How to use the Index in Geometry Nodes (Blender 4.5)

The Index is one of those things in Geometry Nodes that seems simple but unlocks a ton once it clicks. It just gives you the number of each point, edge, face, or instance, and from there you can drive almost anything per-element.

In this tutorial I go over what the Index actually is, how to feed it into other nodes, and a few practical ways to use it to control selections, offsets, and effects across your geometry.

If you've ever wanted finer control over individual elements instead of treating everything the same, this should help.

Procedural Prismatic Mosaic Cube — Shader Tutorial

I put together a tutorial walking through how to build a procedural prismatic mosaic material entirely with nodes. It covers the shader basics and how the node setup comes together, so you can apply the same material to any object in your own projects.

If you're getting into Blender's shader editor, this is a good one for understanding how procedural materials work from the ground up.

Watch here: https://youtu.be/FNRKf5Q3AYA

Happy to answer any questions about the node setup in the comments.

Building 3D text with Geometry Nodes

Instead of converting a text object to a mesh the usual way, I handle it entirely in Geometry Nodes for more control over the result.

The tutorial walks through the setup: String to Curves to generate the letterforms, Fill Curve to turn them into a mesh, and Transform Geometry to position everything. From there it's straightforward to extrude and build out the 3D look.

Happy to answer questions on the node setup.

Ever used noise to control instance scale in Geometry Nodes? Here's how I do it [Tutorial]

Just published a short Blender 4.5 tutorial on driving instance scale procedurally using a noise texture in Geometry Nodes. It's a neat trick for getting organic, animated variation without keyframing everything manually. Covers node setup through to render. Hope it's helpful!

I made a text animation using only Geometry Nodes in Blender — here's how

Hey everyone! In this tutorial I walk through building a cool text animation using Geometry Nodes — no keyframe spaghetti, just nodes doing the heavy lifting.

I cover the node setup, the material, basic lighting and animation, plus a bit of compositing to polish the final result. Inspired by TheDucky3D's work.

Hope it helps someone out! Happy to answer questions in the comments.
