In this beginner-friendly Blender tutorial, you'll learn the basics of Geometry Nodes by creating your very first looping animation from scratch! Even if you've never used Geo Nodes before, this easy-to-follow guide will show you exactly how to:
- Create points on a plane using the Geometry Nodes system
- Instance objects onto those points
- Animate and move instances to form a seamless looping effect
By the end of this video, you'll have the confidence to explore even more exciting procedural projects with Blender's powerful Geometry Nodes!
Perfect for absolute beginners!
No previous Blender or Geometry Nodes experience is necessary—just open Blender, follow along, and amaze yourself with your first procedural animation!
