Texturing in Blender Intermediate Tutorial - Part 3 (FINAL)

[@986768290]

The first video in the series has 825,035 views dated 23 Sept 2018, and now the final video in the series has only 78,780 views, that's a 9.5% graduation rate, what does that mean? It means we are the dedicated few to endure the entire journey that is so tough that 90% of the whole cohort dropped out! So congratulations! You made it to the very end and you truly deserved a pat on the back!

[@obedndubisi1491]

Haha. Thanks....quite encouraging

[@markbusch5907]

Cheers everyone

[@richardjohnson6531]

We did it boys! Thanks Andrew!

[@DrDemolition]

idk a lot of people dropped in the middle because they were outraged that the textures were behind a paywall

[@Faddyfeme]

@@DrDemolition even with textures available, I had problems with their visualisation and the anvil looked like a piece of cement (you understand I did all the same operations according to the tutorial). So, no sense to go further...

[@spirituser7354]

What I learned from this Anvil creation series, 1. How to use Boolean 2. How to use knife and loop cut properly 3. How to UV Unrap 4. What is normal map and how to make one and use one 5. How to use sculpting tools 6. How to combine high poly mesh with low poly mesh to get same quality of render but faster. 7. How to texture paint. 8. Some quick shortcuts to become a lazy artist. 9. How to make a great looking Anvil Thanks Andrew for this series, I hope your channel grow 10 times this year.

[@vlahedwarf5292]

i learned that my computer cant handle texture paint.

[@stickythestickfigue9548]

i lerned nothing cos i fallowed the donut series cos this is hard and donut easy

[@jeffersonadams8711]

I don't think I'll learn anything on step 4 because the normal mapping is so riddled with errors as the series is not in sync with the latest Blender version. A shame, as I was finally starting to love Blender, but the problems at step 4 are making me despise it. Hopefully Andrew releases an updated anvil video for blender 3.0+; if not, it would be less problematic if he would just un-list this series of videos. After being so proud of myself for completing the donut tutorial, I feel like quitting Blender once again because of the mistakes I can't overcome in this anvil tutorial. That's not a good feeling to provoke in people who are new to Blender, especially since he explicitly recommends this series as a "next step" after completing the donut.

[@Canzandridas]

@@jeffersonadams8711With a bit of luck you can usually find comments that help you circumvent the changes. Usually everything is still there, just maybe with a different name and in a different menu

[@wallacesousuke1433]

How can anyone learn much from this 5 year old video? Blender has changed so much, even with the donut tutorial I had issues following certain steps because they have changed in later versions

[@delisun1]

i watched this almost 4 hour long series by andrew and learned more than i did in 1 year studying 3d modeling and rendering containing about 30 hours of lecturing

[@almarma]

I agree with you! I'm learning a lot about shortcuts and techniques to draw using subdivisions, more than on a paid course I'm doing

[@gamesterluke]

Its because of Andrew that I got such a high mark in my applied graphics module

[@jeremyleonardo]

wait what?? your uni uses blender? that's rare

[@rg.design6010]

Mine does as well, and that`s the reason i got into blender.

[@KageNekoSamax]

I've seen almost everything i've learned in the career i'm doing in this tutorial, and i had like 12 weelky hours almost every week, and in this tutorial series he covered that all, sure he maybe missed some detail but if i had classes like that i would feel so much better

[@flyingcarpetpoole9064]

Purchased! Thank you Andrew, after many approaches to blender I've finally made three doughnuts, two cups (one broken ;) ) and anvil. Until this time I couldn't finish modelling a glass. I'm almost forty... not too late to start this adventure ;) .

[@johnesparolini5687]

Agreed! I started learning Blender last year at age 67. Andrew Price's tutes are hands-down the best. :-)

[@dylonkejhu]

Perhaps being 14 learning this tutorial definitely not late. Almost give up on this tutorial bcz my brush different from him in blender 2.9

[@TrifoldproductionsOrg]

Hey Andrew, in order to stop your images from disappearing in your UV image editor whenever you make changes just click on the little icon underneath the window that looks like a push pin. That usually helps to keep your image there.

[@itsapyro-fox6963]

Woah its blender gurus teacher. Please teach us.

[@gonecoastal4]

Your advice at 5 min is spot on. Referring to the blacksmith motif in the spirit of this project. The first thing an apprentice blacksmith is often taught to forge is a small leaf and then is told, "Now, make a hundred more."

[@WalkerRileyMC]

@22:00: Hardened steel plate. Actually, since you made this as one full piece, it would be completely cast steel. My anvil has a steel plate welded to a cast iron body, so there's that option as well. I'd also like to point out that you'd probably not ever see scratches that deep on the face plate or the horn. On the shoulder, though, yea. Scratches that deep on the face plate are from an amateur not using a cutting plate or the shoulder when hot/cold cutting. Just a note: a full cast iron anvil is totally useless and would never have lasted long enough to look similar to your render. We like to call those Anvil Shaped Objects or ASOs. @25:30: You got it right, it's called a horn (also sometimes a beak). The opposing square end is a heel. Your hardie hole should be square, not rectangular, and both your hardie and pritchel hole (round hole) should be going all the way through the heel. The flat surface you called a shelf earlier is sometimes called....a shelf. Also a table. I know blender and 3d art is more your gig, but if you've time, watch a few videos on introduction to blacksmithing. It's an incredibly interesting art that is still going strong across the world. So just like I did with the donut tut, I've at this point watched through to the end and now am going back to the start and going to model along. Hopefully it comes out well.

[@eaglefat9398]

I think his reference photo is a cg fake as well because either that anvil is tiny or the hardie hole giant, i have a Enderes tool CO e351 next to me and its a small 10lbs anvil and its hardie hole is way smaller (also mine has no pritchel hole)but at least it does have a hardened face. The reference photo anvil seems odd to me , what could it possibly been used for to have that much wear over ever inch of it.

I spent about 18 hours on this project as I had to restart several times due to mistakes I made and even take a couple of days break out of frustration, but I am so glad that I finished it because my anvil looks AMAZING!!!!!! I am so proud!

[@MichaelLesterClockwork]

I started with your donut tutorial last year, and I've been doing all sorts of stuff since. Coming back to the tutorials and going through this whole series has really helped fill in some gaps in my knowledge that I didn't know existed. Super useful, and while I wouldn't have paid for it (since I have had many bad experiences with paid courses) I have bought a Poliigon subscription, because I appreciate everything you've taught me, and because you sell great stuff.

[@ChaimLeibHalbert]

Thanks for doing this series! I'm learning lots of very useful drawing techniques from your tutorials. From watching some videos about real anvils, I learned that they are often made of two different types of metal forge-welded together. The bottom is usually a cheaper iron or steel mostly for weight, so that the anvil doesn't move easily. The less the anvil moves, the greater the pinching effect on the workpiece. The top surface of the anvil is ideally a higher quality steel that is harder and deforms less easily. The hardness helps keep the top surface smooth, which is important to avoid transferring the imperfections from the anvil surface onto the workpiece. When restoring anvils, rusted pits are sometimes filled with welding material if they are too severely deep, and the whole top is ground and polished as smooth as the smith has patience for. Another reason to have a hard top is to reflect the force of the hammer back up onto the workpiece. This lets the smith effectively hammer the top and the bottom of the workpiece at once, halving his work. A common quality test is to drop a ball bearing onto the surface and see how high it bounces. The higher it bounces, the harder the surface and the more force is reflected, and thus the better the anvil. In terms of art, this means that the top of an anvil is somewhat smoother than the sides, and usually has a different color because it is a higher-quality steel.

[@3DBlendemic]

I found that if you enable "Rake" (just above the random rotation option), the scratchs follow the movement of your brush strokes. So you can draw vertical and horizontal scratches without changing the view.

[@Velgan83]

You're the goat

[@karanpratapsingh5022]

To avoid Blender closing your images like at 2:00, use the pin icon in the toolbar of the Image Editor. That way Blender never automatically closes any pinned image.

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

3:54 Instead of painting it all black first (then erased it), you can just tap-tap the brush with a certain setting. In the "color ramp' of the brush tool, I make the black and white almost close together to reduces the softness of the brush. Then I increase the size of the cloud until only a few clouds left. You might want to experiment with this to find the perfect number. And it may give different results that what you want to achieve, and some parts may still need to be erased too, but for me personally it feels more efficient.

[@timthamm9739]

This comment was really helpful, thanks a ton. For some reason in blender 3.2 I can't erase the black spots I make so I had to use this method to get something close to what was shown in the video. It's not the best fix but hey it's at least there is a workaround. side note - Having the black gradient at 1.00, cloud size at 0.07 and radius at 220px worked well for me

[@zackw7609]

18:50 good advice I learned Maya, Mud box & Zbrush at AI Vancouver in 2008 and used it until the Covid19 crash and could not afford the programs Now I am learning Blender and the ideas and concepts of creating the art is 100% transferable, it's just the interface you need to learn.

[@kojifrahm5022]

In Blender 2.93--- The nodes feel confusing but if you pause and really just organize your nodes like his one by one, it worked out for me after a bit of untangling. Basically, if I understand correctly, Andrew is saving us time by having our new node "share" the existing connection to the 2 bump maps that already exists between the DISP_(etc)_METALNESS node (the original starting node of this arm). The MixRGB node that turns into a Multiply node (when you set it to Multiply) is like a "joint" that allows you to connect our new node AND the original node to both bump maps, just like the original node was doing by itself before our new node came along. What confused me at first (among other things) was that when you connect the multiply node to the second bump map, the connection that was there already (to the original node) disappears, and it feels like something got disconnected and is wrong. Really, that original node is still connected, but it is routing now THROUGH the Multiply node, which Blender automatically understands and so it deletes the old connection. Instead of doing all this "hitching" with the multiply node, I think (and I think Andrew mentions?) that we could make a whole new arm for just our new Scratches and Damages node, which may be easier to understand, but it will would be more work because we may need to add another new Bump map for it, etc. Hope you see your scratches. Andrew does not go easy on this last one. We're almost through!

[@michaelc.2135]

If you're having trouble with the brushes and setting a texture when you get to the adding the scratches and damage part of the tutorial to the anvil and the scratch brush you've made just draws a black blob like a regular texbrush you should make sure that you have set the brush's color to white instead of black. You would think you would set the color to black when painting on an image with a white background but you would be wrong! This caused me a huge headache so I hope it saves some from a headache. UP is down and left is right.

[@anniep4442]

came here for that, it took me a while to troubleshoot just that specific scratch brush. I think the brush type changed with the later Blender updates. To make it easier on you, invert the colors of the brush provided in the link (so it's all black background with grey stroke). Alternatively, you can invert the alpha in the material tab of the scratch texture brush.

[@traviswisecup170]

If the lines don't seem to be coming up often after doing this, additionally make sure your spacing is back to a low number such as the default 10%.

[@second4265]

Thank you!

[@sarfrazahmedsh]

18:16 You are absolutely right Andrew. Watching other software tutorials like Maya, Max, Zbrush is very helpful. How the professionals approach to model an object and texture and materialize it or sculpt it is pretty much the same. And you can always use the knowledge for blender. I do this as well.

[@keithlewis255]

This series is greatness! I'm only about a month into learning Blender and tutorials like this have helped tremendously. I followed this through all the way, but got lost early into this final lesson; I'm using 2.83 and the texture painting menu and brushes in particular are pretty different than what I was watching (a lot of the menus were different throughout, but I managed to figure it out going along... all except for the texture painting parts at the end!). Great teaching bro, I look forward to doing many more as I continue to learn! Thanks

There are 2 main problems for me as a beginner : 1. Basic texture of the Anvil : poliigon texture and texture in the tut are different 2. Nodes: Node editing is a torture for beginners, if you misclicked smth it's difficult to find what has changed. But the series IS GREATE. Thank you so much. P.S. After last two lessons I would like to start substance, cause blender's logic isn't clear enough.

[@SriSarvasri]

A fantastic series. I was able to do it in Blender 2.80 beta. It was a bit difficult because the interface has changed quite a lot. Still it can be done if you work through it slowly and look up terms in the Blender manual and search KZbin for interface info. I'm 73 years old, so I think anyone with a bit of dedication can do it. I paid for the course, though I don't need to download it.

[@-foxcroft1518]

So far I've found this is the only tutorial on youtube exploring how to make a custom brush by loading a file you've created yourself. It's an area of Blender I'm definitely going to be using but wish there was more information about.

For anyone having troubles whith texture image disappearing when color ramp is activated, you need an image with alpha data in it in order to color ramp. If not so (like in my case) just go in the alpha section of the texture panel on the right and tick "calculate". I'm working on blender 2.9 btw

My more sincere thank you.

[@jimbosjunkyard]

If you run into the problem I did with the scratches and damages texture applying sheer white to your model instead of jus the gray overlay and not being able to see the scratch brush strokes: With the Texture Paint workspace active in the Image Editor go to Image->Reload

[@darrennew8211]

It's possible to do layers using cycles nodes, in a way. You just paint each layer onto a different image and composit them after the fact. You wind up with more image texture usage, but it seems to work particularly well for modular assets you're going to reuse and might want to adjust in the future.

[@spacewoolv3478]

Dear Andrew, thank you for the tutorial. It really helped me a lot to understand a lot of things in Blender. But I also want to notify you that this tutorial series is alredy very obsolete and in many moments during procceding with a series i was forced to search in the internet a lot of items separately throuhg other youtube tutorials.

[@YourreelmemoriesAu]

Thanks for these detailed tutorials Andrew. They contain a wealth of invaluable information for up and coming artists. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!

put out a patreon for your own self and share your tutorials with the world of 3d modelling, I Will purchase this series of tutorials as they are a great thing and a rare diamond that helped me out getting back into 3d modelling! thank you for your time and effort. If I ever get asked about how I learned blender I would mention you first!

Smooth stroke allows you to draw super smooth, curved lines by attaching a piece of "string" to the end of the brush, and then you can drag it around after you with a bit of delay... It's meant to be used sloooooowly. Not to cope with super fast "brush" strokes. That's like the opposite of what it's for. ;)

[@lungheadz9509]

Thank you for the series. Another completion under my belt. It took some time and perseverance but feels good to have an end product.

That anvil looks amazing!!! Great tutorials! Thanks Andrew!

[@johnbumster3950]

Excellent tutorial, I am new to blender and really appreciate the work Andrew put into making this series so watchable and informative thankyou Blender Guru.

[@paulacalamante1037]

I can't believe all the things I've learn with your videos, I'm so thankful, I wish you only good things, thanks a lot!

[@fudgingnerd8210]

You know, compared to the updated donut tutorial this older one wasn't too hard and I feel like I learned alot. I'm glad I went from there first and then to this one...Although my love for donuts still hasn't returned I now have a strange fondness for well-aged anvils.

[@sdrawkcabdaernacuoy]

Thanks so much Andrew! My anvil is my best model and most realistic render yet thanks to you. polish vs. Polish - that was so funny... Keep thinking out loud. It gives your tutorials great character.

[@charlymanceau947]

Man you are an awesome person, thank you for taking time to make all this tutorials. Your are definitively a guru ! Thx

[@bongz8041]

This was such a brilliant Tutorial series. Could you please do an ANIMATION NODE set?

[@SekretZdzicha]

Man i love your videos. I could even listen to you just babbling about things that are not blender connected. Good teacher, good presentation, everything including the blender file, ref images and textures are in the links.

Bought the $10 package from Blendermarket. Wanted to encourage more.

[@macgruber4689]

I did as well, was the 10th, one an hour after it came out. I hope he made good money, he more than deserves it.

[@raghunandanbs2005]

This series got me into blender , thank you blender guru !( Btw i never watched the donut series 😅 i directly hopped to this series and i would recommend it for anybody who want to start hard surface modelling

[@divyaparameswaran2278]

Nice work. I followed along the tutorial. I found it difficult in the end but, I learnt a lot. Great Efforts from your side. You ensure Photo realism, which is currently a challenge for me. But, I know that practice makes a man perfect.

[@ankitminz5872]

I love your eye for detail.

[@clinton_jones]

Great series Andrew! Just finished this one along with your beginner series again. Solid stuff. Keep up the good work!
