Plant To Tree Growth Animation

Hi guys i’ve started modeling 4 months ago and my software of choice was the free awesome Blender 3.1. This youtube video shows growth animation of How a Plant might Grow Into a Tree using Geometry Nodes. This is like a decade long time lapse animation of the growth of a plant to a tree. I hope you guys like it…

You did THAT with 4 months experience… I’m impressed.

It’s obviously cgi, still, hollywood caliber CGI, imo.

hi thank you for your remarks! yes, i come from a software developer background and 3d animation seemed interesting :slight_smile:

That makes so much more sense, why the nodes might come more natural to animate the ‘texture’.

I’m actually jealous with what you pulled off here.

I just accidentally figured out how i could animate the texture by keyframing the texture coordinates upwards from a procedural texture i got from a youtube tutorial, and realized i can animate the factor within a mix shader to transition it from the green material to the procedural tree bark material. These are the only 3d animations i made so far https://hkunz.gumroad.com/
