🌱Learn Plant Growth Animation using New Geometry Nodes Features in Blender 3d || Avtar Dohla

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a plant growth animation using geometry nodes in blender 3d.

Plant Growth Animation using Curve Node

In the previous section, you learned how to create a tree growth animation. In this section, we will learn how to create a plant growth animation by using geometry nodes in Blender 3D.

Geometry Nodes are groups of objects that can be placed on top of each other and move together as one unit. The name suggests that they have some form of geometry (such as height) attached to them which makes them useful for creating animations where multiple elements move together as one entity.

Process

Import the 3D model of your plant.

Create geometry nodes for the root and stem of your plant, as well as for its leaves.

Set up an animation that moves you from one point to another over time.

Results

The final result of the animation is shown below.

The process of creating plant growth animation.

Create a tree. Add geometry nodes, add custom materials and animations to the geometry nodes.

Import your 3D model into Blender and turn it into an animated asset using the Geometry Nodes feature in the Object menu panel.

Create a new scene, then drag & drop your animated asset onto it.

Conclusion

Plants grow and change over time, so it's important to create an animation that reflects this. In this tutorial we'll learn how to use Blender 3D's geometry nodes to create a realistic tree growth animation.

Here is the complete Nodes setup you can see in one view and Easley to understanding.

I will show you how we use in video, I hope you like this, If you have any questions
