The renderer in Houdini is not great, but the one in Blender now is blistering fast even on my little 1080ti. For a fully integrated GPU renderer, it is something any company should consider using now. Anyhoo, this tutorial is about the process of making a snowflake completely out of Geometry Nodes, not a shape primitive in site, as well as then linking inputs into the geometry node modifier so we can animate the growth of each stem individually. It's a little long, so here is a breakdown for you to go to the bits you're most interested in: 00:00 - intro 02:36 - into the geometry nodes side. 03:55 - making your first curve. 05:55 - making the curve a mesh. 07:
