BCS Geometry Nodes For Blender 4.4

Geometry Nodes for Beginners
Now fully updated for Blender 4.4

Geometry Nodes is one of Blender’s most powerful systems — a visual scripting tool that opens the door to procedural modelling, animation, scattering, and much more. But with all its flexibility, it can be hard to know where to begin.

This newly remastered course, written by Erin Woodford and presented by Mike Bridges, introduces you to the world of Geometry Nodes using Blender 4.4. You’ll start with a simple scatter system and build your knowledge step-by-step, covering everything from displacement and instancing to animation and billboards. By the end, you’ll create an entire animated scene — all built within a single node tree.

Whether you're an artist looking to make smarter scenes or a curious beginner diving into procedural workflows, this course gives you the solid grounding you need.

What You’ll Learn

• The core principles of Blender’s Geometry Nodes system
• How to navigate the node graph, spreadsheet editor, and key shortcuts
• A clear understanding of the fields system and how data flows through nodes
• How to procedurally model, apply materials, and displace geometry
• How to scatter collections, use vertex groups, and instance assets
• Techniques for animating scenes with wind, noise, and splines
• How to use nodes like Ray Cast, Attribute Statistic, and Geometry Proximity
• How to set up procedural billboards and loop animations

Throughout the course, you'll complete small, focused exercises before working on a full scene — an animated glade complete with trees, wind, and birds — all built procedurally.

Meet Your Instructors

Mike Bridges has been teaching Blender professionally since 2014 and has helped tens of thousands of students get confident in 3D. He’s the co-founder of Canopy Games, where he builds in-depth courses on topics including low-poly modelling, grease pencil, and of course, Geometry Nodes. His clear, structured teaching style makes even complex topics approachable.

Erin Woodford has over 12 years of Blender experience and began their career as a 3D artist and educator while still in university. Their work spans stylised animation, photoreal visualisation, and procedural techniques — but they’re best known for their ability to break down Blender’s more advanced systems into clear, usable workflows.
