Learn to create connected systems while you build a stunning earth hologram using geometry nodes in Blender. This course will take your skills to the next level and give you the ability to create intricate, multi-layered systems that will make your work stand out.
Standard video tutorials can be exhausting. We know, we’ve been there. The CG Fast Track tutorial format combines videos and screenshots so you don’t have to keep up with the video. Simply click through every step of the way with the screen shots. It’s an incredibly intuitive way to learn.
You will begin by creating a sphere mesh using interconnected hexagon shapes. Then delve into spherical projections, mastering the seamless mapping of NASA images onto your sphere object. By the end of this section, you will have developed the fundamental framework for your holographic render.
Next, construct a captivating motion graphics style connections system, characterized by organic rotation and randomization. Create a mesmerizing light ray effect, introducing randomized elements, and transforming a simple line into an immersive point cloud that enhances the hologram's luminosity. Then create a point system resembling islands, further elevating the hologram's aesthetic appeal and depth.
Finally, bring your hologram animation to completion by creating a custom group node equipped with controls, enabling the implementation of a randomized delete animation pattern across multiple systems. Next, add atmospheric lighting techniques and analogous color patterns to the shaders. Finish the project with cinematic compositing, seamlessly integrating all elements, and producing a full animated render of your mesmerizing hologram for a captivating and immersive experience.
