Hey! Im very happy that other people are finding this video to be precise, but I really, really struggled to follow along. It would be a huge help of instead of saying 'plug this in here' or 'just drop that here' if you were to say *where* it's being droppped. I don't have access to a large screen, and it can be v hard to read in all the visual noise where things are supposed to go. Thanks again for the tutorial!

41:00 On 4.0.1 for some reason 2 Nodegroups acted like 3. And 3 on my side acted like 7 on your side, not rendering and lagging. Not sure if I connected something wrong but Realize instances solves the issue and less nodes for me anyway I guess

@32:35 - just wanted to add a note that I think this piece was incorrect. The offset is gonna be Z only no matter what as the X and Y are explicitly set 0 (no offset). I do see though why realize instances was needed (rotation/scale). This is something I believe a "non geonodes 'instance' allows maybe, but not a geonodes instance - not sure? I would think an instance would allow rotation and scaling, but it's clear to see that they aren't affecting it before the realize instances - but also not related to the noise texture. Maybe position is the only thing a geonodes instance carries at this point? not sure

Right after you create the group and start removing the unneeded items from the input, in current Blender I don't have "Instance" like you (one of the three you left), and it immediately breaks everything. Any idea how to work around this?

If you realize the instances, you can right click on the object and convert it to a mesh. Then you can save it or alter it like any other mesh.

Love this video. I learned far more that I was expecting to. I ran into trouble when I was trying to change the shape on the surface of the sphere from cone to cube. Each object is progressively rotated about it's zaxis around the surface of the sphere. I know I need to add a Rotate Instances after Instance on Points and I know I need to apply a rotation to the z-axis only. I just don't know how to calculate the appropriate value. Am I missing something obvious? i.imgur.com/mJgMORN.png
