Geometry Nodes – Generic Particle System
You ever need to use Geometry Nodes for an effect that doesn’t work well with the basic particle system? You ever get tired of building the same god damn particle system in Geometry Nodes any time you want to emit points and then instance objects on those points? SAY NO MORE! I created a simplified…

Using curves, instances, and emission to bake stitching and seams for clothing assets (Ucupaint+Shader nodes)
One thing I greatly miss from Substance Painter is its “draw on curve” feature. Being able to create curves and then use them to “stamp” patterns was extremely helpful, and it’s a shame that Blender does not have a feature like that. HOWEVER With Blender’s new raycast shader node, this is easier than ever to…

Energy Drain Effect – Globules
Another fun little geometry nodes energy drain setup, this time with some SDF grid fun! This setup distributes points either on the faces of the mesh or converts it to its volume, and then instances UV spheres in those points, which then are either attracted or repulsed by an object, and also have some fun…

These are new within Geometry Nodes and appear to be the Blender Foundation’s next step in supplanting the old cloth system with a new, stabler one, that works within Geometry Nodes. See CGDive’s video on it…

It’s one of many beaches bordering Lake Michigan, and I personally find their more enclosed nature to be very charming. For this scene, I used a lot of collection instancing, where basically you put objects in a collection,…

Mr. Badger and Mr. Behemoth Ucupaint nodes restoration
Category: BlenderI decided that since I left the two Mr. Dogs Ucupaint nodes intact, I really should go back and retexture both Mr. Badger and Mr. Behemoth to ALSO have their nodes intact. It was just a misstep to delete the Ucupaint nodes to begin with. I don’t delete Substance Painter files, so why would I…
