3D Trees with Blender Geometry Nodes
Procedural Tree Modeling with Blender's Geometry Nodes
Created by 3D Tudor Limited By Neil Ian Bettison
Discover how to build detailed 3D trees from the ground up using Blender's Geometry Nodes. You'll learn to create realistic trunks, branches, and foliage with a fully procedural workflow. By the end, you'll be able to design dynamic, production-ready trees for any 3D environment.

What You Will Learn
You'll start by constructing the base trunk and branches, then move on to adding roots and refining the mesh for realism. Step-by-step demonstrations show how to use nodes for organic shapes and natural leaf placement. As you progress, you'll animate leaves and fine-tune every part of the tree, building a reusable system for future projects.
Key Features
- Build customizable tree structures with procedural node setups in Blender
- Add realistic detail using mesh refinement, UV mapping, and organic displacement
- Create animated leaf systems to simulate wind and falling leaves for lifelike results
Target Audience
Perfect for intermediate Blender users who already know the basics of 3D modeling and have some experience with Geometry Nodes. If you want to create procedural assets for games, animation, or visualizations and are looking to take your skills to the next level, you'll find practical techniques and creative inspiration here.
