Great job! Thank you for this tutorial! P.S.: for anyone who try this with the 2.81a, keep in mind that the "Voronoi Texture" now is a bit different. To make material in a correct way, plug in "Distance" (and not "Color") of Voronoi in "Fac" of Bump! :D

[@Brandon-yy8ey]

Thanks for this. I'd also say too that I had better results playing with F2 & Minkowski.

Man, seriously, I like your tutorials. Great job. I am learning like crazy.

Perfect perfect perfect video. Good pacing, clear voice, not taking for ever in between steps, 10/10. Boy does this metal look neat on my robot model.

[@krash20]

I've learnt so much watching your videos in the last 2 weeks on how to use Blender that I started enjoying using it. Thank you!

[@1967Spiro]

Great lesson right there. Clear, to the point and no missed steps. Got some pitted steel I`m happy with . Excellent effort.

[@RSpudieD]

I really love how these are all within blender and not external materials. Keep up the good work and the creativity! Post viewing: THIS....this is fantastic!

@@TheDucky3D How do you color it?

[@AnatomyAcademy]

Thank you this is super helpful! I'm struggling to get to grips with shaders but these tutorials really help me to understand how it all works.

[@esscee96]

God damn man I'm amazed at how you know what node goes where and everything I can't ever get the results I want solely with blender's material node setups. I would've always thought we needed textures to get detail like this. Thanks a lot for sharing this, appreciate it.

[@ryan5013]

I am in love with these videos, saving me money every month I don't have to turn to shader packs

[@kepler1175]

Such a cool tutorial, this texture is astounding to look at, I don’t yet understand all the nodes or exactly how they function outside of this but from here I can learn.

[@1puffinmuffin]

If youre using in Blender v2.93 the voronoi texture changed so what you want to do is set it to 4D , smooth F1 and minkowski. Instead of color connection into the factor of the color ramp connect Distance and it should start working like the tutorial.

[@Soulsphere001]

Thank you. That worked for me, but I had to set it to 3D.

[@clemantinez]

Thank you for this comment 🙏

[@richierich8085]

Wow. This metal material looks believable. Please put these materials into the same playlist. So we can find them easily. Thanks a lot.

You're one of the best at what you do, keep it up !

[@LFSPharaoh]

Awesome man thanks for this. Quick and concise explanations on what the nodes are doing, all packed in a short 6 minute video. I know exactly what I'll be using this video for in a future project idea I have.

[@dreamincubator8726]

OMFG, when you put the noise in to the vector!? 🤯🤯🤯 Had no idea you could plug a vector in to a color node and the possibilities that opens are melting my skull!.. 🔥💀🔥

[@HiEnergyMusic]

Amazing! I'll try that material on my own logo. Looks like this metal is exactly what would fit the cogwheel in my intro. Thanks for making this! *Subscribed*

[@GeorgeMichaelArt]

Excellent work,as I work through your tutorials it becomes easier to understand how nodes interact with each other, my knowledge about the has increased to .5% so a long way to go to 100%

[@seriouslycoolful]

Thanks for making this video. I don't know what exactly is different between 2.79 and 2.8 but my old procedural workflow doesn't seem to work anymore so this has been a great help

[@kokoze]

Holy fuck! The fact that you can put nodes between the texture coordinate and the mapping one just opens up so many possibilities

[@addrix6083]

please censor this

[@cuppajoesugar]

Love your tutorials! Also really helped figuring out Blender's nodular system

[@MrSmytch]

wow wow wow dude! That was SICK and endresult is mindblowing. Thanks!

[@fxdojo]

Awesome tutorial! Quick and to the point but also taking time to explain the node network. Thank you!

Clear and concise...well done tutorials! Thanks for sharing your Blender knowledge.

[@ivo6221]

Love your videos man! Please keep doing what you're doing :)

[@SkyrimBeast]

Many thanks Ducky, this is a very good tutorial indeed. For those using a PC with a 1GB GPU, be patient while following along. This material setup is rather intensive on Blender's performance.

[@ThatElfNerd]

Gotta say, it takes a while to get used to the nodes, but tutorials like these help make them look less intimidating.

[@Numocron]

This is another awesome Blender tutorial I love it.

[@lacai527]

Started to learn Ue4, but im learning More and More of blender :) like what ya just made looks so cool!

[@drizzith0]

Thank you. Amazing metal material.

[@somechannelname5489]

Thank you very much!! P.S: On 2.83, the wave texture node has a Detail Roughness slider that can achieve the same effect as putting the Noise node on the vector line, thus saving a step. Voronoi still needs it though.

[@Riley_MDS]

Thanks for the tutorial, I'm really lazy when it comes to modelling in Blender, but just by watching some tutorial is enough to help me finish my work

[@marioCazares]

I didn't know you could just plug bumps together with the normal socket thank you haha. Just getting into procedural so this is really helpful thank you

[@ej34umarpirjade3]

Learning a Lot from you please keep making these awesome videos. You deserve more subscribers!!

Umar Pirjade thanks

[@heyitzmae]

Finally a commentated tutorial for this type of material that's understandable for noobs! :D

[@greymagic7790]

The most important thing to use simple textures to create realistic procedural textures is to use mixrgb and noise as vector inputs to the textures.

[@valter3141]

thanks for your tutorials, accurate work, compliments

[@TheDucky3D]

Valter 31 thank you

[@hexagon1970]

Man, I've just made a mistake, but it resulted in the best node-based texture I've ever done. When you first create the second bump node (for the normal input of the first principled bump), connect the height input of this second bump to the mapping node output (instead of using the voronoi). You'll have a very good looking, crude-metal texture. PS: Beautiful tutorial, thank you very much!!

[@nimespeaudange1546]

This looks great! Thanks 👌

Top lindo tutorias estou aproveitando bastante, obrigado

[@AlekseyMarin12]

On the blender 2.8 part when adding Voronoi Texture plug, I had to route (distance) to bump (height) to achieve desired effect

[@darrennew8211]

I love all these tutorials. Quick and on point, we get exactly what you say we're getting. :-) That's a really cool shader technique too. As an aside, doesn't Node Wrangler make it way easier to add common node groups?

[@TheDucky3D]

Darren New it does, I don’t want to use it for the tuts so beginners know what’s happening

[@bill392]

Granted I'm discovering these videos pretty late but I have a question. How to keep the outer surface bump/pattern out of the crevices. It would make sense that the outer surface would not be patterned exactly the same as the gouges. I used almost the same technique to make a rust pattern and added another color ramp into the roughness so that the rust would not be shiny. However, it would be better to completely separate the bump patterns for the shiny outer surface and the rusty or gouged out areas. I haven't figured out yet how to do that.

[@theknard3202]

all i can say is thank you

[@mr.youngpower277]

Thanks

[@bmj6763]

You're like a node shader mad scientist. Noise into the vector?? What!

[@grayjackgaming1746]

It seems obvious in hindsight but explaining why you are using the object output in the coordinate node was important for me. Tons of other tutorials will state which output to use, but rarely do they explain why.
