i’m also quite embarrassed because i can’t do poo poo with geo nodes or extremely 3d displacement and am overwhelmed by the quality and talent displayed here. everyone is so skilled here it’s fantastic

I made a sphere, squished it, tried to scale only the top half ( > 0 ) along the Z axis but failed to find any nodes that made sense and promptly gave up. Might make another attempt later

forgot to post it here, but this was my "round" i tried to do a heptapod from "story of your life" by ted chiang but i 1. ran out of time and 2. tried a new method i saw a guy do in a video where you remesh stuff by points on faces -> points to volume -> volume to mesh. i hated that workflow and really frustrated myself halfway through by doing it this way, it was hard to work with and brought my computer to a crawl just editing anything. so at a certain point i just called it good and stopped. never figured out how to get the 4 digits on the end of the limbs

there’s a single random seed as a group input that randomizes the profile curve, seed positions and sizes, and the number of leaves and their distortions

Basically I just have this: https://imgur.com/a/YZmZHDM and want to scale just the top part where z > 0, so I guess I first have to split the sphere into a top and a bottom part, and then scale the top part, and then join them back together with join geometry or something.

inset posted:Basically I just have this: ok mate this is what you want to do:  your nodes may look different than mine slightly because im running a month old alpha build of 3.0. you'll want at least some sort of 3.0 build the idea you are going for requires you to use the position input field, which you separate by xyz. then you filter your z based on some math (greater than 0 in this case, but basically anything works). this becomes the scale factor into a vector math scale node. this ensures that whatever gets plugged into that scale node will only affect the part you filtered for. then for most displacement you dont just want to add or multiply your x, y, z because it will skew off in one direction unevenly. you generally will be using the normal input field and multiplying that with anything you actually wanted to do, which will make sure all the displacement is done in the normal direction. obviously there are exceptions to this but i find the normal multiplication is usually what i want. you feed all this into a "set position" which is the only real way to deform stuff in geometry nodes based on contextual calculations. the transform node will only work if you're hardcoding in specific numbers, like 2 or 6. it wont work if you're doing offsets or something based on the current position or whatever. in this case we're depending on the current z position, so transform is out and we need to use set position.

i mean, honestly none of that is very intuitive. it took me like 2 hours to figure out how to do just what was in that screenshot the first time but if you keep at it you'll become extremely nodebrained. call me when you start shading things and getting frustrated that the shaders distort and move around as you transform and deform your geometry lol. that one took me days to solve. (the answer i figured out is to capture attributes to compute a generated uv map and then pass that as a custom attribute into a shader, only works in cycles and not eevee). my bee's abdomen stripes were growing and shrinking and moving around as the wings flapped and i couldnt fix it for the longest time fart simpson fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Nov 13, 2021 |

oh i just remembered, i think instead of the scale node you can input the scale factor thing directly into the "selection" input on the set position. that probably works more reliably in this case but i'm used to using the scale thing because it allows you to use gradients instead of just a binary yes or no

day 13/14: green this one took a lot more effort on the shader side of things, less on geo nodes. https://giant.gfycat.com/FirstSomberIndianelephant.mp4 my favorite part: if you look closely you can see the next "layer" of the kiwi hiding under the surface, achieved with an actual real use of 3d textures for once in my life. https://mega.nz/file/5YwHxIBB#Yr9AEUvz9UD49pDJ7kpa8rsilVTXxod2Bc46ejTCP1g

Jenny Agutter posted:yo what the gently caress i can see how you might get this working. this is the logical result of geometry nodes for real non-nodevember usage imo speaking of. in most of my previous stuff this nodevember if i wanted more detail i'd just crank up the subdivides but i just realized you can do a bit more math and do edge slides and crap like that to pinch vertices together only in the areas you need. right now im working on a uv sphere and wrote a node group to select individual edge loops and then i covert to spherical coordinates and adjust the polar and azimuthal angles on the selected loops to pinch vertices together to get more detail only where i need it, that way im not ending up with 700,000 vertices just to do a little sharp edge in 1 spot

today is blue. i have a color theme it seems https://giant.gfycat.com/SerpentineThinAnophelesmosquito.mp4 biggest development i personally made on this one: instead of just cranking up the subdiv, i figured out how to "edge slide" loops along a sphere using spherical coordinates which let me pinch together edge loops as needed, keeping everything low poly. literally 50x fewer vertices than my strawberry or kiwi had, but i could still get a kinda sharp edge on the top where the skin folds over

the material isnt quite right there but its good enough for me atm. by the way, does anyone know how to give something like a random seed to every instance of a scattered object? i have a random seed input on those blueberries but i cant figure out any way to randomize it other than clicking on each one and setting the seed value by hand, so i ended up manually copying and hand placing/setting the seed for every one of those which sucks and kinda defeats the purpose of having a seed value like that imo. cant figure out any other way to do it
