Blender 4.2 Simulation Nodes – Master Advanced Simulations

What you'll learn
Create epic simulations with Geometry Nodes that run smooth, no matter the frame rate.
Master gravity systems and make particles dance like a pro.
Develop boid behaviours for swarms that act like they've got a brain.
Build killer particle effects to morph objects or simulate fireworks.
Trigger simulations with slick Boolean logic for smarter setups.
Optimise your node trees like a boss for faster, cleaner workflows.
Design interactive simulations that respond to their environment.
Switch between frame rates without breaking a sweat in your simulations.
Requirements
Blender 4.2 LTS.
Some knowledge of Blender's interface & node based workflows would be helpful.
Particles & some simulations can be slow to process, so a PC that meets Blender's recommended Specs is an advantage.
Description
Ready to level up your Blender skills? Our new Simulation Nodes course is your ticket. We'll help you go beyond basics and dive into Geometry Nodes. It's where the magic happens.In this course, you'll make simulations that work flawlessly, no matter the frame rate. Switch between 30 FPS and 60 FPS without a hitch. Smooth and seamless, just the way you want it.We'll teach you how to create everything from gravity systems to particle effects. You'll even get into boid behaviour—think insects that interact with their environment in a realistic way.Get ready to make fireworks explode like never before. Morph objects with particle effects and trigger simulations to start or stop with advanced Boolean math. Don't worry, we'll keep it easy!If Blender's regular physics feel limiting, this course is for you. We'll guide you to a node-based workflow that's more intuitive and customisable. Say goodbye to clunky systems.Geometry Nodes are your cheat codes to non-destructive workflows. They update automatically with scene changes, so you never have to start from scratch. It's all about working smarter.This course is perfect if you know your way around Blender and have dabbled with nodes. By the end, you'll be creating simulations that'll make others wonder how you did it.All you need is Blender 4.2 LTS and some basic node knowledge. A decent PC helps, especially for heavier simulations. But trust us, the results will be worth it. Let's create something awesome together!
