Yup, when I model it all, it will be a simple circle.

Looking great, everyone! @dostovel , I just added this tankard to my file, because every spice vendor needs to relax with a good strong ale at the end of the day.

[Omar Domenech]

Awesome, Dave, I’ll link it. In fact that just became your name Collab name for me, you shall hence forth be known as “Awesome Dave”

Yukino, we’re only like 0.08% there. We need lots and lots of details to make this feel alive. You know what I think of, anyone who has played Uncharted 4, at the beginning in Nathan’s Drake house, that house felt like someone really lived there with so much legit placement of stuffs.

[Cookie Dough]

Lol, I like it that way too.

[Omar Domenech]

We be having mugs. One step closer towards alcoholism.

@yukinoh1989 Yukino, a small tip. Try to place object origin points where they most make sense they’d be. For example the bowl, it’d be best if it’s on the bottom, that way using snap on a face it will instantly snap on the surface of a table or something like that.

Same for the whale or the thing with the hooks. If the whale is a decoration that stands, then the origin could benefit with being at the bottom. The dresser hanging thing would benefit if you place the origin point at the back, since that goes placed against a wall.  

[Cookie Dough]

Maybe I’ll turn it into a dresser, because you guys already have kitchen counters.

Want to make a cuckoo clock and was thinking about how to rig the mechanism, because I’m not too worried about the modeling, but this is something that needs to be animated I think.

Couldn’t get it to work (easily), but then I thought, hey, we have Geometry Nodes now:

The trick being that I can now rotate the Cube before it gets Mirrored and Arrayed 😉

[Omar Domenech]

Melvin is getting a cuckoo clock, cool. Melvin you can thank uncle Spikey. Spikey, Melvin says thank you.

Now I would like to know what exactly is happening there Spikey, can you break that down like you do the math things? Thank you uncle Spikey.

[spikeyxxx]

@dostovel it’s actually not very ‘mathy’ …the problem I was facing is that if I try and rotate something that has Modifiers on it, Blender calculates the Modifiers first, and after that rotates (for instance) :

And that is not what I want here.

Now, because Geometry Nodes is a Modifier, I can place it above/before the Array and Mirror.

In the old days, like a few weeks ago, this would take loads of Bones and Constraints (I think, maybe another easy solution would have been possible…ask @waylow )

[Omar Domenech]

Ok, I think I get it. I would have to push some buttons in Blender in order to the knowledge to really sink in.

I guess you can ask Wayne if you want a more global solution to it, since Geometry Nodes is very new and Blender only, but bones and rigging is animation standard and common practice.

[spikeyxxx]

It’s the order of the Modifiers that is important, Omar.

I know Wayne absolutely loves Bones, but I think that my scissors cut his paper 😉
