I cant tell you how long ive scoured the internet searching for something with this amount of control for destruction. Thank you for making such a thorough video! Please make more just like this!!!
Nice tutorial showing a terrific effect with relatively few nodes. For Geo Nodes newcomers: To expose a node's input as a parameter, you can either add an input pin as shown here, then connect your node to it, or you can just grab the destination node's input and drop it on the blank pin that is always at the bottom of the Group Input node. That will expose the parameter, and it also sets the new parameter's default value to whatever was already on the input of the destination node. Now all you have to do is rename the new input and (if desired) set minimum and maximum values for it, in the Group tab.
Yeah everyone i see use nodes like this i am just so confused. I normally just pull the lines between nodes to make something random, but i just dont understand any of it lol
Finally after seeing that laser beam from blender 3.0 trailer I have found a tutorial how to make a shatter effect thank you kind man, and awesome tutorial
Just found out about this video, the only thing i can say is that you are amazing! The amount of knowledge and effort that you have is truly incredible. I can't believe how people can came up with this stuff. I wisht to you the best of luck (btw sorry for broken english)
Great tutorial, thanks for the insight and clarity! I had an issue once the random rotation was added - my chunks would just stretch. After going through everything and double-checking it, I applied my scale to the "chunks" & box and all is well. Hopefully this helps someone at some point. Always apply scale unless you want problems ha!
This is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing you knowledge to help others on their 3D animation journeys! I'm looking forward to trying this out for work I'm doing. Great video! 😃
let the Geometry Node Game beginn ! this is just start, nice understanding. More please. more impact things ! thats so epic. i miss something Element 3D / after effect can doe simple. hope you get it. really great to learn here ! hope you keep this VFX / Motion ahead ! wow !
legend! I think the math lesson mid tutorial could of been cut as it just added extra confusion to an already complex tutorial but otherwise one of the best blender tutorials I've seen and at least you do actually explain how and why things work btw what does vector mean in terms of 3D? this is what confused me because as a graphic designer vector just means vector based image to me
Your understanding of geometry nodes and math and most everything else in Blender is light years beyond mine, but I might be able to help you with deleting your grease pencil annotations. Instead of using the eraser tool, just go to the View tab in the N-menu and hit the minus sign to remove the note. You can even create new notes if you want to be able to quickly delete certain annotations without deleting others.
Hey this is awesome. I have a question though. Is it possible to have it in reverse? so the blocks are exploded the further away the cube is and are together when the cube is close?
Hello, I followed your TUT in Blender with an extruded Plane and worked great. However, I have a model that I would like to do this to. When I applied the Cell Fracture, it turned my nice space ship into a block.
This tutorial is a whole knowledge about geometry nodes and the math behind it at totally different level. So much to learn from it. I had project to finish and in first half of your video, I was done with the project. Thank you So much!. Just one question, my geometry nodes animation is not showing in my final render, don't know whats causing it or I'm missing anything. A quick hint would really help please.
:( doesnt work in Blender 3.5 :( When i move the radious (around 12 min in the video) all that happens is i move the shattered floor up and down. i will continue to see if I can get some sort of effect out of it. I want to create a magic ball that sucks up the floor :D
Well this is way more advanced for me, but i get everything you say. Amazing explanation, i wish i checked your tutorials when i first started to learn blender(if you have)
I have seen so many tutorials but noone explained the geometry setup like you did....... Do you have a course or something on geometry nodes........ I would want to have it......... When art and math combine it can create real magic
That's strictly amazing, thank you very much for this detailed tutorial! Say, can I combine this with some sort of physics? Like, if we had a wall on that pavement and we make the pavement create a sinkhole, how would one go about having the wall collapse along with it? Some sort of baking the geo nodes and then put some bricks with rigid body on top, or is there a geo node way for that as well?
@@coletrain41 Just fyi, just found out that the foundation is planning to overhaul the physics system for 3.1, supposedly also for working in conjuction with geo nodes. Check out "AskNk" channel
Wait a second here Max, you showed Suzanne being fractured and blown apart, yet the vanilla cell fracture and even RBDLab will not do that to "her" because she's NOT water tight. Though I still have to study all that you did show, that is an issue for me because I dared use a free 3D model that suffers from the same problem, and 3D-Print's "make manifold" didn't fix the issue with Suzanne or that Piece of Junk, AND the hack of solidifying a bit for the booleans to catch also didn't work... I shrunk both 0.99 and solidified 0.01 and still Suzanne was left without a face... Dare to share? Ty for your video, it was interesting and useful...
Can you leave permanent changes when the object collides with the geonode object? Like in an animation when the object moves on, it leaves the destruction changes behind? I hope I am explaining myself correctly.
What's wrong with setting Cell Fracture in Cell Fracture & Rigid Body, applying Rigid Body, and running simulations without breaking it and exploding like a bomb?
Hi..... hmm I have question Can I have in blender posibility to displace surface verts by using anther object in not in one Z direction? In z Direction is possible to use brush and canvas displacement with geometry mesh enablend but it is not working in another directions... Is it possible to make this in gemoetry nodes?
I tried this tutorial but when I get to 11:55 and change the "divide" value, my mesh becomes a 'bowl' shape instead of a mound. The outside blocks come up first. I have no idea why or how to fix this - I've tried messing with various factors. :-( Help? lol
This is great! Just one question if i want to change my object thats scattered and make it another model i made it another collectiona and changed it but it didnt work so if theres anyone who can help id appreciate it.
Hi, I have Blender 3.0 I inserted the add on Cell Fracture and followed your tutorial until 4:32, but when I go to insert the new input on the "group input" on the characteristics of the new group "Chunks" there is no "type" entry. I only find "Name", "Tooltip", "Default", "Min" and "Max". Do you know what it could depend on? If I don't assign "Type" everything else doesn't work. Thanks for suggestions.
Maybe it's somehow hidden by your views layout. Type would be above Name. If I put Type to Integer or Float I get the Default, Min, Max fields you mention. That said, I tried to drag the panels around such that Type would be hidden and I couldn't do it, so maybe it's some kind of bug. I thought maybe you could shift Tab back from the Name field to force the focus to Type even if it's invisible, but tabbing through the fields does not stop on the Type field unfortunately.
i feel like im back in math class in high school where i dont understand around 5 minutes into class and then the teacher just keeps teaching as I sit in confusion. thank god for rewind and .25 speed. still confused tho

Appreciate the in depth explanation and detail. The finale made it an epic tootorial. Made my eyes water.
Awesome! I love how you took the time to explain the math! Very well done.

try using ctrl H to hide the group inputs so each node only has one output
As a newbie in Geometry Nodes seems really complex 😅 geometry formulas freaks me out. Even i loved doing math in student life.
I'm following the tutorial, but I can't get the block to deform by changing the value of the Divide node per 12 minutes.
Is there a setting I can use?
What a groundbreaking discovery
Thanks for useful tutorial man.🙏
Keep it up and go fire 🔥
That's such a clever method! Thanks for the tutorial :D

What a cool effect and a good tutorial. But what got me the most was the fart joke at the end. Am I that simple?😅
Ill use this for an animation of something falling/breaking the ground :D

I'm also having this issue, did you find a solution yet?
Nevermind I figured it out. I plugged the value from the division node into the wrong input on the subtract node.

How to bake that animation as GLTF of FBX?
good tutorial!
WooooW . CooL stuff °!°
very good
Muchas gracias vifeo tutorial me sirve nucho
Great work.. Thanks... subs added..
just so you know i saved the video, but the like and the subscribe was because of the fart.
Hello, I have a problem :/ my cube always always Attracts, not repels particles I follow this tutorial 4 times and always this same issue
Make sure the "pull strength" is some negative value, if it is positive it attracts if it is negative it repels.
i must of messed something up...my chucks only go upwards and not down and out.. Edit: never fixed it heh.

How on EARTH YOU MADE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
thank you ;-*
how do i import this node tree to my projects?
File>append
Go to your project file, double click, nodetree folder, chose your node tree
the opposite happens at 9:13 they all spread out and idk how to fix it.
switch the inputs for the Subtract node so that the Geometry Proximity node is the top input and the Position node is the bottom one
:P
i feel like im back in math class in high school where i dont understand around 5 minutes into class and then the teacher just keeps teaching as I sit in confusion. thank god for rewind and .25 speed. still confused tho
yeah i gave up about half way through. im giving up on geometry nodes.
you had me at the fart
