Learn to master Geometry Nodes in Blender with this comprehensive tutorial. Explore instancing techniques, from basic concepts to advanced applications. Discover how to instance objects on points and faces, rotate instances in normal directions, and scale based on face area. Dive into collection instancing, random transformations, and vertex group usage. Understand crucial concepts like capture attributes, instance indexing, and Poisson disk distribution. Practice weight painting, realizing instances, and applying materials. Experiment with fractal shapes and optimize workflows using node groups. Gain insights into instance limitations and timing considerations for efficient node setups.
