Pilgrim A quick attempt with nodes.

Found a huge pine cone. 3d artists, how would you approach modelling something like this? The arrangement of it's scales often follows the fibancci sequence and golden ratio (when looking top down).

This is fantastic. How complex is the geo?

Thank you. It's using curve to mesh so you can adjust it to have a low poly and high poly.

@ArtOfPilgrim can you apply the node and export it to game engine?

@ArtOfPilgrim Yes! You can apply it as a low and high poly version then bake, that's the workflow I use for Unreal.

@ArtOfPilgrim You geo nodes users can do anything

@ArtOfPilgrim How "quick" is this?

@ArtOfPilgrim I didn't time it but was under an hour, I've used a similar approach for some trees which helped, and reused a procedural bark material for the texture.

@ArtOfPilgrim Or just do what this mastermind did and save the two hrs of modeling time

@ArtOfPilgrim That node customization is pretty nuts, what software is this? I don’t know much (anything lol) about 3D modeling but want to learn more

@ArtOfPilgrim Replies like this is why I switched to Blender

@ArtOfPilgrim

@ArtOfPilgrim Is this gn skill transferable? Cuz if it is I can pay for a brain USB stick :I

@ArtOfPilgrim ...a quick attempt 🤣

@ArtOfPilgrim Briliant solution. Bummed that you don't have a Patreon

@ArtOfPilgrim This is a quick attempt? What does it look like when you put some effort into it? 😱😳🤯
