Current Events > Is anyone else planning to do Nodevember?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically, like with Inktober, there are a variety of prompts for the month. Whereas last month was about using pen and ink, this month is about using node based computer software to create art matching the prompt. If you've never used software like that before, the learning curve is probably too steep to complete every prompt (I've done it for a couple of years now, and the schedule is pretty ambitious) but it still might be fun.

Blender: Geometry nodes for modeling, and node based materials for decorating the art. 100% free.

Houdini: Nodes for modeling, materials, special effects, everything. High learning curve but lots of fun. The Apprentice version is free.

Substance Designer: Procedurally create materials. Adobe software, but a trial is available.

Unreal Engine: Nodes for materials and animations, but also the entire logic of games can created with nodes. Free to use.

That might be interesting. I've recently been learning Material Maker, which is a bit like substance designer:

Damn will have to look into that. Already had to ditch CC because of the insane pricing, and substance wasnt even included in the full plan.

Bumping this in case anyone missed it and is interested!
