Welcome to another short tutorial series about hot topic of the blender community, which is also the latest and anticipated feature - Geometry Nodes.

Nodes are powerful, every major 3D program either already have a strong node based procedural workflow, or is adapting to it. Blender's Everything Node projects first installment is Geometry Nodes. Which is still at a very early stage of development, but can make life easier even with limited number of nodes we have a this moment.
It's fun, It changes the way we used to make environments, procedural effects, scatter things around. And not just that, with upcoming modifiers and many more nodes being added to it, its going to get even more powerful. So while the development of Geometry Nodes will go on for quite some time, its better we do some catching up, and start adapting to the new workflow.

This first part of Geometry Nodes series is for absolute beginners, Like, literally basics and no tricks or advance setups, This is for those who are starting with nodes and geometry nodes workflow for the first times. Well, Lets agree, it looks darn scary when you look at those big node maps, but once you understand it, you will never go back to old methods. We will start with creating absolute basic things , without touching the spreadsheet or attributes first. Main goal here is to get comfortable with nodes, know its meaning and uses, why it is better than old methods. Understanding the node based interface, adding nodes, connecting nodes, short keys, organizing nodes, making simple node groups etc. will be our first priority, from there on we will work towards using simple math in nodes, applying materials, using node groups, simple point instancing, Wiring parameters ,creating your first node based animation which you can apply to any other object with single click and it will give you exact same results. By the end of this short series you should have this animation with you, or even better example. And then we can get into a bit of rendering and lighting of this intro sequence.
Enough talk now, So lets get started and get our hands on Geometry Nodes already, and i will try to make it as easy as it could get, because honestly , I hate spreadsheets and math's as well, But there are always ways to find methods of learning. Lets figure it out together.
I will be adding new chapters in this playlist, to save this playlist for future updates

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this tutorial series for Blender 3.0) ? -
Yes, This is being done using 3.0 and latest updated node system.

2. Would this be done using old legacy nodes or the new nodes including fields?
All the examples in this series are being made using new nodes, not the legacy nodes.

3. Would this still be relevant in future versions?
In case any significant change happens, it would be aderessed either in the new video tutorial, or in comment section pinned comment such as this.
Softwares keep on developing and improving, so as long as you focus on the core fundamentals, it shouldn't be too hard to get the concepts through videos.

4. Will you be covering every node?
I won't be making video for every node, but plenty of examples which would cover use case scenario for all the nodes combined.

5. Will you be making motion graphics series with Geo Nodes?
May be not seperately but there would be plenty of chapters in this series covering motion aspect in Geo Node.

7. I have white computer one with CD Driver n Multimedia Speakers, can i run Blender with geo node.
Yes.

8. Would you cover how to make Environments with Geo Nodes?
Why not.

9. I can't see then nodes you are using in tutorial?
As long as you are using the updated version you should be able to see all the nodes mentioned in tutorial.
Also check the discription for version details, that we used to discuss the examples.

10. Can we make Angry Birds movie with Geo Nodes?

This is a perfect series for anyone who is daunted by Geometry Nodes. I’ve tried so many other ‘beginner’ tutorials, but they assume too much, and I ended up none the wiser. This CrossMind Studio series is carefully constructed from the ground up. It makes sure that you understand things at the most fundamental level, and then shows you how to build logically from there. It’s been exhilarating to do these tutorials because I finally understand how Node Geometry works. A thousand thanks to you, CrossMind Studio, for your generosity. With greetings from Cape Town.

This is the best tutorial on Geometry Nodes. I've watched many tutorials on Geometry Nodes on YouTube so far, however, those tutorials either covered only the basics without moving on to the next level, or they were excessively advanced, demonstrating the usage of complex nodes specific to certain projects. While we were able to mimic those projects, we couldn't grasp the underlying understanding, making it impossible to apply the learned techniques to other projects. While we were grateful to those tutorials, we needed something that bridged the gap between the fundamental and advanced levels. And this tutorial is exactly what we've been looking for. It not only allows us to follow along but also teaches us to understand the concepts so that we can apply them to other projects. It's like teaching us how to catch fish instead of just giving us the fish. It feels like a university course. I'm delighted to have found this tutorial and I'm truly grateful to CrossMind Studio. I've subscribed! Thank you!

A little over one year ago, I followed your beginner blender series to teach myself blender for the first time when I was really new to 3D art and yours was the first tutorial that I could actually follow. Now I'm starting my first studio job in a month and I'm going to follow this series to try get a basic grasp of geometry nodes before I start! Thanks for helping me out the whole way through this journey :)))

I was just watching the math nodes part yesterday and you'd just went in little with the explanation and i already figured out the idea, what a way to introduce math nodes, you're a good teacher bro. thanks to you and your team

[nishikantsingh]

I am in 1st year of CsE, using blender as a hobby to make some art but bcz you Bhai, I want to explore the whole of it!
