In this video, you will learn how to create a customizable timer or clock using Geometry Nodes in Blender, guided by Johnny Matthews. This tutorial covers essential techniques and features to enhance your Blender skills.
Key Steps:
- Setup: Start by adding a Geometry Nodes tree to the default cube and accessing the scene time node to work with seconds.
- Seconds Display: Convert seconds to text and display them using the String to Curves node.
- Padding: Ensure consistent digit display by adding zero padding for single-digit seconds.
- Minutes and Hours: Calculate and display minutes and hours, constraining them to a 0-59 range and adding padding as needed.
- Offset and Roll Over: Implement an offset for starting time adjustments and handle hour rollover for 12 or 24-hour formats.
- Milliseconds: Incorporate milliseconds for precise timing, with an option to display them.
- Countdown Timer: Create a countdown timer by subtracting the current time from a starting value.
- Additional Features: Explore extra features like AM/PM display and hiding seconds, available in the Patreon download.
