Geometry<\/h1>\n
Start with the plane<\/p>\n
Add\/Mesh\/Plane<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Add Modifier \/ Geometry Nodes<\/p>\n
Open the Geometry Nodes Window<\/p>\n New Geometry Node, name whatever you want, here it\u2019s Galaxy. We\u2019ve got two nodes.<\/p>\n The idea will be to use a grid and then distribute objects on this grid. This is an easy way to create arrays and in our case, a kind of geometrical spatial landscape.<\/p>\n Go to Add Group Output allows to visualise the result. If nothing is connect, nothing will be visible. Note that the first plane has disappeared. It is just there to hold the script.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s change the values of our grid. It can be done directly in the tabs or by adding a Value Box or\/ and an Integer Box. Add\/Imput\/Value , Add\/Imput\/integer<\/p>\n Now we want to put an instanced geometry at each point of the grid. Add a Mesh to Points dialog box. By just dropping the dialog box on the cable, Blender makes the connexion.<\/p>\n Now, we will hang a cube to each point of the grid. We first create a Cube, define size.<\/p>\n As, the cube is not connected to the output geometry, it remains not visible.<\/p>\n We add Instance on Points, so the geometry, our cube, will be instanced on each point. But first our cube has so be converted into an instance.<\/p>\n Create the box Geometry to Instance and then Instance on Points (it\u2019s easier to use the search box and just type the name of the box)<\/p>\n Connexions (to disconnect CTRL+mouse move)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Now we want to duplicate up and down<\/p>\n We add a duplicate box (Blender has no 3D array (🤔))<\/p>\n Point will be change to Instance. We can then connect<\/p>\n Now we\u2019ve got to indicate the amount of copies, direction and distance between each copy.<\/p>\n Go to add\/Utilities\/Math to add a Math Box, then a Combine XYZ<\/p>\n In the Math box, we change Add to Multiply and make the connections as followed<\/p>\n Now we add a Set Position to realise the copies. And a Value and an Integer to change the values fast<\/p>\n We duplicate the Duplicate group to duplicate in \u2013Z (down, instead of up)<\/p>\n The copy goes Up and Down. One Value is positive, the other one Negative.<\/p>\n Problem is, it is just one cube, not all of them from the grid. To solve that, we convert the instances into geometry.<\/p>\n Now it works<\/p>\n We hide the geometry to prepare the camera path<\/p>\n Create a circle and a camera, scale up the circle and set the camera coordinates to 0,0,0<\/p>\n Convert the circle into a Curve,<\/p>\n Select the camera, then the curve and press CTRL+P and choose Path Constraint<\/p>\n Click on the camera and go to Objects Contraints Properties and check Forward Axis, Up Axis and click on animate Path<\/strong>. Test with Space bar.<\/p>\n Ok, that\u2019s set. It\u2019s now possible de change the shape of the curve, the animation will follow. To speed up or slow the animation, increase the number of frames, in the animation tab:<\/p>\n And in the Curve animation<\/p>\n We add 4 points lights under the objects and 4 more over. For the bottom light, the colour is turned to blue<\/p>\n We duplicate the lights<\/p>\n Now same thing with the high light coloured in yellow<\/p>\n Don’t forget to be in Cycle Render.<\/strong><\/p>\n The render Engine should be Cycle, with GPU if the graphic card is powerful enough. We can reduce the render quality to speed up the rendering.<\/p>\n The camera should be panoramic Equirectangular, click on the camera to see the menu<\/p>\n The size should be 9000 x 5062, but it can be divided by 2 if it\u2019s too long to process.<\/p>\n Choose your output path and the file format. It\u2019s more secure to export jpg files that could be reassembled. In case of crash, the process is not to be redone.<\/p>\n And then go to Render Animation<\/p>\n Then the frame will have to be recut to the Coraulis proportions, for this explanation, we used a smaller file, but the process remains the same.<\/p>\n Open the Video Editing Menu<\/p>\n We load the film and drop it in a Channel and test it.<\/p>\n We will crop with the right proportions which are 9000\/1440 meaning removing 5062-1440=3622 px, devided by 2, 1811 up and down 1811<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n \/ Objects primitive \/ Grid.; We can remove the Group Input and connect the Grid<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nCamera animation<\/h1>\n
