once again its coming. prepare your body. get pumped. im psyched!!! welcome to: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/766493581761970176/1167772938230050826/nodevember2023logo.mp4 nodevember 2023. the website: https://www.nodevember.io the twitter: https://twitter.com/NodevemberIO procedural is the fun thing everyone is doing and showing off on twitter, instagram, etc. its about creating things programmatically so you can create different versions of those things by just tweaking a few values. if your modeling stuff byhand your basically a boomer that craps old fashioned. since last year blender (the most popular program for this event) has notably added simulation nodes which allow you to basically make loops and do stuff never before possible. and the current beta version 4.0 adds the REPEAT ZONE which is an actual loop that essentially allows any iterative algorithm at all to be (theoretically) ported to blender geometry nodes. every 2 days there is a prompt. the prompts will be revealed on halloween but this is the basic structure. if your strictly following along the idea is that every 2nd day you "release" your entry for that days prompt, but its not a competition! its just for fun and sharing so nobody really cares (except post hole digger who isnt even cool enough to participate) if you adhere to the schedule or skip some prompts or do them a month late or whatever. just have fun! its called "node"-vember because popular visual design software such as blender, houdini, touch designer, and substance designer use node-based visual programming languages. of course its not just limited to these programs, and its not limited to nodes at all. some procedural software uses different paradigms, like quixel mixer which uses a stack flow. some people write scripts to integrate into these programs. as long as its programmatic its good. just dont paint or model stuff by hand i guess. dont be scared off that your not good enough or whatever, most of us that have done it in years past got into it from the beginning purely by trial and error in blender. take me for example. my first post in the nodevember 2020 thread: but i went from this: (one of my first entries back in 2020):  to this: (my final entry in 2022)  and some of the nodes to make it:  and u can too, if u want to. come on and do it with us! no effort is too low, and none too high. theres no skill floor really needed, just use some software your familiar with or download something and dick around with it. if you have no idea where to start, here is some software that people use visual: blender (free) houdini (free for non-commercial usage) quixel mixer (free) touch designer (free for non-commercial usage) substance designer (adobe  , find it on steam for $150)Notch (free trial, no saving) Shade (iOS) (free trial, $16 after) audio: nodal (free trial for 30 days) WolframTones (free, online) Bitwig (free trial,no saving or export) multimedia: Pure Data (free) Ofelia (pure data external) (free) huge list of other stuff here (thanks 4lokos basilisk) https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding#languages of course if you just download a program you probably won't have any idea what to do. so check out this website, "youtube.com", theyve got all sorts of tutorials over there. most of us in yospos doing this will be using blender and if you want to get started with blender i can't recommend erindale enough, he has tutorials specific to nodevember and node based stuff in general. he also has paid courses for like $20-50 and i did the one about making a tree bridge and i learned a lot about project structure and techniques and junk. here are my favorites from goons last year but check the thread for deets (maybe u like others better, theres tons of great stuff): distortion park: https://i.imgur.com/ikeMzWs.mp4 jenny (i think from 2 years ago but grandfathered in): https://i.imgur.com/MRFyW6G.mp4 toiletbrush:  komojo:  falsenegative:  bluemillion: https://i.imgur.com/AUXqRM0.mp4 trabisnikof: https://i.imgur.com/5qUYZsG.mp4 fart simpson:  post your nodevember works in this thread! ask for help in this thread! just post in this thread! threads from previous years are likely devastated by the loss of gfycat  and accountless imgur uploads . but go check them out anyway:2022 thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4015885 2021 thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3983437 2020 thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3946165  prompts are out!

this iconic rainbow first made its appearance in this scene back in 2018 or even earlier and it was made with nodes and that’s when nodes were born (chicken and egg situation). this is concrete proof that nodes exist

Real post though, I"m really glad for the more focused prompts this year. I'm going to try to keep the scope limited, but we all know how that goes!

They really picked a difficult one for the first prompt, didn't they? I can't decide whether I want to do something realistic or stylized.
