Hey, thanks for the comment The reason that everything disappears is when you apply the modifiers the twigs and leaves still are 'instances' and not real objects. To fix that drop a 'realize instances' at the end of your second geometrynodes Nodetree. If you do that it might temporarily break the UV's and your Leaves could disappear. To bring the UV's back you can select your leaf object, go to the shader editor and plug in an 'attribute' node in your Vector Input of your Image texture. In the 'name' field type "UVMap" and it should bring your leaves back! Good luck!
@@Kammerbild Oh thank you! I had problem redone your video like 5-6 times seeing if I missed something! It's works and now I can add this to my project I've been working on. Thank you! If I may offer a critique of your video, well two. 1) You go a little to fast to follow, I had to go .75X speed most of the video and was still having to pause and replay a lot of the times to fully understand or find things. 2) I know you have the key stroke reader on screen, which thank you, but some of the actions you take, you kind of cut off on the side of the screen and I was confused and having to look for the function for a while. Only after I had watched about 2-3 times over did I realize you did the whole project in the layout panel for the majority of the video. When you made the new float group at [2:35] I was confused as to where that was because I was using the Geo nodes panel and didn't realize that also had a tools tab with [N]. I defiantly learned a lot and I thank you for the tutorial.
@@Kammerbild Hi. It works thanks. There's still a problem though. After dropping a 'realize instances' all leaves become identical. The colour randomness disappears. Well, I'm too unexperienced to solve this. Thanks anyway :)
Someone help! These constant blender updates are not good for nodes. When I plug in the step to see the branches, 2:24, its just wire frame. I've tried curve to mesh, but no clue what I am doing. Please someone help, I'm using 3.4. Also, this is so awesome, outstanding work.
In the second geo node when I change the Z value of Rotate Euler node, my branches get scaled in z direction, instead of getting rotated. Any idea why this would happen? Thank you for the great tutorial.
Thanks for the video. Like others have said, the speed at which you pace yourself is too fast for a tutorial. I am in awe how quickly you navigate but if you play this video back at .75 speed you should notice that even that sounds like a normal paced video! XD It doesn't take away from the video though and it was generally easy to follow so long as you have some experience with blender. My bush wasn't the best in the end but you've taught me the techniques needed and I shall refine them and revisit this video quite often I'm sure. Appreciated :)
I see your texture follows the direction of the branch, how do you achieve that? On my branch, the whole texture stretches the same way no matter the direction of the branch
This tutorial is awesome, i've just found an issue exporting it to UE5, i lose all the UV data and it is a big problem, how do you preserve the UV data through export?
ok solved! the problem was in UE during import, i had to specify "create a material Instance" referring to the material already imported (the same used in blender)
Hmm. Did you use the Linear Light MixRGB node for the displacement like I have it in the Video? That should usually fix the problem. The first color should be black. Or have you perhaps acidentally plugged it into Position instead of offset?
yeah i dont see it. this tutorial was already hard to follow and understand for a newbie like me and not being able to modify what i created is just a bummer. i want to generate bushes with different leaf count etc.
Theoretically you can of course control almost everything with geometry nodes. In this setup the leaves are spawned on every vertex on the tips of the twigs. So more vertices = more leaves. So you could influence the subdivision amount before you put the instances on points 🤔
@@Kammerbild thats fine to know and yeah it works but your menu at the end @3:31 would be much more usefull. how to set up that one? done everything step by step but i dont see such a menu.
Hey, ich hake aktuell beim Schritt 0:45. Es kann sein, dass es irgendeine kleine Einstellung ist, aber ich kann die Vertices nicht richtig herunterskalieren. Selbst wenn ich nur einen auswähle, wird der komplette "Skin", unabhängig vom Radius des Proportional-Editings, skaliert. Kannst du mir sagen was ich falsch mache? :) Edit: Danke für das gute Tutorial!
Not very helpful, so much is left out and missing or gone through too fast. I dont have a group tab on the side panel to handle input/output and cant figure out why it's missing so ive wasted my time here.
