    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… Read more

    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… Read more

    This is a drain effect that I often use in order to illustrate muscle theft. This is made out of Some Geometry Nodes Bullshit that basically generates points in an area around an origin object, and then those points fly towards a target object. You can set an object to act as a collider, which… Read more

    Mapping node: What is it? The Mapping node is super helpful! It lets you transform images by moving their Location, Scale, and Rotation. With other textures and numerical inputs, you can do all kinds of fun distortions to images! I like using it best with generated images, like a Noise Texture or a Gradient Texture.… Read more
