Nodevember #22: Enchanting

I'll post the motion version soon! 😄

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a black metal cauldron filled with a bubbling green brew. The brew is giving off a faint, swirling green smoke. Glowing symbols rise from the brew. The cauldron is sitting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "22 - enchanting" in the lower right.

Here's Nodevember #21: Grimoire.

I had no idea how to start this one at first, but it actually all came pretty easy once I got going. 😊

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of two grimoires. The grimoires are leather-bound books, studded with metal rivets. They are red with light orange straps around the tops and bottoms and have yellowed pages loosely sticking out of the stack. There is a pentagram on the front of each book. One book is laying on the ground, and the other is hover over it at an angle. The books are sitting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "21 - grimoire" in the lower right.

A bunch of procedural masks worthy of Loki. 😆

Took some inspiration from the Loki mask from The Mask, for Nodevember #20: Mask. 😄

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a wooden mask. The mask is roughly textured and has a blue-green tint to it. The mask has cutouts for the eyes and mouth. The eyes are an oval shape, and the mouth is a trapezoid, wider at the top like an open-mouthed grin. There is a strip of metal running down the middle of the mask, from the top down where the nose would end. It has four metal studs in it. The mask is hovering over a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "20 - mask" in the lower right.

Nodevember #19: Tool

A bit basic, but it's customizable via the Geometry Nodes properties panel, so I'm good with it. 😎

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a metal wrench. The wrench is cartoonish in proportions, with both heads much larger than a normal wrench, but with a realistic metal material. The heads are round and angled and have a square cutout for bolts. The wrench has a long, indented cutout in the middle of the handle. It is hovering over a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "19 - tool" in the lower right.

Nodevember #18: Rocket! 🚀

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a plant being orbited by 40 small rockets. The planet looks earth-like, with large blue oceans, green land, and a cloud layer swirling over it. The rockets are red, orange, and yellow and fly all around it at varying altitudes. The render is not photorealistic but has realistic shading. The planet is floating above a holographic checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "18 - rocket" in the lower right.

Nodevember #17: Helmet

And before you tell me, yes, I know the spikes look like... something else. 😆

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a spiked helmet. The helmet is a basic round helmet with no earholes or padding. It has a shiny green exterior shell and a gray interior. The spikes are placed randomly around the outside and are metallic. It is hovering over a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "17 - helmet" in the lower right.

How about an animated version of Nodevember #16: Drone?

The animation is not procedural, but the drone is! 😊

Here's my entry for Nodevember #16: Drone!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a flying drone. The drone looks like an orange surveillance camera suspended in the air by a single yellow propeller mounted on top. It has stubby wings on the sides and a pulsing green light on top. It is hovering over a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "16 - drone" in the lower right.

Nodevember 15: Trap

I think I had more fun making the material shader than the Geometry Nodes for this one. 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a rusty old bear trap. The trap is a circular clamshell design, with large sharp teeth coming off either of the "jaws". There are rods running down the middle, with the central rod circled by a spiraling spring. A round pressure plate is above that, held up by a short arm. The entire trap is covered in a thick rust. It is sitting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "15 - trap" in the lower right.

Here's Nodevember #14: Camp.

Sorta wanted to add more random options to this one but I'm sick of working on it.

It was good practice for custom shapes, mesh Booleans, and ray casting, though!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a teardrop trailer. The trailer is a yellow-green color, and has a large round window on the side, a rectangular window on the front, metal trim around the edges, a single axle for tires, a small platform in the front for storage, and a standard trailer hitch. It is resting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "14 - camp" in the lower right.

I got a little behind on my Nodevember creations because I've been busy with work, but I'm catching up. 😅

Here's Nodevember #13: Cabin!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a toy cabin, made from a set of interlocking logs. The cabin logs are brown, with a large, red, wedge-shaped piece making the apex of the roof, and green half logs for the roof. The cabin is sitting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "13 - cabin" in the lower right.

Here's a little animation of today's Nodevember, for the prompt "monument".

This shows how the radius of the monument can be changed and the setup procedurally rebuilds it. 😊

Nodevember #12: Monument, created after the Montsec American Monument.

This is my first time using text in geonodes. It says "NODI GEOMETRIAE OMNIA DOMINANTUR".

I've gotta do something a more basic for the next few. 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a monument inspired by the Montsec American Monument, which is a circular stone platform with a raised ring supported by a number of ridged columns. There is a plinth in the middle filled with rippling water, with a red cube floating above it. Text wraps around the top ring that says "NODI GEOMETRIAE OMNIA DOMINANTUR". The monument is a light beige stone color with a slightly rough surface and chips here and there. It is resting on a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "12 - monument" in the lower right.

Node notes 😎

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #wip
A screenshot of a view of a Geometry Nodes setup in Blender. There is a large block of text in the middle of the nodes that says "THIS NEEDS WORK".

Went a little cartoony with today's Nodevember, for the prompt "hive". 🐝

Will post an animated version soon!

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a beehive with bees swarming around it. The hive is golden with separate layers and looks sticky. There is a giant round hole in the middle. The bees are large, pill-shaped, and fly erratically around the hive. The shape and coloring of the hive and bees are not realistic, and more akin to a cartoon. The hive is floating above a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "11 - hive" in the lower right.

Here's my entry for Nodevember #10: Zip.

This thing is pretty janky and I'll probably keep messing with it for a while, but... it also sorta works! 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a blue patch of cloth with a zipper running down the middle. The zipper is a lighter blue color and is pulled open about halfway down the cloth. The cloth is floating over a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "10 - zip" in the lower right.

Today's Nodevember for the 9th prompt, "soft".

Originally, I was just going to do the soft cloud but had the idea for the lighthouse at the last minute.

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a cloud with a lighthouse emerging from it. The cloud is floating in midair, and the lighthouse is ungrounded, only visible in the midst of the cloud. The cloud is light with a slight blue tint, and the lighthouse is white at the bottom with a black top, railings going around the edges at the top, and a brightly lit light. The cloud is floating above a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "9 - soft" in the lower right.

Nodevember #8: Bejeweled.

A friend on Mastodon had a neat idea to incorporate yesterday's Nodevember into the crown, but I wasn't feeling that ambitious. 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a golden crown. The crown has a large diamond-shaped green jewel mounted on the front, flanked by small studs of tiny red jewels, and then large round blue jewels at the sides. The crown has five high prongs sticking up, with round balls mounted on the ends of each. It looks somewhat photorealistic. The crown is floating above a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "8 - bejeweled" in the lower right.

And here's my render for today's Nodevember #7: Precious.

I did this without looking ahead at tomorrow's prompt, which is "bejeweled". Oops!

Good practice, I guess. 😅

#blender #blender3d #b3d #geometrynodes #procedural #nodevember #nodevember2025
A 3D render of a blue jewel mounted in an elaborate golden ring. The jewel is transparent and shiny. The gold ring is studded and has various ornaments repeating around the edge. Both are scratched and worn around the edges. It looks somewhat photorealistic. The jewel and ring are floating slightly above a white and gray checkered floor. A white frame goes around the image, with the text #nodevember 2025" in the upper left corner and "7 - precious" in the lower right.
