How to turn simple edges into complex pipe systems with the power of geometry nodes

Meteor

A personal piece. This one was a lot of fun to work on, and I almost cooked my laptop in the process. Damn you, volumetrics. I simulated the meteor in Embergen and then simply duplicated the VDB a couple times: 0:00 /0:11 1× For the clouds I used

Tutorial: Diffusion Limited Aggregation in Geometry Nodes

Tutorial: Diffusion Limited Aggregation in Geometry Nodes

I recently had the chance to meet the great Andy Lomas on a conference, and his custom CUDA code for simulating cell growth and diffusion limited aggregation processes sparked the idea in me to explore this concept in geometry nodes. Diffusion limited aggregation essentially works like this: 1. Start with

The Detective

I always wanted to dabble into noir type renders, and I finally got around to do so. Using one of the human base meshes from the official Blender asset pack as a starting point, I then modeled and sculpted the face using a bunch of reference images. When it came

Behind the Scenes: Remnants of Earth’s first civilization

Behind the Scenes: Remnants of Earth’s first civilization

Eons before humanity walked on earth, another, long forgotten, civilization lived on this very planet. They have departed for the stars long ago. Now only their ruins remain, sustained by a technology that humanity won’t discover for millennia. The artifacts were created with geometry nodes, the ground textures and

Wormhole Generator

Wormhole Generator

This was one of my favorite personal projects from 2022. It was one of the first scenes where I started to explore large scale structures in space. The earth textures were from NASA, I think. The portal itself were basically JSplacement textures as displacement maps, and the small spaceship was

Behind the Scenes: Alien Worlds - Jumpship over a tidally locked planet

This tutorial was previously published on Blendernation as a behind the scenes article ↗. INSPIRATION I’ve always been a huge fan of everything related to sci-fi and space. My bookshelf is piling over with books from Arthur C. Clarke, Stanislaw Lem, Pierce Brown, John Scalzi, Dan Simmons, Isaac Asimov, and

Mammoth-Class Helium-3 Harvester

Mammoth-Class Helium-3 Harvester

This was my submission for the September 2024 render challenge on the Blender discord server, topic “Machinery”. I didn’t get into the top three, but I had a lot of fun creating this guy. It did however win me 2nd place in the Best of Blenderartists 2024 in the

Abandoned Train Tracks

Abandoned Train Tracks

This was my submission to the March 2024 render challenge on the Blender discord server, with the topic being Nostalgia. That brought me back to my childhood days, where I would sometimes roam the old abandoned train tracks near my hometown. The vegetation is from Botaniq, the log is from
