In this thrilling episode of Ducky 3D, the team delves into the fascinating world of blob tracking, a technique commonly associated with touch designer but ingeniously recreated in Blender for absolutely no cost! Yes, you heard that right, folks. They take you on a wild ride through the four essential steps to achieve this mind-bending effect. From creating dynamic geometry to utilizing attributes for texture conversion and incorporating curves for that extra flair, it's a masterclass in visual wizardry.
But wait, there's more! The channel also teases their captivating series on After Effects and 2D animations, available on YouTube and Patreon for those hungry for additional content. As the tutorial unfolds, viewers are guided through the meticulous process of setting up geometry nodes in Blender, tweaking grids, faces, and noise textures to lay the groundwork for the ultimate glitch effect. The transformation of geometry into textures for shading purposes adds another layer of complexity to the already mesmerizing visual spectacle.
As the tutorial progresses, the team seamlessly transitions into the shading realm, where textures are applied to geometry, and images or videos are introduced to the mix, igniting a symphony of glitch-induced chaos. With a keen eye for detail, adjustments like mixing colors and scaling wave textures elevate the visual experience to new heights. And just when you think it couldn't get any more exhilarating, they dive headfirst into connecting squares with red lines, utilizing a complex web of nodes to achieve a visually stunning and intricate final product.
