Menno van Roon is creating Dutch Stroopwafels in Blender!
It's been a while! A few years back—I know time flies, right!?—I posted a video similar to this. Only for Blender to start rapidly developing Geometry Nodes, meaning that workflow was quickly out of date. Hence, this update.
Blender's latest Geometry Nodes updates make factory animations easier and more powerful than ever! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create a perfectly looping conveyor belt for your factory animation using a modular and single-curve approach.
What You'll Learn:
- Modular conveyor belt setup – Perfect for expanding factory animations
- New single-curve method – Simplify and improve efficiency
- Spline Parameter & Fraction Node – Key to seamless looping
- Scene Time tricks – Keep objects in sync with the belt Product looping
- Selection method to pick instances & More
What I'm using this for:
This tutorial is based on my work for a stylized stroopwafel factory animation, showcasing the process from dough to delicious stroopwafel! 🍪 The scene features mechanics, a stylized representation of the store, a secret recipe vault, and even a fun fair-like installation that reacts to customer delight!
