Blender Sushi related scripts. Mostly about Sverchok, Geometry Nodes, Animation Nodes, and related Python scripts.

blendersushi project

"I know how to Blend, a little."

Welcome to the SECRET VAULT of Blender Sushi related scripts and node trees setup created for Blender 3D!

TOOLS USED:

• Blender 3D
• Sverchok Add-On
• Animation Nodes Add-On
• Audio Nodes Add-On
• ProcGenMod AKA Sorcar Add-On
• ANY Node Based Add-On

This is an ongoing "ebook project" to share my brain and knowledge with everybody.

I am using open source Blender 3D as a tool to express my ideas and to share my endless study of everything related to computer graphics, animation, augmented reality and visualization. After a series of coincidents, I stumbled into very cool add-on like Sverchok and Animation Nodes and also meeting some awesome Blender Artists and Developers.

In the past I have a bit of play using node based commercial tools like Maya and Houdini. By far, investing my money and time on Blender has been a lot more useful than wasting money on unnecessary upgrades. I have used Blender ever since.

This freedom of expressions using freely available tools helps me a lot to really learn and play with ideas using nodes and a bit of codes. I gain more confident in programming, especially using Python. Even at a basic-intermediate level this knowledge helps me in creating a lot of things that is not possible have one is afraid and avoiding numbers.

I tried to keep all my tools open source and updated so that no matter what computer you are on, you can just install all the tools without worrying about licenses and dependencies with paid apps.

blendersushi's Issues

LIVENODING 611 NOTES / SV Cheese Masking

Classic effect of masking away some polygon faces using noise, but combined with LAPLACIAN SMOOTHING.

Fitting 3D Point Grid into Bounding Box of an Object

This setup should be related to the Voronoi 3D fracture thing, because the purpose of this node tree is to be able to quickly fit 3D Points Grid into Bounding Box of object. With some tweak, you can get the Point Scatter within 3D Geometry Shape.

scatter_points_within_bound_006_2017_06_16_12_35.zip

LIVENODING 627 / Animation Nodes Distribute Matrix, Falloff and Offset

AN_scatter_003_2017_07_17_09_34.zip

Congratulation on Animation Nodes version 2.0 for all AN developers. I think it is pretty powerful in many ways. I have a bit of time to quick look AN again, this time on my Windows computer.

LIVENODING 623 - Spiral On Grease Pencil

This is an extension and modification of LIVENODING 612 (Spiral On Line). We can make 3D SPIRAL running on grease pencil simply by piping grease pencil point data to generate circle for our spiral.

The result is pretty good spiral. Maybe not 100% perfect, but works as COIL.

LIVENODING 620 - Figures on Stick Notes

text_mirror_shadow_017_2017_07_11_09_19.zip

Got this idea from a post at Reddit of this neat SIGNAGE that works via its shadow.

LIVENODING 646 / SV Grease Pencil Curve Guide Particles

sv_gp_particle_curve_001_2017_07_28_02_53.zip

LIVENODING 626 / SV Stroke Splitter

snail_drawing_app_002_2017_07_17_08_06.zip

A simple node setup to SPLIT STROKES. I am using it for my WIP iOS iPhone app utilizing ARKit and I snapshot the scene bring it into Blender as DAE.

Love for Curve

sv_curve_love_002_2017_06_19_02_16.zip

Something about Curve object procedural generation, that makes it interesting to explore in Sverchok node world in Blender.

LIVENODING 609: Floor Map with Grease Pencil

gp_floorMap_001_2017_07_04_00_28.zip

Few things to keep in mind:

• One stroke for every wall
• Careful with the order of strokes

LIVENODING611 Weight and Mask Modifier

sv_weight_masking2_2017_07_06_02_12.zip

LIVENODING 631 / Procedural Japanese Paper Fan

japanese_fan_009_2017_07_20_01_23.zip

To model this Japanese fan, I am using following procedures:

• Thinking of animal hands with webbed fingers, or thin skin between fingers, usually to help floating in air, or pedaling under water.
• I was thinking, maybe we can just slice parts of Cylinder or Ring surface
• then I just separate the edges and skin modifier.

Pretty simple process, but the tricky bits is just to make this parametric. In Sverchok, the U and V of surface like Cylinder or Flat Plane Grid can be easily be separated, modifier and put back together. It's slightly tricky, but once you get a hang of it maybe not impossible to model every objects this way.

LIVENODING 628 / Using Simple Deformation Node Twist

simple_deform_structure_002_2017_07_18_01_07.zip

LIVENODING 638-640 / Points Inside Mesh ala Sverchok and Is Inside Volume ala AN

sv_point_inside_mesh_004_2017_07_24_13_18.zip

My feeling is saying that maybe I am doing it slightly wrong or maybe Points Inside Mesh has some kind of precision control... will investigate.

TOOL: ANSV Procedural Markers

My example proposal of a Procedural Blender Workflow involving Sverchok and Animation Nodes are like this:

1. Procedural Modeling in Sverchok, group the Blend objects (can be a single piece or multiple piece)
2. Procedural Animation using AN, in another Blend, simply animating linked empty instance of the models generated in step 1.

Of course there are many other cases where you might want to do Rigging in the middle, or everything can be setup differently.

Anyhow, for this Procedural Markers, this is exactly what is happening.

LIVENODING 629 / AN Visibility Offset

vector_offset_for_visibility1_2017_07_18_01_41.zip

STUDY: Voronoi Fracture using Sverchok Script Node

Thanks to Sverchok developers, a lot of complex stuff can be done in Blender using just nodes.

sv_particle_voronoi_001_2017_06_13_08_30.zip

One of my favourite is this VORONOI CELL FRACTURE. Having it available via nodes means we have the instant feedback and interactivity that is normally not possible if we were using the add-on.

This is the basic setup.

We need to have Particles to do point scattering. We could setup the Points inside Volume mesh, but that will require some other nodes, might try that at some point.

LIVENODING 643 / SV Some Kind Of Creature with Tentacles

sv_tentacle_character_002_2017_07_27_10_33.zip

LIVENODING 642 / Grease Pencil to Layout

gp_layout_003_2017_07_27_09_25.zip

I really like the idea of using Grease Pencil in Blender as multi use stroke generator and also as INTERACTIVE TOOL for users to pass data to be processed further.

In this video, I am using Sverchok Add-On to process GP strokes to quickly generate LAYOUT.

LIVENODING 624 / Blob with Transparency

watercolor_like_005_2017_07_15_01_39.zip

Can be better to make this looking like watercolor

LIVENODING 635-636 / AN Arranged to Random Transformation

If you wanted to procedurally animate bunch of objects from INITIAL POSITIONS into RANDOM POSITIONS, you can do that EASILY now using Animation Nodes.

No matter if you have 10 parts or 10000 parts of objects, it becomes a lot simpler.

LIVENODING 619 - Spider Spinner Thing

spiderman_webthing_004_2017_07_11_09_23.zip

This is another project I always have in mind: to be able to procedurally generate Spider Web spin thing using Blender and Sverchok Add-On.

Such matter is the perfect test case for Blender.

LIVENODING 644 / AN Animating Offset of Some Creatures With Tentacles

AN_alembic_offset_advanced_006_2017_07_28_01_33.zip

AN_alembic_offset_advanced_004_2017_07_28_01_27.zip

Here is an example setup using AN (Animation Nodes) Add On in Blender to offset ALEMBIC cache data.

LIVENODING618 - Cell Split Simple using Voronoi 3D

sv_cell_splitting_voronoi_006_2017_07_10_09_29.zip

This technique is a quick hack to simulate cell splitting.

LIVENODING 647 / SV Vector Attraction Basic

sv_attraction_demo_005_2017_07_29_09_37.zip

Sverchok Documentation on Vector Attraction node:
http://sverchok.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nodes/vector/attractor.html

Here is my quick demo using same example.

LIVENODING622 - Spiral on Lines Revisited Enhanced

spiral_over_lines_005_2017_07_13_01_38.zip

I want to totally explain "spiral" on line, procedurally, so I make this video.

STUDY: 3D Voronoi Fracture using 3D Grid Array (Vector P node) in Sverchok

RECIPE:

• 3D Box Cube
• Vector P 3D Points Array to fit the Cube
• SN Lite 3D Voronoi Fracture
• Use Move and Scale node to somewhat group and "center pivot" each grouped fracture points

vector_p_voronoi_002_2017_06_14_08_46.zip

The process has become very streamlined. Thanks to Sverchok Nodes and developers!

LIVENODING 614 - SV Grease Pencil for Masking 3D surface

fake_reaction_diffusion_003_2017_07_07_01_36.zip

Bone to Mesh using AN BONE INFO and SV

I always wanted to find a way to quickly convert Motion Capture BVH Data directly to 3D MESH, saving tasks of skinning, etc. For all kind of reasons. Perhaps we just wanted to visualize it quickly in Blender or perhaps we wanted to quickly emit Particles from it.

Although not quite conventional, it might still be useful for some cases. Normally you would want to prepare a mesh, refit the Bone into the mesh, and then skin the mesh for animation.

Anyhow, so I am using Animation Nodes AN Add-On and Sverchok Add-On in Blender to accomplish this BVH to MESH task.

Thanks to AN Bone Info node, we can source MOCAP data quite easily. And Sverchok can then take the data from AN.

[bvh_kick_007_2017_06_11_09_56.zip]

(https://github.com/enzyme69/blendersushi/files/1066329/bvh_kick_007_2017_06_11_09_56.zip)

NOTE:
There is quite a funny glitch, causing the dirty data to get generated over and over again, just keep in mind. If this happens, just change the GROUP NAME from AN. Before SV process it.

LIVENODING 616 - Procedural Mushroom... just the basic for now.

mushroom_study_006_2017_07_09_02_04.zip

2 Primitive Cylinder stacked on top of one another is the very basic of mushroom. Details can be added anytime as you please.

Procedural Low Poly Tree

We can approach this in many different way, but I like the semi procedural way, letting the 3D Artists to draw Grease Pencil strokes, which then can be converted to 3D generated tree on the fly.

sv_gp_low_tree_demo_001_2017_06_05_09_20.zip

NOTES:

• Skin Mesher from Sverchok needs to be applied to the geometry generated
• Think about how you are going to instance the generated tree variations

Knitting Pattern ala Entagma (Houdini) using Sverchok in Blender 3D

Was inspired by this video:
http://www.entagma.com/knitting-in-3d-building-a-uv-deformer/

I have not watched the whole video, but trying to tackle the Knitting problem right away in Blender using Sverchok Add-On, and perhaps with Tissue Add-On.

There must be a simpler way, less technical to achieve this...

LIVENODING 648 / SV Placing Random Sizes Boxes On The Floor

sv_place_box_on_floor4_2017_07_29_09_32.zip

This example tackles 2 concepts:

1. Resizing Boxes in XYZ
2. Placing each boxes on the floor.

WIP Converting ArtRage XML into Blender 3D using Sverchok Add-On and Python

I wanted to export STROKE DRAWING DATA from an iPad App called ArtRage into Blender 3D Open Source. This app understands Apple iPad Pro and Pencil pressure and tilt, so I think this is a great opportunity to practice my Python and workflow to parse the XML to something that Blender can understand.

I am using Sverchok Add-On to assist me to keep the node.

My code will be very rough but will try to improve it overtime.

DIY: Neck Choker ala Naomi Wu

Was inspired by DIY 3D Neck Choker by Naomi Wu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPtF5c8o-10

Trying the same idea, procedurally recreate it using nodes in Blender, using Sverchok add-on:
csg_naomi_wu_001_2017_06_21_13_04.zip

LIVENODING 634 / SV Procedural Japanese Torii Gate

tori_gate_009_2017_07_21_11_33.zip

I was thinking to make this AR Augmented Reality Experience using Apple ARKit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJd-k1jYaMc

So I did the 3D model using Blender, procedurally using Sverchok add-on.

LIVENODING 630 / Music Visualizer using Grease Pencil, Sverchok and Animation Nodes

curve_visualizer_music_003_2017_07_18_09_38.zip

What happened if you mix Grease Pencil, Sverchok and Animation Nodes to make music visualization?

LIVENODING 650 / Blender Dynamic Paint Playground with AN and SV

ANSV_Dynamic_Paint_Playground_002_2017_07_31_01_28.zip

I am testing some ideas on what will happen if we mix Sverchok nodes, Animation Nodes, and Blender Dynamic Paint. Letting them play in the same playground.

Procedural Greeble

This is one topic that keeps looping inside my head. I wanted to be able to generate greeble map using procedural means, potentially we get a powerful setup simply by using nodes.

I say, Tissue and Sverchok Add-On are probably perfect for this.

First of all, I need to gather all the source related to this method.

The idea is to have top down version of some kind of GREEBLE mapper. 3D objects, scattered into planar mesh and then we will turn it into hires map for displacement.

This Blendswap is a PERFECT example, basically providing lots of detailed greebles objects as Particles to be rendered out as map.

TOOL: Simple Basic Terrain Setup

terrain_simple_001_2017_06_20_10_54.zip

A simple Sverchok node tree basic setup to generate 3D Terrain as a block that you can use right away for dynamic simulation.

Inspired by Houdini Terrain and Mountain node.

Procedural City and CITY GML

Maybe at some point I will check this:

LIVENODING 641 / ANSV Shelling Effects Advanced

ansv_shelling_003_2017_07_26_01_26.zip

This "SHELLING" effects is using a few procedure:

• Blender Particles and Explode Modifier to separate shells
• Sverchok Nodes to Separate and Randomize the shapes
• Animation Nodes to do the procedural animations of each shell pieces.

SV Subdivision and Transition

Was asked by a friend how to create this:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/llVXRd

I think there is some kind of shader trick happening there.

But if we were to do it procedurally probably involving some kind of SUBDIVIDING on the fly and TRANSITION.

icosphere_hack_002_2017_07_05_08_59.zip

Somewhat, we need to find a nice spot to to interpolation to subdivided form, without popping.

I still need to think.

LIVENODING 649 / ANSV Blender Particles Playground

There are huge potential usage of Particles with Animation Nodes and Sverchok. I think I am not the only person with this idea.

Anyhow, let start simple, just a quick simple setup using AN and SV, to make this rather interesting looking generator.

ANSV_particle_playgroud_003_2017_07_30_12_16.zip

STUDY: Monad and Loop

monad_circle_improv_003_2017_06_22_01_52.zip

Still not quite sure what to make for this. Fractal or kaleidoscope.

Powerful, but yet complex unless someone gives some examples.
