In this riveting tutorial by Bad Normals, viewers are taken on a thrilling journey into the world of AnyTree, a revolutionary tool for crafting bespoke tree shapes with unparalleled ease. Forget scouring the internet for that elusive tree shape - now, you can mold and shape trees to your exact specifications, from filling room corners to bringing fantastical characters to life. This tool, meticulously developed over months, is a game-changer for creating trees and bushes of any form, offering limitless creative possibilities.
The tutorial kicks off by ditching the mundane default cube in favor of the iconic monkey object, setting the stage for a deep dive into the intricate workings of Geometry nodes. By harnessing the power of bounding box nodes, the team demonstrates how the grid system seamlessly adapts to the object's size and shape, laying the foundation for a grid extravaganza around the object. Layer upon layer of grids are duplicated and meticulously aligned, culminating in a comprehensive grid system that is as mesmerizing as it is functional.
As the tutorial progresses, the focus shifts to the art of precision - removing points outside the object's confines with surgical precision. Through a series of intricate steps involving finding the closest face and normal vectors, the team expertly navigates the complexities of distinguishing points inside and outside the object. By leveraging DOT products, a clear distinction emerges, ensuring that only the points within the object's boundaries remain, paving the way for a seamless design process. The tutorial's meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to perfection sets the stage for a masterclass in tree design like no other.
