Neuron fractal structures using the new shortest edge path node with geometry nodes in Blender. In this tutorial, learn to create procedural growing fractal tree-like shapes using this node along with edge paths to curves geometry node.
Get the Neuron Fractal nodegroup: straycreations.gumroad.com/l/neuronfractal
00:00 Intro
00:44 Modeling The Base 3D Grid Mesh
01:54 3D grid to cone shape
04:26 Using The Shortest Edge Paths Node
07:32 Make The Curves Smoother
08:41 Convert Curves To Mesh
11:13 Instance Shape On Endpoints So It Looks Like A Fractal
13:23 Fixing Turning Animation
14:16 Editing The Instances
16:23 Animating The Neuron Fractal
18:10 Making The First Material Example
22:08 Proper Branching Trick
24:35 Making The Second Material Example
28:32 Outro
I will be making more tutorials on Blender, specifically geometry nodes, AI and simulation nodes.
