Finally, a comprehensive and thorough explanation. Been watching different tutorials, no idea what I was doing, had results but didn't understand anything. This explanation already makes up for a lot.
Excellent tutorial. At first, I was afraid of Geometry Nodes. I feared a lot that whether I can learn or not. But after watching your video, all my fears and doubts vanished away. You have taken perfect approach to teach the very complicated subject in a very simple way. Thank you so much. Your teaching skills are at the highest level. God bless you.
agreed. i’ve learned a considerable amount about Blender from CGMatter and Default Cube. i am indebted to the brave few who post such comprehensive courses and videos
I started following these individually a while ago and had to wait for a new video and forgot about it. Now I can binge it all. Appeciate the chapters and format so far, thank you.
The section starting at 52:00 is crazy, in a good way. It amazed me to learn what turning a cube into various primitives through geometry nodes is like.
Can we get a part 2 pls, and this series makes me feel like i am doing maths problems and you know how the difficulty increases as we move up the years/grades and as you move up further one understands maths and the beauty of it even though at first everything might look pointless or rudimentary, basically what i want to say really great video and can't wait for level 2!
tbh I have been watching your channel for the last 4 years since 2.8 was released. I hardly never maybe 2% tried your tutorials but still always watched them all the way through. I now have really understood that I want to learn geometry nodes and see how powerful it can be. It has always been so daunting. I finished this entire series and did the tutorial and it has help break down so much! Making it much easier to approach GeoNodes. Cheers
I just want u to know that u are being more than helpful bro! Your generosity deserves a standing ovation!!!! Thank u n continue to do a great job... Will be sharing this.... 🎉🎉🎉
allriddy got up to the part where you started doing the eyes and went on my own tangent and textured/added volume to scene/added assets = trees to scene/and did a render = I liked it and was confident throwing it together which doesn't happen often. I do plan to come back and go through the rest of tut.
yesterday, for the life of me, i couldn't understand the sections for the set position and offset nodes. put it down, came back to it a day later, and boom, i'm galaxy braining all over that normalized sphere and cylinder. one of my favorite learning techniques. so grateful to mr. matter for this wonderful course. when i'm rich and famous he'll be seeing some green.
I rarely leave comments. But, Thanks for this awesome, awesome video. In the first 5 minutes you explained more about how geo nodes work than any other video ive watched!
Watching this, still about 60 minutes to go and I am binging this. Fear of Geo nodes is gone and man it is so well taught that you want to sit through all of the parts from start to finish. Great great great work being done here. Thankyou
Hey man, loving your work! This is the first tutorial series I’ve seen where we get a full explanation of why certain nodes are being used! Cannot wait for Part 2 of this series.
I remember when I started using blender I was using this series by CG Borne on the blender game engine as my guide and it was just the most lucid comprehensively simple yet detailed explanation. I had never felt that sort of clarity and understanding watching a blender tutorial video ever since until this one. You gotta do more man.
You are the Ed Sheeran of Blender Geometry lol.. all seriousness, best tutorial i've come across to get me understanding wtf is going on with geometry nodes.
Toggling any signed numeric value between positive and negative can be done without clicking on the value and "actively" editing it. Just hover the cursor over the value and tap the minus key. ( *_Not_* the one on the numeric keypad, that has other context-sensitive functions.)
You should've mentioned that it was important to Create the three sperate transforms for the arms as that allows for the rotation along the location of the arms when repositioned and not the original origin.
Great job, as always! You could use a float curve instead of the map range for the animation easing. This way you have more control and you can "draw" more realistic or cartoony types of motion (ease-in/ease-out, bouncing, etc). Once again, excellent tutorial! Thank you!
I think your vid, or another showed how to add wear to the metal objects. This will be my next lesson, since I have been experimenting with the shading tab lately. I was just trying to give my avatar a badass blade as a prop for vrchat. On the top part, the emblem is made up of nodes, because the shapes were imported as a 3d object from Paint 3D.
At 1:26:19, there exists a “Name” field. In Blender 4.1, this field is gone. What do we do, in this case? [EDIT] the solution is to double click the variable directly from within the list. Very strange, as F2 doesn’t invoke renaming even if one of those is selected. It seems to be a UI bug that Blender overlooked.
Hi, thank you for your videos, they are great! I have a question, I want to store a value from one geometry node (f.e. a float) and create a driver from it, but I just don't know how to do that. Can you please help me? I'm trying to have something like global variables but I don't know how can it be done. Thank you so much!
Let's say that I wanted to fix the snowmans nose on his head, so when moving the head-object, the nose will stay in it's place on his face. How can I get info on the icosphere that is the head? (I'm not really interested in fixating the snowmans nose, I'd just like to know how to get info on the objects that you create with nodes)
Why you never show how the final model looks in the slicer? I wonder if that model is actually round? For me HueForge always exports square STL although I have an image with transparency...
Very interesting, however, I have a question: Why go thru all that work to create Primitives that already exist in the Software? Truly I learned quite a bit but does it really have any value besides the learning? Just curious. Thanks.
Since he is teaching its good to show the mechanics of how to manipulate shapes, so the work is just to teach about the Set Position node really and how to manipulate your mesh. You can just use the Primitives, I think he even said the Sphere primitive has a better mesh.
Is there a way for a geonode to only operate on a given vertex group of a mesh, where you feed the geonode a vertex group name as a parameter and the geonode can then operate only on that vertex group? Also, is there a way for a geonode to discover vertex groups on a mesh and get info on the verts in a group?
I am trying to figure out how to slice a parametric plane in vertical lines, cutting in multiple pieces. Then, being able to lay each piece down to export this piece to CNC. I am stuck on how to do this with Blender, could you help with this particular section if possible?
outstanding course, thank you!! your channel is the bestest. (as an aside, noted @1:31:30 wow so much easier to make a rolling cube with geonodes than the old way using empties, which I just did last week :D hmmm....oh wait, not exactly accurate bc the edges are lower when rolling than the resting face, same pivot point problem. hmm, i'll have to think about this. Math nodes can solve this :D)
Would it also be possible to interrupt the forward jumping motion of the ⛄️ to a jump stop jump and so on motion where I could also set the duration of the stop moment?
I instantly trust you because you're peacefully sitting in your kitchen, no cap on your head, no commercial, thank you for this.
You are doing the lord's work, sir. Thanks for everything!

Perfect. Just finished watching. We're waiting for LEVEL 2.
Is it up yet?
@@natsunwtk I don't think it is
@cgmatter would you mind if we asking for the update for the level 2 sir? Like, please?

Thanks for explaining the basics of G-Nodes, you are the only one that explains in detail what they are used for in any U-Tube tutorials.
I love the chops too, specially how you do them and how you confes you like them
9:29 I Love when he called donut to a torus 😁
I have been wanting to drive into geometry nodes. Awesome to see Default cube made a course on it.
I rarely leave comments. But, Thanks for this awesome, awesome video. In the first 5 minutes you explained more about how geo nodes work than any other video ive watched!

Thanks for this! Just getting back into blender after a few years and just knew geonodes had to be extremely powerful!
Hey man, loving your work! This is the first tutorial series I’ve seen where we get a full explanation of why certain nodes are being used! Cannot wait for Part 2 of this series.
Thank you so much. Have 30 videos saved teaching geo nodes, but this one got me actualy watching it. Well explained! Very good constructed!
Thanks for this very useful and accessible series, I was a bit afraid of geonodes before it !

OMG thank you so much I needed this editor so bad you're one of the legit ones and i respect u a lot for that
Great channel! Waiting for level 2 of this series! Thanks a ton for your content
You are the Ed Sheeran of Blender Geometry lol.. all seriousness, best tutorial i've come across to get me understanding wtf is going on with geometry nodes.
Got me actually creating things in blender in no time! Such a great beginner video
This was the tutorial I have been missing! Awesome work!!!!
i dont think i have ever learned more from a single video. thank you.
Finished the whole video.Really awesome.
I was trying to resize your screen several times lol & Great training btw, TY!
You rock for this man - thank you for making endless blender tutorials entertaining
wow...never got nodes so well explained. Thank you so much for this enormous knowledge you share for free. Left you a couple dollars as a thank you
If anyone had trouble finding the Mix Node it's a change in Blender 3.4 I was confused, then updated, and now the learning continues.
Waiting for part 2. You are the god of blender.
thanks my man, you always put a smile on everyones faces
God bless you bro! Thank you from SoFlo!🤙🏼

Brilliant series of lessons.
Well paced, just the right level of information and reiteration.
Great Job. :)
Unbelievable! Thanks for putting this out there! Very easy to follow!
Thanks a lot for the logical explanation of the very basics of geo nodes.
thanks man....even right from the start I didn't knew how build modifier works....now I know.
Great job, as always! You could use a float curve instead of the map range for the animation easing. This way you have more control and you can "draw" more realistic or cartoony types of motion (ease-in/ease-out, bouncing, etc). Once again, excellent tutorial! Thank you!

Too good video, I was trying to find out cracked, finally found it, thank you very much sir, keep making such videos.
For videos like this CGMatter Matters ❤
I just made my first donut and got this notification just in time, you're a life saver, thanks dude!
Great, great job!! Of all the videos I’ve been watching, yours is the best presentation, and easiest to comprehend. Thanks!
greater than at 46:40 is now called compare node
Really helpful! Great idea to take make that snowman since it covers a lot of principles.
I would recommend hotkeying the search to something like F1 since it will be unused by itself, but allow you to add items far faster than shift a.
Coming from Blackmagic Fusion, Geometry Nodes look similar (at least at first glance) to Fusion's 3D nodes.
I just started this video but I already love it!
A "f**king" snowman? I must have missed you making that operation. 😄
AMAZING WOWOWOWOWOW SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD
Hi, thank you for your videos, they are great! I have a question, I want to store a value from one geometry node (f.e. a float) and create a driver from it, but I just don't know how to do that. Can you please help me? I'm trying to have something like global variables but I don't know how can it be done. Thank you so much!
Great video thank you!!! Need a part 2 please
I am done... Best tutorial EVER!
You’re such a big help. Thanks bro🤘🏼
amazing that you are preaching this for free!! thank you!
Has level 2 ever happened? just finished this and it was amazing, so clear, I really need more levels!
It worked like a charm, thanks.
Ottimo video. Continua a pubblicare altre cose del genere.

LEVEL ONE - COMPLETED ❤❤ THANK U MR. CGMATTER
Very much Gold this is! 🔥💯👏
Great tutorial! really well explained Thank you
It would have taken me days to understand geometry nodes if this video didn't exist.
Finally finally. I am starting to understand!!!

Looking forward to part 2
Bro thank u sooooooo much I work's bro I look up so much tutorial and this is the only one that work
When is part two coming out?
how can i make it also moving and have rigid body by geometry? Thank for your awesome tutorials!
you have no idea how you have helped me
wtf, it actually worked perfectly
I am trying to figure out how to slice a parametric plane in vertical lines, cutting in multiple pieces. Then, being able to lay each piece down to export this piece to CNC. I am stuck on how to do this with Blender, could you help with this particular section if possible?
this lecture it is really usefull for me
Your teaching skill is mazing sir👌🙏
Question, when I searched for Mix in geometry nodes, it only shows me mixRGB and not the one in the video. Is there an add-on or something or what?
thankyou so much man, love the video, youre helping me so much sir keep the great work up
outstanding course, thank you!! your channel is the bestest. (as an aside, noted @1:31:30 wow so much easier to make a rolling cube with geonodes than the old way using empties, which I just did last week :D hmmm....oh wait, not exactly accurate bc the edges are lower when rolling than the resting face, same pivot point problem. hmm, i'll have to think about this. Math nodes can solve this :D)
thanks man this thing worked thanks a lot man love lots keepsafe!!!
Just.. Thank you
Would it also be possible to interrupt the forward jumping motion of the ⛄️ to a jump stop jump and so on motion where I could also set the duration of the stop moment?
thanks a lot - really exiting
Just finished watching
It's magical bro!
Sos un crack!!!! El unico video que ha servido
Excellent video! This is actually really useful! Is there a sequel to this? Would love to see it!
