficult 😁, I'm trying to do the same thing described here I'm sure it will be fine afterwards!!! 😄😎 Edit ah my bad it's for 3.1 ok..

Awesome man yes just what i needed :) trying to llearn to projektor mapp and Always whanted somthing growing on My Wall, Love this!! thank you man

fucking finally! YES!!!

How do you not have more views/ subs your content is really advanced and well explained

Can you make a mandelbulb tutorial in Blender please?

Quality tutorial great. Am 9th person to view 😸

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW just wow

is it possible to use mesh normal to make the rotation more simple?

tutorial for fractals in blender octane render?

Intro is just ridiculous xD Good job!

The intro was bad a$$ fr fr 👌🔥

Followed a to z and no issues :)

Array of branchs. Taper to make the far ones smaller. Create a curve and make it follow the curve. Done.

Great work good sir!

Absolutely genial! Love what you create and cannot wait for the next one!

Poderoso!!!!! Powerful!!!

Bravo, killer work

amazing

How do you say "Yowza!" in Estonian? Fantastic work.

Meanwhile I am over here making donuts 🍩 😋

Do you think Blender nodes will become as easy as with Houdini? We can do the same thing in Houdini with much less nodes and the need of math nodes all the time... Wouldn't it have been easier for you to use the "normals" node of the stem to align your branches/leaves?

🥶

This is crazy, blender really has changed since Geometry Nodes!!
