Creating a Parametric Antenna using Geometry Nodes | Blender 3.4.1

This is a recording from a session making a piece for the new #hmp04 asset pack. Made using Blender and geometry nodes, a simple parametric antenna is created that ended up being the base for the four (4) designs used in the thumbnail - topology was still done manually after applying the modifier, but still a great timesaver.

The video would have been a lot shorter - if I had settled on the design beforehand - but at least I got to show solving some minor issues I probably wouldn't have covered.
