Dive into the fascinating world of procedural tree generation with Blender’s Geometry Nodes!
[Click Here for Resource Pack]

In '3D Trees with Blender Geometry Nodes', you’ll learn how to build natural-looking, fully customizable 3D trees—from trunk and root structures to realistic leaf distribution. You’ll also explore advanced techniques like noise displacement, Split End Nodes for branching, and even a simple simulation setup for falling leaves. This hands-on approach ensures you gain practical skills you can apply to everything from game environments to stylized forest scenes.

By the end of our lessons, you’ll know exactly how to transform curves into optimized 3D meshes, map textures efficiently, and develop a node-based workflow that’s both flexible and efficient. Whether you’re a Blender beginner looking to expand your skill set or an experienced 3D artist aiming to streamline your process, this class will show you how to grow professional-quality trees with a few smart node setups.

Why Choose 3D Trees with Blender Geometry Nodes?

Professional 3D Trees – Ideal for game developers, environment artists, and hobbyists looking to create high-quality trees for games, animations, and 3D worlds.

Hands-On Procedural Mastery – Master key techniques like the SplitEnd Node, Branch Randomization, and Root Systems to develop organic, natural-looking trees from scratch.

Advanced Node Techniques – Discover how to distribute leaves dynamically, add procedural noise displacement, and generate complex branching structures using repeat zones.

Simulated Falling Leaves – Implement a particle system (Blender’s Simulation Zone) to create leaves that detach, fall, and bring movement to your scenes.

Realistic UV Mapping & Mesh Generation – Convert procedural curves into fully functional 3D meshes with proper UV maps and seamless material application.

Grow Your 3D Skill Set – Apply these techniques to a wide range of projects, from realistic environments to stylized fantasy landscapes.
