Key benefits

  • Develop a creative mathematical thinking of the modeling workflow
  • Understand how Blender and geometry nodes store and manage the data that you are handling
  • Learn different scatter methods and how to use them

Description

For anyone working in the computer graphics industry, understanding how to use Blender’s new geometry nodes tools to manipulate and generate 3D geometry in a node-based workflow is an essential skill. In this book, you’ll learn how to use the basic and intermediate features of geometry nodes that are a crucial part of your Blender roadmap. You’ll start by understanding the different node inputs and outputs followed by the basic nodes you’ll need throughout your geometry nodes projects. The book will show you how the node system works and enable you to put your newfound knowledge to use through exercises that involve modifying curves, meshes, and more. You’ll work on a range of interesting projects such as creating a procedural plant, where you’ll use nodes to generate the intricate details and variations of a plant in a procedural manner, and a spiderweb generator to refine your skills of cleaning up a node tree. Finally, you’ll build a procedural LED panel using geometry nodes to generate the look of an LED panel. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to overcome any geometry node issue confidently and make complicated geometry node trees exactly how you need them.

Who is this book for?

If you are a CG Artist or follow modeling careers like that of an environment artist or even a CG generalist in the cinematography industry and you are looking to get into learning a node-based modeling workflow using Geometry Nodes in Blender, this is the perfect book for you. You will need a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of Blender, for example, knowing the specific workflow of material nodes and being able to apply this knowledge to your projects. To get the most out of this book, you should have a basic understanding of Blender's shortcut system and some modeling experience.

What you will learn

  • Discover the different node inputs and outputs that geometry nodes have to offer
  • Get the hang of the flow of the geometry node system
  • Understand the common nodes you'll be using along with their functions in the geometry node editor
  • Modify basic mesh primitives using the node system inside Blender
  • Scatter and modify objects aligned onto a curve
  • Become familiar with the more advanced nodes in the geometry nodes system
  • Link geometry and material nodes editors using named attributes
  • Implement your new-found knowledge of nodes in real-world projects

I’ve started using geometry nodes for about 2 months, and I found I understood it but had a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Siemen’s book has cleared out all the cobwebs, not to mention you also make some in the book. He explains in detail node groups, types and usage with great examples you’ll want to reuse on multiple projects.

The media could not be loaded. For those who have experience with Blender or with using node systems, this book is very easy to follow.For those who are new to 3D modeling, this book is at a intermediate level and may require some trouble shooting and research, but is still very do-able.

This handbook is such a helpful guild for me to learn geometry nodes. I was surprised that it gives a lot of detailed information/explanations/examples about the different nodes. Like I know what the node is for, but it is really hard to explain. But the explanation in the book is very clear. The example is also helpful for me to practice. It is more like a node "dictionary“.

I usually using Blender a lot, and this book helped me a lot using Blender. I usually just modeling by simple geometry, but If we use geometry nodes it is easier than just modeling at all and easy to fix it either. I think it is even can use for professional usage. I like the shading and clustering and everything. Especially, the grass part is amazing. It would be definitely help my work.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
