Procedural Geo Nodes Sea Anemones - Blender Tutorial

Hey folks!

In this episode, I'll guide you through the process of creating procedural sea anemones in Blender.

We'll start by using a primitive object and geometry nodes to craft a tentacle modifier. Next, we'll develop procedural materials for the tentacles and body, utilizing attributes captured from the geometry nodes section of the tutorial. After that, we’ll shape a simple body form using subdivision modeling techniques, create an armature bone rig, parent the body to the rig, and animate the rig procedurally.

To showcase the versatility of the geometry node tentacles modifier, we’ll also create a second, simplified anemone body. Then, we'll add a geometry node particle generator. Finally, we’ll set up the scene with background elements, lighting, camera settings, and render settings.

This tutorial only serves as the bare-bone minimum, it's up to you to make it your own. I encourage you to explore, experiment, adapt and improve from what you have learned here.

Have a great day, level up and thanks for watching :-)
