In today's video, learn to use the free add-on Node Wrangler in Blender in order to quickly set up your PBR materials with a single set of keystrokes!

Over the course of your modeling "career," you'll spend a lot of time setting up nodes to get your materials to show up properly. This tool built into the free add-on Node Wrangler can automate that process for you, allowing you to add multiple maps and set them up with your principled shader automatically!

Texture coordinates can look like magic but once you understand them, they're really straight forward. Coordinate manipulation is the most fundamental part of procedural texturing so it's worth getting your head around what the colours mean and what options we have available!

In this Blender Tutorial, we will be creating two different gold materials. One material will be more lumpy and bumpy for a gold nugget, and the other one will be a smooth gold material. Hope the video is helpful!

David Forest from Lightning Boy Studio explains step by step how to make a real time toon shader with multiple light sources in Blender.

Blender 2.93- Emission node - Basics

The Emission node is used to add Lambertian emission shader. This can for example, be used for material and light surface outputs.


Outputs: Emission

This tutorial is from our new course, The Blender Encyclopedia. This course is a comprehensive reference guide for the software and includes step by step projects for all skill levels.

In this free lecture from the course we'll be diving deep into the Principled BSDF shader node, which is an all-in-one type node that can be used to create a ton of realistic materials such as wood, metal, marble, cloth, glass, and so much more.

In order to understand this node better we'll also go over PBR, or Physically Based Rendering, where I'll introduce you to the scientific basis for building physically accurate materials. PBR simply refers to simulating how light and materials behave in reality, and the principled node automatically does some scientific calculations to achieve this realism, So it's extremely useful when looking to create believable materials.

The final blend files and infographics are available in the course's resource files.

In this blender series I show you how to use shader nodes to create materials (procedural and otherwise). In this video we lay down some general principles and introduce the series.

In this video, we learn about node editors in Blender by taking a look at the Shader Editor. This is meant as a general overview of working with the node editors in Blender and not a material building tutorial (we will do that in another video)

The MixRGB node is one of the most powerful and versatile nodes we can use in our materials but so many people don't realise how to take advantage of it. In this video I'll break it down so you have a deeper understanding of how it works!

Please let me know how I can improve these videos!

The color ramp is probably one of the most used nodes for creating materials. In this video Nik goes through all of its features and gives you tips and tricks to make its use more effective. This tutorial is for both beginners and advanced Blender users.
