Hi!
I’ve a question.
With blender 2.93 I’ve created a simple nodes tree that let me to the hide rocks along a path.
This is the tree:
With Blender 3.0 a lot of those nodes are deprecated.
Now I’m trying to figure out how to do the same thing, but I’m missing something and I haven’t found anything online. At the moment I’m stucked here:
How can I influence the density of the instances with the distance attribute?
Any idea?
Thanks!
Did you think about using weight paint to do that instead of using the distance attribute? I believe you could have even better results with that. This topic is talking about instances scale, but you can adapt it for distribution, I think: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/228232/how-can-i-use-weight-paint-values-to-change-the-scale-in-geometry-nodes
I will search how to execute this in blender 3.0 cause it’s also different…
I have found the answer for how to use the weight paint for the distribution on Blender 3.0 here.

Yes. I just have found a video showing how to use the geometry proximity node.

I’ve made a test using weight paint to control the distribution and the scale of the instances and I really like the results.
Damn! @Benny_G you’re right! (and I’ve to remember to avoid to approach these problems too late after a too long day).
Also the other solutions are good, but I want an interactive way to do that using only geonode.
The secret is to use “Poisson disk” in the distribution!
Here the tree:
Obviously there’s an other way to solve the problem, mixing weight and geonode and still interactive, this:
Here you can download the blend file with the two solutions:

Thank you very much!
Really? Yesterday it seemed to not working at all! I swear.
Probably there was something wrong (too small or too big) in the file I’m working with.
Thank you, @Chanfiroly , for make me notice this.
