About Chapter 7- Points and Instances
components of meshes in 3D are not just to build surfaces and render objects, these components can help guide other instances in the scene, scatter things around and generate points to build up much more organic, and complex distribution of objects. Today we are going to talk a few basics of object instancing on points

About - Geometry Node Introduction Series ( 3.0 Fields and Beyond )
Welcome to another short tutorial series about hot topic of the blender community, which is also the latest and anticipated feature - Geometry Nodes. In this chapter 6, we are going to discuss... a few more things about math, use the same nodes that we made animation with in last chapter, but this time use math, vectors, floats and textures to make basis displacement on a mesh. Basically , we will learn basics of manipulating geometry with help of nodes, and shape up some nice looking landscapes.

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

14:48, instead of using normal selection, just use index selection. and add math-compare node between selection and index socket, set compare value to 2. The reason is that: each cube has 6 faces, Python assigned six numbers(0-5) to each and every face. and if you change the compare value from 0 to 5, you will know which number represent which face. and you will know number 2 represents the upside face of the cube.

OMG I'm learning so much and so fast with this series, I might comment on almost every video of this but the enthusiasm is too much. This is so instructional it's crazy, and I am so confident experimenting with all the inputs and outputs of the nodes to understand what everything does in particular, because you explain so much of the knowledge base necessary to use the various nodes. Thanks AGAIN

[raxlyy]

Keep it coming. This channel has what it takes to go all the way. 👍

[johntnguyen]

This really has been a fantastic series..thanks so much!

[markonfilms]

This is just an awesome series! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this tutorial series!

[RealGaryGibson]

Those are beautiful renders and what a great tutorial series! So creative. Thank you!

[hpavil]

best geo node tutorials on youtube, thank you these are amazing!

[D-Amir]

Thank you for your great explanations of the geometry nodes. Thanx to your efforts, I start understanding the funktions of many nodes and why you want to use them. Most of the tutorials I've seen so far, they use the node but don't explain why they use those nodes. Anyway keep up the good work

[VrisToK]

Dude you are a genius.... 30 mins of the most usefull wisdom of this program than i have ever seen... and I am watching blender tutorials everyday, just incredible, do you have premium courses in any platform??? i really want to be your student

[abandohiker]

I just started doing your blender series, Its brilliant and im having a fun time learning, I just checked out this video that is almost 2 years newer, First thing i noticed was you really changed the accent, The old was cool but now you sound very clear, almost like it was your first languange. Good job on the channel. 👌

[DidierSampaolo]

Woohoo! I'm so glad! I couln't get my head around Geometry Nodes. This tutorial blew my mind. I FINALLY understood it. Thank you very much, my friend!

[nirmansarkar]

You taught me Blender man with the course available on Your channel. You're the real BlenderGuru and not the donut guy.

[brettmaddan]

this was awaesome man, I started on this video without watching your others and it was easy to follow so thanks! How long does this take to render on your machine, and what specs do you have? I'll being watching the rest in the series!

[investwithstuph]

fantastic tuto, thanks buddy I love it, just started Blender 10 days ago, i became addict

[specificless]

Your videos are so calming, I can't even learn because I keep falling asleep.

[violentpixelation]

Thank you for this well explained geometry nodes walk-through.

[wakegary]

Absolutely beautiful visuals. I didn't even make it to the tutorial for a while because I kept rewinding it. You have such a great eye for design. I hate to throw shade at Blender Guru, but you win my #1 Blender channel. Guru is a close second. Cheers buddy.

[iamthetinkerman]

You're very clever with this and your English is very good! Thank you for sharing!

[medhatmohamad]

very nice work! I think the power of geometry nodes appears with tuts like this. Thanks for sharing! at 13:15 I think another way is to add index node, pick it to be greater than 4 which means you are only picking the sixth face and connect the output to the selection. I don't know which is easier your approach or this approach but I guess both work fine

[dariooben]

Another absolutely fantastic tutorial! Thanks thanks thanks!!
