Dance Dance Revolution (GN/Shader)

Mostly a quick doodle to try out the geonodes on the same project so this is a double release which also includes my old DDR shader(2.92+). The geonodes version uses named attributes so 3.2 is required.

5K (3.2)

No fonts required this time, since the glyphs are manually generated inside the setup

You will need to enable named attribute nodes for this to work(steps)

Character Ripple (Early Access)

Font packed into .blend (original source)

This will be up for early access. File will still be released on Gumroad in a couple days but this post will still be for patrons only.

Katakana Ripple (3.1)

Font link (not packed into .blend)

Any font should work for the setup, though typefaces with square glyphs / monospaced works best

Stack allocation (3.1)

Made with blender kinetic type (3.0/3.1)

This looks like the extrude node but is in fact scaling curve lines profiles.

To have it also work in 3.1 you just need to replace the scene time node with a frame driver

Black hole kinetic type (3.1)

This uses the same font from the previous post but it's also packed into the .blend

Loop-able raining instances (3.0/3.1)

Minimal setup for raining instances with geometry nodes. This is used as a basis for the meteor shower

Meteor Shower (3.2)

Uses named attributes in 3.2

Rain effect (3.1)

This is done similarly like the truchet stuff I have been doing, mostly the shader part on curves.

Lazy klein bottle (3.1)

Klein bottle with a couple of nodes, constructed from a droplet-like curve then adding a cap.

The initial idea comes from the following article (figure 9.)

Aquatic (3.1)

It's quite similar to the veins setup only that the lines are instanced on a sphere and the noise textures are animated

Charged (3.2)

This uses Blender 3.2 with the named attribute nodes, so to actually use those nodes you will need to head over to preferences, enable developer extras then go to the experimental tab to enable them.

Infinite Circuits (3.2/3.1)

https://twitter.com/cmzw_/status/1507694543860224001 

The only change in the 3.2 .blend file is the use of store named attribute nodes over capture attribute.

besides the geometry nodes setup, the material setup is very similar to a couple of the truchet tiling effects I have been sharing.

4K truchet tiles

Tested with Blender 3.2/3.1, 3.2 requires the latest build (enable named attribute nodes in preferences -> experimental)

Checker Floor

This is similar to the setup for the wireframes vfx file but also adds a background

Edit: There's now a better version of this(with a lot more options) on my ko-fi for free, check it out here! (demo tweet)
