Wave Gradients project file
This is the wave gradients .blend file from the intro of the gradients tutorial.Very similar setup to the circular gradient one, except the base is not a circle but a subdivided mesh line. The first geometry nodes system adds a wave displacement, and the second one is a nearly identical curve → sl...
Circular Gradients project file
This is the circular gradients .blend file from the intro of the gradients tutorial.Made by creating a circular curve, then slicing it into a fixed number of random-length segments and turning each segment into a rounded tube. To turn these slices into tubes, Blender 5.0+ has a Curve to Tube tool, ...
Gradients Opening project file
This is the open scene .blend file from the intro of the gradients tutorial.This is the second attempt I made at matching the gradient style, and therefore the file uses different techniques from what I show on YouTube or use in the other files. I didn’t see a reason to remake it with the newer te...
Gradient Art YouTube end result
This is the end result of the gradients tutorial.It has some minor edits, and I also added comments in the file as notes. The main change is that the edge glow has been reduced in the center of the capsules, which matches the reference a little better.
Two Gradients Meet project file
This is the two red gradients .blend file from the intro of the gradients tutorial.This scene uses two of the same capsules we did on YouTube, and they share the same material. One capsule is rotated so they mirror each other perfectly. The animation made sense to do on the local Y axis. I couldn’...
'Cool text animation' project file
Hey, Here are the end result and the intro animation .blend files for this text animation:I tried out many animations and decided to first share this one. In the following months you will see me diving more into mograph, as geometry nodes make Blender incredibly capable. I see no reason to use After...
Glass flower project file
Hey! This is the project file for the glass flower. The same one that is used for the YouTube thumbnail. There is some postprocessing, let me know if you want the Photoshop file as well. This was a very rewaridng project to work on creatively, as it combines sculpting and enjoyable shader node work....
Trails project file
Hey, this is the project file for the character trails.I love this effect so much, I got the inspiration from the Major Lazer - Light It Up music video. Hope you guys create some cool art with it. Feel free to tag me - I'd love to see!Some considerations:Make sure your UV map has no overlapping ...
Massively improved Shortest Paths
Hey, This is the tool to make shortest paths so much better by removing all overlaps. It is really a miracle and I'm super happy I finally figured it out. Go make some great art, now that the limits are much further away!I also included the thumbnail file as some of you might want to know how it...
Fluid Simulation Project files
Hey everyone,The fluid simulation video is finally out! Two months in the making - cause I tried to do something that in Estonia we call "making bread out of s**t". Rought but true words - I tried to use a 2D simulation to simulate rivers and other bodies of water. It didn't work at all,...
Step Simulation Project File
Hey!Here's the end result of the step simulation Youtube tutorial.Link: https://bit.ly/youtubeendresultEnjoy!
Morph Tutorial Project File
Hey, here is the project file of the morph tutorial. Let me know your questions if you have any!I have included two files, one for Blender 3.5, which supports the Blur Attribute, and one for 3.4/3.3 which doesn't have smoothing and is using the old Transfer Attribute method instead of Sample Nea...
The morph tutorial sneak peek
Hey, the morph tutorial is on it's way and I wanted to share the result with you!See you soon in the video!
A cool morphing effect!
I've been thinking about making a morphing tutorial for quite some time, and here's my take on it. Would you like to see a tutorial about this on YouTube?
Anytree Intro is ready!
Hey!It's been quite some time since I last shared anything about the ongoing project.In short - the intro for the upcoming video is now ready.I want to get the video out before christmas, and I'm working hard to make it happen. (of course I caught a fever too to make the deadline even more c...
Character progress for AnyTree
Hey,I've been working the intro character and AnyTree tool during the last days and they have both progressed quite well. This is the tree character I came up with and I'm very happy with the result. The intro is 40 seconds long which is the longest (and most ambitious) one I've ever don...
Intro progress on Anytree
Hey everyone,As you know, I'm currently making a system to grow trees of any shape. I'd say the tool is mostly ready and, as usual, I'm currently production-proofing it by making an intro for the video. So I'm planning to make a character made entirely of trees. Who could guess that....
How to use the Shortest Path node
This is a detailed tutorial on the new shortest path node added to Blender. It covers all the inputs/outputs and explains thoroughly how to use it, using three examples. We will look at not only finding the shortest, but the easiest path to travel, and how to control the node to our liking. I found ...
Growing trees with any shape in Blender!
Would you like to have a tutorial?
4D Julia Project File
Here's the Blender file for the Quaternion Julia. You can just append the object into your scene and then you can use it. This is not the exact same one from the video, but instead the one from Fractal Machine.
The Fractal Pack is ready!
Around a week ago I shared the trailer for my upcoming Blender asset pack, the Fractal Machine. The pack is now ready, all the fractal presets are done (even made one 2x faster) and I got approved by Blender Market! Just 3-5 days before it goes live.I hope this allows many more people to create frac...
Fractal Pack Intro
I worked long on putting together a pack of fractals for Blender. No one has ever done art like that in Blender and now we can! More details soon!
Making a Dragon Curve in Blender
Since we've been on a fractal wave recently, and I also started to build a fractal pack for Blender, I stumbled upon Dragon Curves. This is an IFS (iterated function system) fractal and I think it looks pretty good in a Chinese setting. It's also a fun and useful exercice to figure out this ...
4D Fractals Coming!
This is the 4D Julia set fractal which is calculated using a higher dimension. So instead of using the X and Y to calculate the classic Mandelbrot and Julia fractals, we are using XYZW directions. I will make a video about them soon!Also I will make a Patreon exclusive tutorial on how to make infini...
Mandelbrot, Julia and Burning Ship in Blender
This tutorial covers the math and ways to showcase these three cool fractals in Blender.
Fractals are coming!
In three days I will upload a video on how to make the Mandebulb in Blender. Not in a volume shader but made of polygons!Also an exclusive tutorial on Patreon about the Mandelbrot, Julia set and the Burning ship fractal. Stay tuned and thanks for the support!
Hologram Tool & Project file
This is the hologram tool. Instructions are inside the file, you can write me if you have further questions.Also, it includes the video project file with grease pencil explanations.
Morphing from Simulations to Text
Here's the geonodes tutorial on transferring particles to any shape, it doesn't just have to be text but can be anything you want. Happy experimenting!Files:https://bit.ly/simulationorb
Orb Simulation Project Files
This link contains the simulation setup file, two exported Alembics and the final geonodes process. Let me know if there are any issues.https://bit.ly/simulationorb
Cool Simulations Coming!
With 2 million particles you can do a lot, and I made these beautiful thingys. This is actually very easy (around 15minutes of tutorial, 1 hour of work on your own) and you can get any shape you want - text, logo...you name it.I will have the video on these orbs up soon and you special people get to...
