Hi all,

I had an idea about a magic crystal ball / sphere in a nature environment, lit by sunbeams, somehow overgrown by roots … Ended up that I worked on a geometry nodes modifier for having roots grown from one startpoint, to an endpoint using a specific path along or within my object. … This is the result …

Best regards, thanks for stopping by.
