The beard was cg this entire time

When he's shaved, he just looks like a normal teenager

TLDR his beard and hair were procedural geometry node trickery

I'm so confused, who is this guy? what happend to the caverman dude, he was so cool ooooohhh there he is

Where is the video where CGMatter got the homeless man makeover? Great job! Went from homeless to finance-fresh in one video 😂

you forgor "ive been cgmatter, youve been you, bye bye"

If you could animate a water droplet collect others and drip down this would be OP.

For those who are facing the issue of Object's UV material being over-ride by geometry node, the solution is quite simple. 1) Open shader editor 2) Replace "Texture coordinate" node with "Attribute" node and join the vector to vector of "Mapping" node. 3) Type "UVMap" or "uv_map" in the name text field of "Attribute" node. The name is actually an attribute which can also be seen from spreadsheet against "Face corner" tab. Make sure to use "Realize Instances" before "Set material" node.

Where is the old homeless guy who usually appears on this youtube channel? He was replaced by this handsome dude?

Instead of adding more edges in 6:30, you can use crease (ctrl+e) to add more weight to the loop and force subdivision to divide closer to the edge with crease. Adding crease also allows you to use it as parameter in nodes - and who knows what you can do there with that :)

Looks like you’re back to civilization

Oh this is perfect! Nice hair btw

What? Took me a while to realize this isnt a re-published video from 2015.

I've watched a lot of tutorials on water droplets, but this one is definitely the greatest.

His beard has migrated to the microphone. Excellent CGI!

that’s quite the microphone you got there

Almost dismissed it thinking it was an older video. Great tutorial as always!

Looking good, my dude!

The only sponsored segments i don't skip are CGMatter's, literally.

This video is fantastic. Thank you for making and sharing it

Great tutorial! Thanks for that :) However, as someone who's been struggling to find a realistic, customizable solution for droplets in geometry nodes, I'd say - and I think I speak for a lot of people looking into the subject - THE most important part of this process is figuring out how to do the intersecting droplets. It is something that in my and my clients' opinion can make or break the final image. I know Poisson disk offers a very limited solution with the minimum distance input. But you mentioned something with converting the points to volume and back to mesh to sort of achieve the same results Metaballs could achieve. In short, if you had a solution for how to convincingly fix the overlapping droplets, it would be a game changer. For real. Hope you have the time to read this and perhaps work on a chapter 2 of this tutorial including the overlapping issue (and maybe as a bonus droplet trails!) :D Thanks again for all the effort you put into these videos. You are a true force in the Blender community! Cheers

Dude. Thank you SO MUCH for this. I've shied away from nodes in general because math scares me lol, but you explained how everything works SO well. I actually feel like I have a pretty decent handle on how to use this kind of system for my own purposes -- thank you!!

Awesome. So glad to see you creating this kind of content again. Your long-form tutorials are great. More of this please!

Wow. Did not know you could use a formula like "0.1/2" as a value. That is neat. Thank you!

dude's so good with blender his age is also procedural, he can just turn his "hairiness" output down and becomes a teenager lmao

Lot of help for me ! Thank you!

Hope the court appearance went well

The first geometry node tutorial I wanna make my own. I watch them mostly just for entertainment but this can be helpful in many ways :)

This was just so well done and super helpful for me!

you explained it so damn clearly man!! well done!

Thankyou for amazing tutorial, Love geometry node

Thanks for this amazing tutorial

CGMatter looks he takes a bath every single day now.

Thanks this was a very good tutorial. I learned alot from this. Keep up the good work.

Damn our boi looking good today

Very nicely presented, thanks man!

Seriously great tutorial. Even newbie can follow along quite easily.

Great detail in your explanation

Great job on this example, and also you're looking cute with the new hair and clean shave. :)

Whow! There's a weasel on your face! xD thanks for the effect bro.

I stopped just to say that i love that mic filter on headset.

Great tutorial man. I would've used a metaball as the instance. that way when two of them are close together they jon like actual water droplets.

Genius Tutorial as usual!

Nice tutorial, and nice Andrew Price look.

thank you for this! :) and pls take care !

I love new approach, Where are you explain everything, like for dummys. (something you previously was never care off) tnx, great, comprehensive and coherent knowledge.

The giant deatcat on his mic ALMOST looks like his beard and makes me feel like I'm still watching a homeless man teach me nodes. I'm not mad, but I miss my homeless friend.

Youll always be my dirty santa

Nice new haircut! Finally not just the razor 😉 great tut also, keep it up man!

looking good, king.

I'm sure it was much warmer having a beard outside in this is kind of weather ☺️ kudos and the tutorial is wicked, as usual

In two years, first person shooter maps will be 100% procedural.

I like your new geometry nodes hair cut

Real Man of Genius

Looking at the thumbnail and legit thinking, "who is this handsome guy and why did I subscribe to him?" 🤣

I like your previous look. It was like real freedom and person with brain who likes to invent new things. A creative person.

You somehow seem like an older bart simpson ,so cool

kinda miss the vlogging in the woods, but this was real good. planning on walking across the state again?

Finally he made enough money to get a shave and hair cut. Good tutorial as usual.

i used merge by distance after join geometry to get the overlapping droplets to merge. worked quite well. mesh to volume almost does a good job but it was too heavy for my pc, it was crashing all the time

next level is the kind of trail the drops leave as they drip down the side of the can cutting through the mist layer that forms across the surface

I like the really puffy mic to make up for all the hair you cut.

Nice cut G

Great haircut and shave!

I've dropped using the color ramp for roughness noise... to much of a pain to tweak. I prefer going into a Map Range (0 to 1 in -1 to 1 out) and then a Multiply/Add. Set your general roughness on the Add input and your variation range on the Multiply input. Much faster to make changes in real time...

This is gonna be great for adding sweat to uh... a specific type of model... yeaaah.

Got to the section where I add transmission to the droplets to make them transparent, having an issue where the droplets are black when the can is directly behind when rendered in Cycles. Although in Evee there is not that issue

that can is satisfyingly seamless

Does the scale of your original Can, effect the distribution of the instances on points for the Geometry nodes? I have an issue where when I change the scale of the droplets before the set position node @ (24:36) my droplets don't distort on the location of the instance but they scretch along the Can's local y axis. I've double checked the node connections but everything is the same except I used my own can model, what could I try?

Thought this was an old video reuploaded then realized he's talking about geometry nodes

Dang it now I desperately want to know how to join the water droplets and if I can use the water intersection with the can to generate 0 roughness reflectivity in the can texture.

any idea why the last step of adding the fresnel on the water texture is just not working? like it seems the actual specular itself is not working at all on my texture. i try plugging in the color ramp node to see if changing the color will do anything, and it does literally nothing. is my material just bugged?

wish I knew a shortcut that worked to select a loop of geometry like edges, verts, or faces. All the ones I hear about don't seem to work.

awesome! can you make do a tutorial how made animation with a Droplet Trails with geometry nodes? sorry for my english)

Hello. Great tutorial. but I have a problem. After I connect de scale vector into the offset, the droplets get an offset from the can.

So selection seems to break my UV wrapping. So is it possible to do this while also UV wrapping a label onto the can? Is there any great upside to doing this rather than straight particle effects?

hey idk why but when i add the vector math node for the rotation and the curve the droplets ranmdobly stretches , idk what to do plz someone help

Hi, great tutorial :D Just having an issue, when I'm using realize to instances node. It becomes super laggy, probably because I'm using a lot of sphere (trying to make a wet effect on a mirror). Is there a way to improve this ? Or another way to deform the spheres ?

Have all of the nodes changed a lot since this tutorial? I have not point distribute on faces option and Instance on Points is not there either thanks

I'd love a tutorial on the lighting setup

when i added the realize instances node at @21:00 the material that was added to the can disapears; can someone help me with that?

How would you approach 'dripping' droplets? Droplets running down the side of the can, picking up other droplets along the way. I've seen effects done in houdini, but I'm sure blender could do it too. Could be a fun expansion on this.

Thanks a lot

That is a mic and a half holy smokes

Nice! Would it be possible to animate a droplet running down the can with this method?

8:29 materials 12:30 geometry nodes

thanks a lot! I have learned smth!

This was a lot to learn! Thanks. I find when I add my Realize Instances node my UV map disappears. Is there a way to overcome this? Thanks again

I don't have "Scale" in the options of my vector math node, is there a work around for this or I have to upgrade Blender?

30:20 how would one go about converting this geometry nodes system to a volume and then back into a mesh? That actually seems like a useful technique. I tried doing this on my own and couldn't get the resolution of the volume fine enough to recreate the droplets.

I miss the caveman look, but oh well... love this effect. I remember doing this with particles a few times. Then I used a displacement map, which only worked on glass materials. It was a pain every time!

i really like the way u r using the rode mic lol

What is your opinion on Reallusion Software used for animation such as Iclone 7 and Character Creator 3??

wow, this one is actually beginner friendly. (i like the 1 min vids with 400% speed more)

Along with this tutorial, today I've learned one great stuff on the same topic... Metaballs, instead classic (ico)spheres, give (much) better results for droplets.

His whole beard is now attached to the headset microphone

i dont realized that this video on recomendation was CGMatter's video

hi mr. cube how are you doing. may I suggest you update this tutorial? the offset on the set position node now works a little different. even if you dont revise it, I recommend you revisit the use of the noise texture with the offset on the set position node as it gave me some really trippy, wave of flower petals kinda shapes.

I would Iike to see this animated with gravity, condensation forming, then sliding down and falling off the can.

You said I could use any version of Blender I want to follow along. I'm using Blender 1.0 and I don't see any of the options you're referring to. What gives?
