ABSTRACT
Since about a year ago, the 3D program Blender has shipped with a set of procedural/parametric modeling tools called Geometry Nodes. While still fairly new and in development, the system has already unlocked several new ways for users to express their creativity and solve practical problems. It allows for the creation of new geometry from scratch, modification of existing geometry, and distribution of instances using a node graph. This presentation will cover those three major use cases, what's possible to create with the system, and demonstrate how to work with the tools by showing how to create a simple model generator.

SIGGRAPH '23: ACM SIGGRAPH 2023 LabsGeometry Nodes is a procedural modeling and animation system that has been part of Blender since 2021, with Blender 2.92. It was initially focused on set dressing, procedural modeling and initial hair grooming. However in Blender 3.6 similation nodes ...
Procedural Modeling of Water Caustics and Foamy Water for Cartoon Animation
PACIFIC_GRAPHICS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 18th Pacific Conference on Computer Graphics and ApplicationsWe propose a method for procedural modeling and animation of cartoon water effects such as water caustics and foamy water. In our method we emulate the visual abstraction of these cartoon effects by the use of Voronoi diagrams and the motion abstraction ...
Procedural and interactive icicle modeling
CGI'2011 ConferenceIcicle formation is a complex phenomenon which makes it difficult to model for computer graphics applications. The methods commonly used in computer graphics to model icicles provide only minimal control over the results and require several minutes or ...
