@Gerardo Enoch is it similar like Netflix?

It’s a bot Hazim. They keep hitting all of us. I’d stay clear as this kind of marketing tactic seems shady af.

Kev, thank you so much for this video! It's EXACTLY what I need! I really really like your tutorials because if your steps are followed, one will achieve the exact results you get, and learn along the way. You are demystifying nodes in Blender for me. Thank you again!

If you just want a kapton foil type, just distort the object you want using subdivide and then add a glossy shader

That would work. Thanks!

[@BobDschingisKhan]

awesome..thanks! Did you get the displacement with a noise texture work on eeveem, too? I don't find a method to use a noise texture as value for displacement in eevee, just bump works.

[@KevBinge]

Thanks! Yes, bump works in EEVEE right now but not the same type of node-based displacement at the time of this writing at least. To displace in EEVEE, I use a displacement modifier and match the node-based one as best I can. This will probably change in the future and it will work with nodes.

[@JacobSeeger]

Hi Kev, this tutorial is awesome! I noticed that in my blender the Voronoi Texture node doesn't have a "Fac" output... what would you recommend in this case to get it to look like yours? Thanks so much!

[@KevBinge]

They’ve changed it. I’d say try “distance to edge.” That might work well. Thanks!!

[@eyesoftomorrow4134]

cool

[@KevBinge]

Thanks!

[@gnamp]

funnily enough- a seamless backdrop or a set where it curves from horizontal towards the camera to vertical in the background is called a foil

[@KevBinge]

awesome tut really ..but is it right that the program is lagging abit when in node editor ? cuz i have this problem

[@KevBinge]

Thanks! It could be. Different graphics cards, computer specs, Blender beta builds, day of the week, planetary alignments, magic, lol... Sometimes a reboot fixes those lags on my end, or sometimes just downloading a new build fixes it too. I wish there were one easy solution haha!!

[@guylemay1471]

Yeah... just the right kind of tutorial on a Sunday Morning: Money grows on trees and Gold is made in Blender! Get filthy rich now!!!

[@rayromanov]

Thanks for the guide! Somehow my ball of gold foil ends up looking more like the surface of the sun, but then again I've barely opened Blender before, so I'm probably doing something wrong.

[@KevBinge]

The sun is good, just dial it back a little ☀️😀. Thanks!

[@rolandrickphotography]

😍 once was Goldfinger, now it’s Goldshader. Pls let me ask: where you got the Screencast keys for 2.80 from, you’re utilising here?

[@KevBinge]

Lol! Goldshader haha! The screencast addon is here: www.blendernation.com/2018/08/31/blender-2-8-screencast-keys-add-on/

[@rolandrickphotography]

blenderBinge , Thanks 🙏. Didn’t really use 2.80 yet, that super cool photo studio cove scene/world/background/whatever, is it part of 2.80, also an add-on or your invention?

[@KevBinge]

I built that. It’s a simple plane that Is sliced up and modeled, and I added the lights to it just for this tutorial. I’ve been using a setup like this for a while as it mimics a simple photo studio setup. Thanks!

[@rolandrickphotography]

blenderBinge , ahhh, ok, thanks. I already assumed this, but being Blender newbie, I have yet no clue if stuff like that is, for whatever reason, out there or not.

[@KRewolucja]

Hello blenderbinge, is there any way to "convert" the applied material to the texture (image file)? Because i need that to port the object to the game engine.

[@KevBinge]

Yes. You can “bake” the textures. It’s a long process to type out here but you can check this out: docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/render/cycles/baking.html Also, I’ve seen quite a few videos detailing this for 2.8. If you search for “bake texture” you’ll probably come across more information than you need 😀

[@RSpudieD]

Very cool! I like your technique but I wonder..why can't the displacement thing work in Eevee?

[@KevBinge]

It doesn’t work as you’d expect yet. When it does you can be sure I’ll do a video on it. Right now I use a displace deformer. Thanks!

[@rogermeyersjr]

Hi Kev, love your channel! I'm looking for a 100% procedural, Eevee-friendly, felt material to achieve a Muppet look. Would you happen to know how to create such a material?

[@KevBinge]

I do. I’ll do a video on it soon. For now, look at Blender Guru’s teddy bear video. It’s not felt but it’s pretty close for the time being.

[@rogermeyersjr]

how can you make it export as a texture file?

Damn son. That's bad ass. Need this shader for my life. I want to apply it to my actual life. is that possible? Tutorial please?

[@KevBinge]

Sure! Go to a food store, any food store that sells chocolate. Look for Ferrero Rocher fine Hazelnut chocolates. Eat the whole box (this is important.). Save the wrappers. Stitch them together. Wrap them around a softball. Add some lights from around the house... and BAM... you have this in real life! Thanks!!!

I am using the latest version 2.81a, and the "Voronoi Texture" node looks completely different. I followed this tutorial and it looks kind of gold, but mine is kind of round overall, without those sharp flat faces. I have tried selecting different values in the Voronoi Texture, but I could not get the flat faces.

[@KevBinge]

Yeah, that node was changed in 2.81. I need to update this at some point.

[@jeylful]

Hey, same here... could not follow the tutorial anymore :(

[@tobiaskarl4939]

Why in my blender 2.8 these area lights with all your settings produce extrem less brightness ? I have to set to 5000 W instead of 50 W.

[@KevBinge]

This was an older beta build of 2.8. I’ve noticed a few changes. It depends too on he distance of the light to the subject. There’s a natural inverse square falloff for light. I’d say play with it until it looks right.

[@vasilistoxo]

Same question, nice that it has been answered

[@OneEyedMaxi]

Nothing happens when I change it from "Bump" to "Displacement and Bump" and I have double checked everything, does it just not owrk in the latest update?

[@KevBinge]

It should. Do you have “experimental” checked? Many miss that.

[@greendholia5206]

how'd you curve the backdrop like that?

[@KevBinge]

I sliced a plane a couple of times (“tab” then “ctrl + r”) and then lifted the back edges up. Then I added a subdivision surface modifier and it curves pretty nicely.

[@greendholia5206]

@@KevBinge thank you :D

[@KevBinge]

You’re welcome 😁

[@raindropsneverfall]

You can also select the edge and press Ctrl + B (Bevelling) and increase the amount of segments to make it look curvy.
