Learn Geometry Nodes (or Geo-Nodes) in just over two minutes! This tutorial is for people like I was a few weeks ago, who really wanted to a first step up to learning geo-nodes but needed that step up. And they didn’t want that step up to be a half hour tutorial – just the basics.
This tells you enough so you can start using geo-nodes where you were previously using static particles – grass, trees, weeds, or in this case mushrooms.

Oblique Projections in Blender Get the files here: https://gum.co/cCDRB
Oblique projections cannot be created simply by the pointing the orthographic camera in the right direction. If you look at the middle and right images in the thumbnail, you’ll see that one side of the cube-castle appears as a square, and yet two other sides are still visible. This tutorial explains how to render the three projections on the thumbnail.
