Hey Kev. I know you know. Maybe you don't. But what you're doing is incredible. Not just what you do. But what you do for us. Thank you. Big love from the UK x
Thank you Andrew! I like to help and I try sometimes. The world needs as much as we can all give right now, so thanks, and big love from the USA. Stay safe!
i love how you reply back to as many comments as you can . Thanks for that and I personally find you very innovative and learn from your techniques so much . I'm not there but I hope someday these new ideas pop up in my head too . love your videos , keep posting .
I swore I’d relied to this already but it’s not showing up lol. Thanks! This stuff is iterative, so the more time you spend in it the better you’ll get. You’ll get there sooner than you think after hitting LOTS of plateaus haha.
Kev this is amazing and your videos are very much appreciated :) One criticism though, which has nothing to do with the video per say, is your parting words. I know you mean well, but if one more person asks me to "stay safe" I'm gonna scream. Safety has gotten us into a lot of trouble over the past couple of years. Stay free, stay inspired, stay risky! Thanks again :)
Man why I found your channel i was on bed and saw your video and you made me go back to the computer again 😂. i love your channel and definitely i will learn alot of things from you
Thanks. I’d only had a few hours total to spend on it, hence the lack of detail and disappearing “birds” lol. More time to do things right is always a trick haha.
You could actually make some extra stands and house and make a collection out of them to make it more messy and random, Awesome work btw ! Thx for sharing
Pretty cool ! I'm a nodes believer myself :) I think your final shot is a bit out of focus overall, but who knows, that might be intended, keep up the good nodes!
I'm struggling to make them different heights like you did in the video, when i click "pick instances", it makes them different heights, but also just removes the "stack" part of the stacks and just leaves one per instance
One small thing, at the start you call the metropolitan trailer park suburbs “tracks”, they were actually called the Stacks in the book (which is one of my favourite books btw and an interesting window into the not-so-distant future). Great video, have thought about how to recreate the Stacks for years now
I know. I caught that too late and do call it stacks later on so just let it slide. It’s hard with no other eyes on this stuff but my own tired ones sometimes lol.
Hey man, I need help on a decision. So I’m thinking of getting a good software for vfx/3d animation, I have come down to paying monthly for either Houdini, maya, or 3ds max, the problem is, I’m not sure which to chose and so I wanted to ask which software do you think is best if I want to create very realistic places, creatures, etc. Also wanted to ask, is there a better difference of realism or quality of vfx/3d animation if I use a more expensive software? (I have been using blender)
Ah, the eternal question 😀. My take is this: Most VFX companies have Maya installed, including my small team on the industrial side. If you are good and know it, you can get in and and produce pretty quickly. 3DSMax is pretty wide as well, at least here in the US, but not as wide as Maya. Now, if you want to work in FX (fire, smoke, water, fracturing, etc...,) learn Houdini. It’s used pretty widely but still pretty niche at the time of this writing. I use it at work and love it. That’s after spending a solid decade in Maya for 10+ hours a day. Does that help?
The thing that bothers me the most in the videos of geometry nodes is they use cube or sphere or something and it's not fun to watch visually 💚 good job brother 💚
I followed in the 4.0.2 Blenderversion and when i distributed the "Stacks" on the grid it distributed them in them selfs in one spot instead of the whole grid! I followed every step exactly and i don't know what i did wrong?
Very impressive and cool! But from a construction point of view, it doesn't make a lot of sense to not position the columns in a single vertical line. Makes it look less realistic, since most columns are only supported by a very thin deck now (impossible in reality). If you want to keep the columns in an irregular pattern, the decks should be supported by trusses. Nevertheless, amazing work!
This is awesome! 🤩 I gotta know, though... If I _did_ want all the satellite dishes facing the same direction... (Because I'm the kind of nerd who would be bothered by details like that.) Is there a way to do it with the geometry nodes setup? Like, even if it has to be its own whole other convoluted node setup?
Uaaaw, I wanna follow this tutorial about geometry nodes so bad, but It's too fast and advance, and I'm quite too noob. So, need to find some videos and try to get back to this whenever I improve.
Hi there, i bought your Patreon so that i can take these and make some cool scenes in UE4 yet once i import these they do not show up, is there anyway to just get sent a “Stack” model file please? Or is there anyway to make those stacks meshes?
Yes, the whole thing is up there, except for the HDRI and one or two textures that I don’t own, but I provide the links in the description in Patreon. It’s also formatted for Blender 3.1 but should work in 4.x as well.
Hey Man. Thanks for the video really appreciated it. I noticed when I type in mesh in the search function for geometry nodes volume to mesh is all that pops up. Would you happen to know why this happens?
That's strange. Some of it is not tagged to the nodes yet I think, that, and they keep switching in and out different nodes. There is a way to enable legacy nodes in the preferences, but I don't do it as it tends to confuse me more than anything.

Good stuff!
Thank you! I hope things are well!
its amazing to think how much more detailed you could make this city with even more time.
love your work as always
That’s so true. This was a few hours at most. A real shot could be a week or more with tons of detail, depending... thanks!
4:50 "A nice simple system for making a mess."
That was frickin deep mate
I tend to “philosophize” from time to time. 🤣
The quality and complexity blows me away. Super well done! 💯👏
Thank you! Geonodes did the heavy lifting 😀
@@KevBinge Blender is on steroids with geonodes. 🤘💯
I’m starting like everyone else haha. I do have a Houdini background though so that helps, quite a bit.
WOW😲 This video Just blew my mind. Really great job on explaining the mystery that is Geo-Nodes and walking us through it. Beautiful end result!!
Thank you! It’s scary at first but it’s worth jumping in I think 😀

Thanks Brandon!
I love your sense of humor! The video was hilarious and entertaining and informational
Thank you!!
This is like an upscale edition of Rio. Sad, but true. Great tutorial 👍
Another amazing and helpful video.. thank u kev.. ur work always inspire me. ☺️💪

Haha! That’s happened to me many times too lol! Thanks, and keep learning, it’s such an awesome program and community!
Ready Player One book was so good!
I liked it. It helps that I got all the references 😀
Very glad you found Single Vert! instead of collapsing cubes :) (it's in an add-on that includes/ed Rounded Cube)
I did! Now I know it’s there, and can save myself some time. Thanks!
I love this guy
This guy loves ya too 😀
You are a GOAT!!!
Thanks Kev
I’ll take GOAT! Thanks man!!
Nice job William!
amazing! this could have been a full blown course if you added more details!
Thanks. I’d only had a few hours total to spend on it, hence the lack of detail and disappearing “birds” lol. More time to do things right is always a trick haha.
You're on fire, Kev :-)
Thanks David! I hope all is well 😀
awesome! been building some shacks this will be a great help! thanks :)
Very cool!! Shacks would work well with this.
Nice tutorial! I'll use it sometime when I start making animations with this jazz
Awesome! Thanks!
This vid's narration had a real Ian Hubert vibe to it, very cool 😁
Darn... I really tried to stay away from that haha.
Yea minus the funny
Splendid. Great job on the design and presentation :).
Thanks Satish! It could still use lots of work but I hope I got the main points out there.
You could actually make some extra stands and house and make a collection out of them to make it more messy and random, Awesome work btw !
Thx for sharing
I could always add more haha!
Good job man, real helpfull
Thank you! 😀
thank you!
Thank's a lot - that was very useful and interesting!
You’re welcome!
Wow this looks nice!
Thanks!
Thanks to this tutorial I think I like yellow now
Thanks! Lol
why does the object disappears from the viewport when I plug the collection node into the group input? at 4:32
Amazing, keep up the good work❤️
Thanks!! I hope to.
Pretty cool ! I'm a nodes believer myself :) I think your final shot is a bit out of focus overall, but who knows, that might be intended, keep up the good nodes!
I might have added too much in the camera effects comp on the final on this lol.

Love how the gunk flying arround cuts a frame or two before the sceine ends
Yeah, oops. I was going to fix it but it already took way too long to upload.

Thanks buddy!!
I noticed that at 0:27 it's 12 meters, not 6 meters. 6 is just the scale multiplier. But good video!
Nice. Enjoyed that
Thank you!
@@KevBinge definitely welcome. I need to get into those nodes. Cause my sets are getting bigger and bigger each project I start. 🤣
Oh yeah, it helps quite a bit to let the procedural stuff do the heavy lifting.
Awesome!
Thanks!!
Sweet.

You’re welcome ARJUN.
Geometry nodes are amazing. But need many thing to improve.
Yeah, it’s in its infancy right now.
@@KevBinge But it is cool to do generative mesh. I do Mandelbrot on 5 milion verts and my PC burn out. :D
Yeah haha, that will slam any normal PC.
Yellow ❤❤
8:15. Best part of the video... 😂😂😂
Thanks. Literally my childhood humor haha.
Damn he just started with the cube without deletion it
I did 😁
Wow!!
Thanks!
How did you populate the houses on the stands?
Geometric Wizard!
Lol
This is awesome! 🤩 I gotta know, though... If I _did_ want all the satellite dishes facing the same direction... (Because I'm the kind of nerd who would be bothered by details like that.) Is there a way to do it with the geometry nodes setup? Like, even if it has to be its own whole other convoluted node setup?
Thanks! Yes, it would take another node setup but absolutely doable. I’d imagine quaternions would help.
Nice, so di you use the HDR in the end cause I see what it looks a procedural sky at 8:35.
I did end up HDRI but it really washes out in the fog and YT compression. This needs a whole lot more work tbh 😀
Uaaaw, I wanna follow this tutorial about geometry nodes so bad, but It's too fast and advance, and I'm quite too noob. So, need to find some videos and try to get back to this whenever I improve.
You’ll get there. This one is a bit fast.

9:02 isn't it called color grading in this case?
amazing video btw :)
Color grading, timing, correcting, yeah... I need more sleep haha :) Thank you!

Can u do zero gravity simulation?❤🌹🔥
Possibly 😀
What's the total vertex amount for the scene?
I had to load it lol... about 320K total.
Hahahahaaaaa GREAT!!!! And hilarious. Luv it

Hi Kev, I was wondering will this work on eevee?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t, if you have enough ram on your graphics card.

You mean the Stacks? Not the tracks.
Yeah. I did say it later in the video.
i like yellow

Is it possible to import this in unreal engine ?

bro can you tell me about your pc power
So now i have rtx 3050 8gb with ryzen 7 3700x and 16gb ram can i do this ?

@@KevBinge lol thx
There is modeling,,then i saw this..and what..All you do is from nodes and that lines...
Sort of. In Blender 3.1 with extrude you’ll be able to do so much more. I still modeled in this one 😀
Do you know? Geometry nodes it's too powerful. Even blender beginners can faint... 🤣🤣🤣 Hyperbole.
I like the hyperbolic 😀
