⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

David - Blender 4 Modeling and Geometry Node Workshop

“I have all of 3D Tutors courses and have found them to be immensely helpful in my 3D profession as an artist/modeler. I found many of his tips (and, especially working through problems) have boosted my productivity. I find myself returning to the videos often. And, I just enjoy listening to the tutorials -- they are entertaining and educational.”

Seth - Blender Basics Geometry Node Brick Walls Workshop

“Excellent course! I really enjoyed that it was pretty bite-sized while not compromising on explaining why operations were done the way they were. Great intro to geometry nodes and a very useful tool created for future use! Would love to see more geonode courses from 3D Tudor! I have done multiple courses from your team and you never fail to exceed my expectations with each and every course! thank you so much for this and I look forward to seeing more geonode courses in the future!”

William - Blender 4 Modeling and Geometry Node Workshop

“Weather by Intent or accident Neil corrects many variety of mistakes that help to show different ways of fixing things, while initally frustrating to fix something that didn't go wrong on my end, this information was more than helpfull. There are also more techniques that he showed that are great additions to my ‘tool box’. Also this course deserved a review that said more than ‘great stuff’!”

Key Features & Benefits

• Bring Your Own Materials:
  Customize both the hull and timber with your own materials for a unique look.
• Fully Animated:
  The geometry node supports full animation, adding dynamic movement to your models.
• Easy to Use:
  Simply import a primitive and apply the geometry node to start creating. What used to take hours now takes minutes.
• Real-Time Control:
  Adjust hull settings in real-time, including height, width, bottom roundness, front and back separations, and thickness. Features auto-smooth for seamless results.
• Front and Back Adjustments:
  Change the shape from round to square, transforming your model from a fishing vessel to a speedboat and everything in between. Adjust height offsets for added realism or fantasy elements.
• Timber Controls:
  Customize the timber inside and out with adjustable strut amounts and sizes.
• Simple Capping:
  Easily scale capping to fit your design needs.
• Versatile Keel Options:
  Modify the keel with controls for size, inside and outside settings, front and rear extensions—allowing you to create anything from realistic vessels to fantastical high elven ships.
