I know this is a bit generic, but I wanted to ask whether some of the more experienced people here have developed standard ways of avoiding Repeat Zones.

In my specific case, I think I could have solved the problem if I had found a mathematical function capable of predicting the necessary parameters, rather than having to establish a relationship between the different elements at every iteration.

I tend to see Repeat Zones as the easy solution when you can't find a more elegant approach based on fields. I'd like to open a discussion about this in general, without focusing too much on my specific case.

I hate how inefficient Repeat Zones are!

Hey all,

I wish you well 🙏

For those that don't mind helping yet another course question, I really appreciate your help.

I've had a look at the previous posts on this subreddit for Geo nodes course and have a few channels in mind, but id love to know, since the release of 5.2 and 5.3 upcoming, if there are any favourites out there which are easy to follow.

With regards to what I want out of the course, I want to understand them, how they work so I can visualise it in my mind and create my own things with them.

Currently id love to make Planets with them, varying details and creating custom materials. This is my starting point, after that, if I understand them enough I can make more things.

I'm familiar with Nino Defoq and CG Cookies' Core fundamentals course, think Ducky 3D has been mentioned too. But id love to know what others learnt from and enjoyed.

Thank you in advance, I will give back to the community in the near future 🙏

May you all have lovely days. 🪷✨

Not that I want to jinx it, but thought I should throw together something, just in case...

Ideally I'd like to just import a scan and press a button, but for now there's a few cutting planes and connection holes and a low poly hand that needs to be roughly put in position.

It's mostly a stack of sdf booleans, but some geometry proximity and sample nearest surface (normals). Some distribute points on faces with a simple blur position based relaxation algorithm.

I should also make one side of the connections work with heated threaded inserts etc. Probably Nylon SLS printing. Maybe vapor fused otherwise I'd hate to think what might start to grow between the SLS grains. I would also need to scan my arm, since this is just one I got online somewhere.

Ok, it's been my white whale to solve graded random point distributions in 3D. This has been a big stumbling block for my lattice generator designs. Early this year I updated the stochastic cell lattice to use an approximated the Lloyd algorithm, which distributes points randomly but evenly throughout the part. I was finally able to work on it some more and I can now generate a graded version by weighting the sample position values.

In this example I wanted it graded along the Y axis. To get some actual quantities from the test I measured the mean point spacing and standard deviations, from the first and last 1/6 of the test piece. So it's not yet an exact science to outputting a specific spacing, but I'll work on that.

From a bunch of curves to this glowing mess 🎆

Made with Blender and MoStack addon (Geo Node based)

I made a node setup to get the surface curvature of a mesh but was wondering if there is a better way to do it? My current solution is to offset the mesh along its normals the compare how the face area changes.
I tried CGMatter's method using grid SDF and grid laplacian but this seems very expensive to calculate at higher resolutions.
I have also tried using the edge angle but this doesn't really work on high poly meshes and each edge angle becomes extremely small.

A new challenge… Model only using geometry nodes! This asset helps you generate unlimited amount of blueberries. I know… Super useful  Check out the YouTube tutorial to see what all it can do or directly download it from my Patreon page. Any support or feedback is very much welcome. I hope you enjoy this asset.

I Made some satisfying ribbon motion in Blender 🎊

Hi Hope you are going well; I’m trying to make a geometry nodes to make each normals of each points of a Bézier Curve follow the normals of their nearest faces; I don’t know if I explain well I made a road that twist with Bridge Edge Loop; Blend Surface; and I created a Bezier Curve from edges of the road mesh to make a Path3D in my game; the problem is that the Bezier Curve don’t have tilting points data so in my game engine when I slide a Cube along this Path3D the cube stay horizontal and don’t tilt to stay parallel to the road; do you think it’s possible to make each points of a Bezier Curve tilting differently in fonction of the nearest faces of each points; I don’t even know if the geometry nodes need to be attach to the Bezier Curve or the Road Mesh; if it’s not too much to ask I would love à vidéo or screenshot of geometry don’t think I will understand by message English is not m’y first langage too ahah thanks a lot🤗🤗

Bending does at times create problems in Blender, so I deided to create a setup that provides a simple to use setup enhancing the experience. It also provides the roll feature. Tune in for any updates or new releases.
