for the next step i recommend looking into refraction and what it means for light to bend! - btw 2x speed to save time The first 500 people to use my link skl.sh/cgmatter06241 will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare premium!

[@CharlesDanielCharly]

do you have videos on those?

[@animatorizwan]

CGMATTER is known for his blender knowledge as well as sarcasm. if set to 2X we hear voice but not words. It is like setting up Eminem song in 2X. 😆

[@bhayyam]

Love the video. Can you do the same for geo nodes pls ?

[@samdavepollard]

i thought youtube added the x0.75 and x0.5 buttons as some kind of joke they didn't - sometimes you need them :-)

When I try to explain Shader Nodes to my friends, I usually say 'it is like creating sentences, and with those sentences, creating a paragraph with the node groups. It is like adding nouns, verbs, etc.' But bro, you wrote a poem right here.

[@hailahh2115]

this is amazing for stylized shading building it from the ground up, I hope we get more tutorials like this!!

[@whynotanyting]

I was always intimidated by shader nodes, but I took a day to replicate a material I found IRL and found it to be quite fun! There's so many ways to do the same thing. Plus you run into so many "Ooooh" moments when you realize why something looks a certain way.

[@tarafamhfoud9717]

I learned a lot from you three years ago. However, I gave up on Blender and focused on 2D work due to my lack of free time. Last month, I started 3D again, and all the information I learned from you came rushing back. It's great to see that there are still people in the design domain who continue to give so much. All the love and support to you 🙏🙏

[@scarit.]

Bro casually woke up and dropped this bomb :3 Literally the best shader node video ive ever seen.

[@amruzaky4939]

Watching this at 2x speed as per tradition 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@CeceMelchor]

As someone with a physics background, this is exactly what I’ve been needing!! I’ve been super confused with these shaders and now it’s so simple, and I’m only 4 minutes in lmao.

[@CeceMelchor]

Also I'm not exactly sure why, but I can only get the same graphic representations on the cube that you explain in the video @7:00 onwards using the generate (as opposed to UV) port from the texture coordinate plugged into vector on the separate xyz, it matches perfectly though otherwise.

[@CeceMelchor]

Update: incase anyones reading this, I needed to UV Unwarp the cube and position it to get the curvature right.

[@sobreaver]

Wow, nicely put together. I usually tend to play vids on 2x speed but in this case, it's kinda insane :P So much info, I kinda understand following along but it goes so quickly, there's actually a lot to review and practice. But with a lot of patience, and just THIS ONE video is enough to get you somewhere, anywhere but where you are right now :P

This is the only style of tutorial that can keep my ADHD brain somehow fully engaged from start to finish lol. Also as someone doing a masters in physics at university, it also tickled me in some extra spots. I'd definitely love a part 2, or even better, a zero to hero video for geometry nodes

[@blenderjobesch767]

I was literally JUST looking for a shader course to get back into blender with before I sat down to take a 💩- now I’m on the toilet scrolling and would you look at that.👀🙌

[@TauranusRex]

at 8:56 you asked for the curve name. as the value v = x.y and you keep it constant to get a function y depending on x, you can rearrange the equation: y = v/x which is y = v*(1/x) and (1/x) which is called hyperpola. you could plot such lines for many values v_i which would lead to an isoline plot consisting of many hyperbolas. Edit: hehe - 5s later you made the plot. sry.

[@nicholascureton933]

Thanks you for making that video. I've been busy with my day job (3D modeler) and doesn't have time to learn coordinate thingy. Learning new things in blender is my personal therapy session. It make me satisfied. It's good you speed it up. I'm in the bed now but i watched the video. I won't watch it if it's not speed up. Gotta go to work next morning. But some people might not like fast video.

Did you have any success with thin film input in 4.2? I tried looking at physical properties of gasoline spilled onto asphalt (320-640 nm thickness of thin film, 1.501 IOR) and it doesn't seem to give any result when I plug something like noise texture to mark the different thickness with map range node after it. It works with like double IOR, I start to see some rainbows, but I would assume that physically correct way is the whole intention of this new input and I must be doing something wrong

[@TauranusRex]

Sir. This is not a tutorial, it is a lecture. And it shows:"Why do I need math?" - this is why :) Your lecture need already a higher education level (vector analysis, trigonometry) and it is actually graphical coding as done in matlab/simulink. What I really miss is differential calculus. having derivatives in space and time. edge detection is now far to complicated with edge angle geometry node...

[@thedude3005]

you know shit's real if the tutorial is sped up for you

I am someho currently failing to make this sinewave as an grayscale UV (stripes) where the -1 is black and +1 is white. I did the map rangen node, but it still shows me black from -1 to 0 and then start gradual shading from 0 to 1. Does someone has a hint? kind regards

I thought I had 1.5x speed enabled! Regardless. I think this speed is great. It is very high in density.

[@jannikf2504]

I've been looking for a node that creates a shadowmap, is that in blender? Basically, everywhere a lightray hits is 1, everywhere it doesn't is 0. I need it as a map because I wanted to create faux UV fluorescent effects. That way I can plugin an emissions shader everywhere the mask is 1, where a light source hits the object

[@samduss4193]

actually KZbin put a speed controler so that you can speed up or slow down at will.. but if the standar is already too fast, well you finish to watch that in a very poor quality way :( pff
