Blender "Sandify" Geometry Node Effect

This geometry node-based effect was inspired by the intro to the "Foundation" television show. I love recreating professional vfx and cgi with free tools like Blender and testing the capabilities of this marvelous piece of software.

If you do download it, or just wanna se how it's set up, you can check out this quick video here.

Note: The effect only works in Cycles but you can add an "instance on points" node in the geometry node tree at the very end and use an icosphere with one subdivision as the instanced object to recreate the effect in Eevee. Though I Highly recommend simply staying in Cycles as you will likely render much quicker using points in cycles than with icospheres in Eevee.

This is the first digital item I have ever sold and I decided to do so because I know the Blender community is capable of incredible things and has a knack for finding the coolest ways to use any tool put forward to us. I really hope you enjoy this product and that your artistic or technical endeavors continue as you hope they do. :)
