START learning GEOMETRY NODES in Blender!

Learn how to create this comic book-inspired animation effect in Blender 4.0 — without using a single keyframe, all thanks to the magic of Geometry Nodes! If Geometry Nodes sound tricky, no worries. We’ll break it down step-by-step so that by the end, you’ll have a fully customizable animation effect you can use to get some really dynamic results in Blender. Plus, you'll get the hang of some Geometry Nodes basics. We’ll start off by modeling some simple, angular shapes and organizing the scene. Then we’ll get into randomizing colors and materials, instancing our shape collection to points on a curve, and animating everything with Geometry Nodes. In this blender tutorial, we'll cover: - Randomizing shapes, colors, and materials for a unique look - Animating scale, motion, and timing with math and random value nodes - Setting up looping animations with scene time adjustments - Adding lighting and lens distortion to finish off the effect So whether you’re new to Geometry Nodes or just looking to try something new, this tutorial will guide you through creating this cool, procedural animation that you can use again and again. I’ve also included the FREE project files below so you can jump in wherever you’re comfortable. 🔗 Download the Project Files from discord https://discord.gg/XxrzVYswQ4 -- This is my first attempt so clunkier and longer than I planned, but if you found it useful (or not!) I'd love to hear about it. 👋 Come say hi at: https://www.patreon.com/goodgood3d http://youtube.com/@GoodGood3D http://instagram.com/goodgood3d http://tiktok.com/@goodgood3d https://discord.gg/XxrzVYswQ4 -- 00:00 - Introduction 00:35 - FREE Stuff 00:58 - Modelling and preparing the shapes 04:39 - Creating a randomising Material and adding Bloom in Blender 4.0+ 10:11 - Instancing Shapes with Geometry Nodes 20:09 - Aligning Rotation and Angle 26:22 - Animating with Geometry Nodes and Scene Time 45:38 - Lens Distortion and Final Touches
