ive been trying to do this with collections of growing box instead of single growing box, for anyone curious and haven't figured it out yet, use collection info(reset children with relative) and plug it with realize instances before geometry proximity.
You don't need to calculate the distance between position and the position of the geometry proximity. The geometry proximity node already have a distance socket, just plug it on the math node and it will work
Great tutorial...Thanks!! Just a note the 'Geometry Proximity' node has a 'Distance' output, so there's probably no need to add a 'Position' and 'Distance' node. This was brought to my attention by a fellow Blender user.
Yes, I think I know which passage you mean. For this, however, the plants would not only have to grow larger per se, but also grow and develop leaves - think that's another more complex approach :-D !
i took some nice garden flowers in it, its really awsome, i had some problems with a cube, the power of the distribution looks lost the power in the middle of the cube so its only atracting on the face sides. dont know how to fix, but i love it, maybe next days i can fix it. ciao - how to make own noise textured ground liek a real forrest walk path or something, thanks sir amazing tutorial ! we all love it ciao
Hello from Paris, (France) great tutorial for the Blender user group of Paris who start to learn geometry node, very clear thanks a lot, I've try to combine the proximity instance with an image black and white (blender logo for example) to control the proximity with the logo area, but I didnt find a good solution, any idea to setup that ?
Hi, I just tried filling the proximity object with the Blender logo and it worked. You need to import the logo as an SVG file so that Blender really recognizes the shape of the logo as a mesh, not as an image. Then you have to tinker a bit with the "Multiply Add" values after the Distance calculation, so that the shape of the instances doesn't get too spread out and inaccurate. I'm sure it could be done using just the color, but that would be a completely different approach.
Great tuturial! Would it be possible to make it affect the density instead of the instances scale... this because memory wise it still uses the original number of instances, so we don't see them but the computer still has to compute them.
Great channel, so much information packed in these videos. Really great work. I have a possibly dumb question - how would you go about colouring/texturing the original grid?
Hi, thank you! There is nothing like the "original grid" anymore. If you want to change the color of the plane, you have to create a "set material" node right after the "grid node". Then you can chose the material for that plane seperately. I guess you want to create a meadow or something like that?
@@blenderdude5050 ah thanks for getting back so quickly. Yeah very new to geo nodes so taking me a while to figure out the placement and order of nodes. Essentially yes, I’m looking for a way to kinda of add a meadow, thru textures and if possible geometry.
How could i replicate this technique, but instead of instancing objects on point, to do it to many premade objects within a collection and affect their transform??? when i plug this nodes sequence to the transform it throws an error, i think it sbecause its not the same type of data as instancing, but i can't find any info on what i'm trying to do. Thank you in advance!
Hi, klick on the object, then click on the left side on "object propoerties" , go to the tab "Viewport Display" and change there "displayed as" from "textured" to "bounds". That will save you a lot of time during modelling process...
Hey thanks a lot! One question. Tried to overgrow a gate (3 dimensional object, not a plane). How can I have the rotation of each scattered object match the normal direction of my base mesh? Otherwise they are all pointing upwards. Greetings :)
Hi, just add an "Align Euler to Vector" Node between "Distribution Points on Faces" and "Instance on Points" Node. Connect the "Normal" output with the "Vector" Input, and the "Rotation" Output with the "Rotation" Input of the "Instance on Points" Node. I used that that Tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5k1ngXjOLNs.html !
What did you do a 2:32? I'm not sure what shortcut you made because when I bring the placeholder cube into the geometry nodes and attach to instance on points, nothing happens for me
