Description

Welcome to the world of procedural 3D in Blender!This comprehensive course will guide you through one of Blender’s most advanced and powerful systems: Geometry Nodes. Whether you're just starting out or already experienced in 3D, this course is designed to elevate your skills and help you build dynamic, reusable systems from scratch — all without destructive workflows.We begin with the core concepts — learning the node interface, creating simple shapes, and understanding how data flows from one node to another. From there, we explore the powerful world of procedural modeling, instancing, attributes, field-based systems, and animation techniques.Throughout the course, you'll work on real-world examples and exercises that will help you solidify your knowledge. You’ll learn how to build efficient workflows, create complex 3D structures, and even automate modeling tasks using nothing but nodes.By the end of the course, you will not only be fluent in Geometry Nodes — you’ll be able to design flexible 3D systems, build procedural tools, and think like a technical artist. You'll also gain the ability to quickly prototype, iterate, and reuse your setups across different projects.This course is ideal for 3D artists, motion designers, game developers, architectures, engineers, academcians and anyone curious about the future of smart modeling workflows in Blender.Get ready to transform your creative process. Let’s dive in and design the impossible!
