GeoNoding Adventure | Procedural Tentacles with Geometry Nodes in Blender 3.1
In this GeoNoding Adventure I talk about how I ended up making procedural tentacles and the process of discovery that led to the final result!
As usual, all the .blend files shown in the video are available on my Patreon, and this time it includes the file with the intro animation (among other things)!
