Procedural Tree Generation with Blender’s Geometry Nodes

What you’ll learn

• Design Complex Features: Add functional elements such as roots, branches, and leaves. Control thickness, shape, leaf placement, and the overall growth pattern

• Advanced Branching & Foliage Techniques: Use repeat zones, SplitEnd Nodes, and curve-based systems to create multi-level branching. Integrate procedural noise

• Efficient Mesh Conversion & UV Mapping: Convert curves to meshes and set up clean UV maps for bark and foliage materials.

• Reuse & Customize Node Groups: Build modular, flexible node setups you can quickly adjust, tweak, or repurpose.

• Animate Falling Leaves for Dynamic Scenes: Take your renders to the next level by adding simulated leaf fall.

Requirements

• To own a computer (Microsoft, Linux or Mac)

• To have downloaded Blender

• The course is designed for all levels, so no previous experience in Blender or 3D modelling is necessary.
