Intro to ALL THE NODES | Blender Geometry Nodes

Hi yes, Hello Everyone! This is the first part of a series I'll be taking into 2024 where we'll take a look at all of the nodes available in Geometry Nodes!

Today I just talk through the idea and take a look at some of the basic nodes to get them out out the way.

ALSO, if you're interested in my breakdown you can find the blend file here:

In case anyone wondering, the reason why Float can go higher than integer is because it is a value that consists of two parts. The first part is the value and the second part is basically an exponent that the first part is multiplied with. That exponent can be really tiny or really large, which gives you the ability to go to fractions or beyond Integer maximum. However that also means that float values are never actually precise. You can try and do something like 3.0 value but in reality it will be something like (arbitrary). That's why one of the most common mistakes in programming is when comparing float numbers to be equal to something, because 3.0 will not return being equal to 3 (integer).
This also means that as you go to bigger and bigger numbers your precision (the number of digits after the dot that are correct) will go down.

Cool, I'm looking forward to this series!

I'm so happy you included the breakdown in your blend file for us to peruse! Thank you so much!

This has to be done, thank you for this great work

[rodmileski]

You did a great job. Deserves more likes and subs. Cheers

[omaracosta]

Excellent Sir! Liked and subscribed. Examples with each node, would be great for us the beginners.

Thanks for being thorough and efficient. Most importantly, though, you took the time to cover fundamental aspects that almost all tutorials I've seen so far fail to explain. Your aside about integer and float ranges was perfectly helpful, by the way. I appreciate "peeks" down a rabbit hole even before a deeper look is appropriate. Great work and instant subscribe.

Dude really awesome 👏 this is really good you made and really helpful. I’m subscribing to see more from you 😊

I’m very glad you decided to do this 👍🏾

[EROS-SENPAI]

Thanks ! i am learning blender and i wanted to know the depth and how deep stuff is

[tribalwalkertribalwalker]

Yeaa! i'm the 1000's subcriber =) I'm really looking forward to the sample node's

[albarjav]

Ho, merci pour ce fichier qui permet de voir tous les nodes. Je cherchais quelque chose comme ça depuis un longtemps. Merci.

Great! Just keep going.
Maybe you should focus on explaining sockets in the beggining of the next video in this series. Shedding light on the data structure will make it easier to explain their properties and compatibility with each other. Round vs diamond. Single value vs field. Hollow socket: no value, no data type. Filled socket: embedded value, e.g. Position input socket of the Set Position node. "Pinholed diamond" socket: no embedded value, e.g. Offset Position or Selection of the Set Position node. When I started learning about geometry nodes it wasn't very clear to me.

This was nice ...going through the channel for detailed breakdown..subb3r !

[mrhollywood]

Tried to open the BLEND file but no go. I tried drag and drop, Import and append nothing. Any suggestions

[RobertPapaureille]

Hi Gavin ! Such a valuable work to come ! Wouldn't it deserve a better microphone ? Thinking of non-American people. Anyway great job.

I'm writing all these nodes in Unreal, as well as an translation plugin. Export from Blender, import into Unreal with a few clicks. ^_^
All of your Blender Geometry node models can run natively in Unreal, giving both the Dev AND the player access to the inputs during runtime. ^_^

So far, I've got ~40 nodes created for Unreal that exactly match the form/function of their counterpart in blender.... Only an absolute absurd number left to got -_-

Could you possibly be the new HEY Pictures? (Another geometry nodes youtuber) We'll see.
