    Geometry Nodes Blender Course is now Live

    Stream this course today.

    Watch the Assemble Course Today

    We are excited to announce the ASSEMBLE Blender course that's a crash course in one of Blender's latest superpowers - Geometry Nodes!

    Geometry Nodes brings the power of procedural effects to Blender's modifier stack.  In this course, we'll dive deep into the ins and outs of Geometry Nodes and satiate everyone's curiosity about this new and powerful tool while constructing a theme park.

    Assemble a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster using geometry nodes

    A Ferris wheel may look complex, but it's mostly made up of several instances of just a few parts. It's a perfect example of how to combine traditional modeling and procedural modeling together for the best of both worlds! 

    This course is beginner friendly and is an in-depth introduction on a tool that is new to all of us.

    In Chapter 1, 

    We'll build the wheel. You'll learn all about working with the different geometry nodes data types, using primitives, creating arrays, and building a system of adjustable parts that all snap together, all while maximizing performance. 

    In Chapter 2,

    We'll build the roller coaster. It will take all of the lessons learned in the first chapter, plus a few new concepts on top. By the end, you'll be a master at working with curves as well as with nodes!
