How I Made Footprints in Blender with Geometry Nodes!

Описание: After trying Blender's dynamic paint, and becoming frustrated with its limitations, I turned to Geometry Nodes to try and create interactive footprints. Dynamic Paint has some awesome features but I can't live without Geo Node's custom attributes for creating shader masks. The base setup is super simple - relying on a simulated raycast node to create the indents and then messing with the result to generate new masks for extra displacement and shading effects. It's not dissimilar from ‪@BadNormals‬ version but he has a much better grasp on math and logic and I expect a more reliable setup. Definitely check that out if you're after a more in depth tutorial. Haven’t used this in a full scene yet so I have not worked out all the ways to optimise it yet but as long as I keep the subdivisions low, bake the simulation and use it selectively it seems promising for adding that little extra realism.
