| Abstract: | Unlock the potential of procedural 3D design with Blender 4.4's powerful Geometry Nodes system. This course begins by laying a solid foundation--guiding you through Blender setup, workspace optimization, and your first scatter--while introducing the fundamentals of how Geometry Nodes operate. You'll gain an early understanding of instancing, modeling integration, and data flow as essential building blocks. The core of the course centers on building a detailed glade scene using procedural methods. You'll explore displacement, animated wind effects, scattering, and vertex group control, learning how each node contributes to a responsive, dynamic environment. Concepts like ray casting, proximity detection, and spline-based movement are introduced as your scene gains complexity, enhancing both technical fluency and creative direction. As the project evolves, you'll implement procedural animation and advanced instancing to bring life to your environment with birds, lamps, and billboards. The course wraps with creative challenges that reinforce what you've learned and inspire further exploration. By the end, you'll be equipped to design and animate rich, modular scenes using a node-based workflow that scales with your creativity.

What you will learn Set up a Geometry Nodes workflow in Blender 4.4 Design procedural environments using instancing and scattering Animate objects using noise, splines, and looping logic Use advanced nodes like Ray Cast and Proximity effectively Build optimized, modular node systems for complex scenes Troubleshoot node setups and debug procedural logic efficiently Audience This course is tailored for intermediate Blender users familiar with basic modeling and navigation. No prior experience with Geometry Nodes is required, though general understanding of Blender's interface and 3D concepts will help accelerate learning.
