Porous material structures in Blender

A tutorial on how to quickly set up different porous materials in Blender using the Volume Cube node in geometry nodes.

My socials:

To answer the 2 most common questions I keep getting:

1) How do I change the colour?
Add a Set Material node at the end of the node tree, create a new material and select that.
*Just creating a new material in the materials tab will not apply it. You need to explicitly call it with a node.

2) I have my own geometry/model. How do I make it porous?

Dude, you are on the cutting edge of, like, 75% of scientific+medical fields. Keep going, Ryo!

A Fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much for putting the work into this video and sharing your knowledge.

Excellent tutorial! Everything is explained in the most simple and clear way. Thanks for offering it, it was of great help!

Amazing! I could not click on this video fast enough. So clean and clear explanation...specially liked the live playing around to get different results! Playing around with voronoi texture for scientific illustrations is a new facet altogether... Once again, Thanks for this video.🎉

can you please help me out if i want to spherical shape of the material?

[diegoabdanny]

Superb video, I tried and got it !🔥🔥
How can i apply this algorithm to not just cubes or basic shapes but to shapes like car wheel rims, bumpers, dashboard etc.???
It will be great if you can make a video on modifying this algorithm to any modelled shapes, thanks!

Thank you so much, SIR..could you tell me plz how to change the color of this final 3D porous cube

[ArKeTiCt]

Great job! Keep this up and you'll hit a 100k subs in no time !

[tuvibracion]

how did you add color to it? Thanks for such clear explanation

[Experiment_Explanation]

Thank you so much. I followed your steps and made the porous material. However, Do you know how to change the color of the material? I tried many ways but it did not work.

Thank you soo much for this video. Exactly what I have been looking for! One question though: how do I change the color of this porous material? I am new to blender I still can't figure it out.

[officiallibragamingchannel]

i have an existing object(torus), how do i apply the porous material geometry to it instead of the cube?

[blackswan]

Bro, i try to achive cake texture, you know the nice white looking cake base. i tried voronoi texture + displacement modifier, its kinda look like 90% real cake, but your methid now is this making 100% ! thanks sir

Great video, it worked for me! 💯🔥
Just one clarification tho', can we manipulate the cube to some shape and follow the same process to get the porous? Or in other words if I model something using a cube, fix that design and then if I were to add the porous, how much the algorithm would be changed ?

[ljingaod]

I want to do it on a rectangle but it stretches the porous thing. may I know how to do it a rectangle?

[RamKumar-limq]

Can you please explain how you achieved the animation of particles coming in? I am new ot blender and any sort of direction for this will be much appreciated. By the way, great job!!

[themilosgrozni]

amazing.
just explain me how much geometry does this cube have ? is it a single surface from all sides ?
or you have to subdivide to make this effect ?

[miao]

Thank you for posting this video, this is what I've been looking for!
But there is no "Volume Cube" menu can be found in Geometry Node Editor, what should I do?

Hlo sir
How to programming set for cylinder, it work only cube structure
Please help me
