Yo yo, had a couple people on my TikTok asking about how I made the growing flowers so wanted to put together a cleaned up version and share it
Enjoy!

Brilliant...unfortunately it doesn't work that way in Blender 3.4.1! But if you set the Rotate Euler to Axis Angel and Object it works for me! Instead of the Empty, I use the Color Ramp as an animation, setting the position of the black gripper to zero and 1 and also animating the color black on white, so the size of the flower remains the same! Thanks for the great tutorial! By the way, I bought the Friut collection - great too! LG Peter

Yeah animating on color ramp can be pretty good, just gets a bit confusing sometimes for me. Glad you like them!, Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or problems with them

Thank you for your tutorial! I have been working on repeating your steps for 2 days already and I am still on 1/4 of the video. I am a beginner in blender. Sometimes it is difficult to understand how you opened some parts or functions, so i google and then try until i get the result needed, it extends my command of blender even more. Very interesting what i will manage to make in the end of this journey. I also like your voice over, pleasant to listen. I will tag you when i finish my animation.

@cheuqs Жыл бұрын

You could try some tutorials for dynamic paint to a vertex group, Im not too familiar with dynamic paint but i think that would work, another option would be to just use a object instead of empty and use geometry proximity node like in my knitting tutorial, this would let you just scale the control object/empty so it would grow and stay after being grown but would need a bit of tweaking on the map ranges

Really nice tutorial! Got this to work on my first try. I was wondering could it be possible that the plants only wiggle as they grow and ease into being still once they have grown fully? So that it looks like they are wiggling their way up. I tried to animate the parameters of the plant's geonodes but they don't seam to affect the instances created by the Empty...

Trying to simulate this but instead of a tree bark, on text...I want the text to be formed out of vines and have this effect with some flowers and plants coming out of certain points for a logo...any other tutorials you might recommend on making animated vines as well to add this to?

@cheuqs 9 ай бұрын

vines are a bit tricky, ive been testing a bunch of methods and the 1 problem face is the branches move too much or grow with the plant (not realistic) but if you aren't going for realism you could just use a bezier curve and instance your text on the first curve (curve to points) then displace points on faces for the flowers, might be issues with flickering though

Hello, great video but the empty doesn't have any effect on the scale of the flowers, do you know what it could be ?

you can try to level out the map range values to where you see the flowers and slowly decrease the values to make a gradient until it looks good

hmm, not 100% sure but it sounds like either the map range values need to be inverted or just try to play around with them and see if it appears, if not then try ctrl+A on the empty to apply the scale (also make sure the object info node/ the empty is set to relative and not original)

Everything was working as intended but as soon as I got to the empty part, I'm at a stand still. I've set up the object info-distance-map range-color ramp into the scale of the instance on points node but when I move the empty around, nothing happens to the flowers. Is this related to @vacpw03 's comment about it not working for them and them having to animate with the color ramp? I'm using blender 3.6 right now. Unsure if something changed here post 3.4. I may also not be adding in empty properly. I just added an object info node and selected the empty but did you parent it? Thanks!

By reducing the density and adjusting the scale should do it

Yeah like @auxvisuals7967 said, Id try to change the density value or maybe try to apply the scale of the log. One last thing that might or might not work would be to scale the log down by 1/10th then apply scale and scale back up without applying the scale (might not work though)
