Blender Texturing for Beginners - Tutorial

[@blenderguru]

19:00 Minor note: I got the math wrong here. It makes no difference to the end result, but the UV islands should actually be scaled by 0.8. Because if the texture is 2.5m and the plane is 2m, it should be scaled backwards to 80% (0.8) of it's size, not 125% like I (very confidently) stated here 😂 Thank you to X user @ttm0937 for pointing this out.

[@user-cu1uj6bl3r]

AI cant really do this maybe in next 50 years because the amount of data input required is going to cost trillions and the memory wil also have to be a couple hundred terrabytes even then it will only be able to create simple things because we can think we dont have to memorize everything and can simplify machines cant do either so I dont think it is going to be a problem I am not a complex ai developer or blender professional and I have only made simple ai so have that in mind

Andrew is truly a legend. Tutorials are so easy to follow and he covers things that most people don't.

[@TechnicianX]

Hey a million ppl comment on your videos, so this'll probably get buried, but I did your donut tutorial like 2 weeks ago. Ended up with the most incredible looking stack of donuts ever. Been trying to check out a little of each blender topic to get a better feel for the software and figure out what I want to get better at. I decided I should know some stuff about texturing for my scenes and characters. Started looking around and found you, yet again. I'm gonna watch this now and work through it. Those million commenters already said this, but you are really something special. The donut is so ubiquitous, and your tutorials are always amazing and so clear to follow along with. Thanks a bunch from me for helping me get started so nicely in something I never knew could be just as rewarding as music, which I've spent my life learning. I'm gonna be an awesome 3D artist.

What I appreciate about your tutorials is there isn't much fluff or filler. You explain and get straight to the point of what something is and why you're doing this. You teach habits to create a practical work flow to create muscle memory of hot keys. This is how a tutorial should be done.

Finally!! The best texturing course ever created from the goat himself 🔥🔥🔥

[@hardwire666too]

I know this video is for beginners but it's worth mentioning. You should be using a displacement maps and a normal maps for two different levels of detail. Displacement still requires geometry you use it for around mid level detail. Anything that will affect silhouette. Normal maps allow you to provide a higher levels of detail that would not otherwise be possible without tens, or hundreds of millions of poly's. If both maps are providing the same level of detail then the shot should determine which is used. Displacement for close ups and normal for everything else. It's not a "don't do this its wrong" and more of a "Know when to do it" kind of thing. The fact cycles has problems with this should be considered a bug as it is a common industry practice to use both in tandem. As well these problems can be mitigated hence why it not beginner, but important to know.

[@ilkkarosma5528]

Right, makes zero sense not to combine the strengths of both approaches.

[@marcelodias8019]

I had this same issue last week, and I couldn't find definitive answers, I understand your reasoning, but Blender Guru addresses this by using "Displacement and bump" in the displacement properties, this, as per Blender documentation means that Blender will use Displacement for the low levels "silhouette" and the high details to be handled as a bump map from the same displacement texture. Industry might use Normal maps combined with Displacement, but it doesn't make it the most accurate way, it can add detail, lots of fake things add details that make stuff look more realistic but aren't actually. It's a similar issue as if you are to combine 2 normal maps together with just a mix node, it works, it adds detail, but it's obviously wrong. I would love to understand how other engines handle this, the way I see that you can combine the normal and displacement, is that if you have the low details on the displacement only, and the high frequency details only on the normal, thus they will never overlap, and I have seen PBR textures created like this before. but if the normal map and the displacement map are representing the same detail, even if the displacement doesn't have enough polys to displace the finer ones, the normal and displacement are still doubling the strength of the low frequency details, this might even make things worse, because it's creating a contrast, where the low frequency details are double the strength, and the finer details are normal... so it may make it impossible to tweak and unrealistic.

[@hardwire666too]

​@@marcelodias8019 The entire purpose of this is to keep poly count low for animation. Then you use subdivision at render time to allow the displacement map to do its thing, and the normal map to augment that even further while not adding more unneeded geometry. I often use a 4K displacement with an 8K normal. If the displacement map in Cycles is doing more than displacing geometry that is a bad implementation. As well after seeing this I did a couple experiments and found that I could dial things in by mixing the the displacement with pure black, and the normal map with 50% Blue (50% Red and Green with 100% Blue). This allowed me to find a balance using the mix node factor on each. At the end of the day though all that matters is the shot. If the shot is right it doesn't matter how you got there as long as you were on budget and time. The only reason I say anything is because while this might be a Blender thing, this is not what the rest of the world is doing, and it does it for very specific reasons.

[@marcelodias8019]

@@hardwire666too I might be missing something, but Displacement displaces geometry, normals fake that displacement. if you create a pbr texture of something with a crease of 1cm deep, and then you use a displacement map it will be 1cm deep (assuming correct scale), but if you then add a normal map to it on top, the normals will make it look even deeper than 1 cm.. again I am not arguing this doesn't work or shouldn't ever be used, I am saying that the most realistic way to replicate the crease depth is to use indeed just the displacement map... wether it looks better one way or another is for the user to decide, what is realistically correct appears to me this. but maybe I am missing something?

[@johnsmith56920]

What I'd really like is to be able to use a mask for the displacement. For instance something like the Fresnel map, but without having to bake it every time you change the view. I know of the "normal-camera axis cosine near 0" trick in Geonodes but it is not entirely satisfactory either. I built myself a tool that generate bumps (body hair, pores, little threads of fabric...) on a curve following the outline of the model. I use the bumps for the 'field' and my tool for the outlines but it is still not user friendly because I don't know how to get the curves outlining the model automatically. Is it possible to get the outline automatically?

[@AetherExperiments]

I just completed the first part of the Guru’s abandoned house tutorial (after finishing the Donut tutorial) and was starting texturing and was totally lost so I searched up texturing for beginners and this video came up top of the results. Talk about perfect timing! I’m so grateful for these videos Guru, thank you!

I'm so glad to see you back at making these. I've been using blender for decades at this point, but as much as it changes, there will always be more to learn.

Fun shortcut tip for faster mixing of images or shaders like in 24:37 - Press [Control + Shift + Right Mouse button] and drag the cursor over the nodes you wish to mix and let go. It will automatically mix them.

Node Wrangler should be enabled.

[@andallicansayis]

@@rajendrameena150 i believe it's enabled by default since 4.2

[@morielpereira4299]

in my blender somehow node wrangler just disapeared and I've spent the whole day trying to uderstand that shortcut he used on the ambient occlusion part, now I'm struggling because my displacement map is not working in any way, haaaaaaaa it does not distort the geometry, I've watched so many tutorials about this topic but nothing seems to fix it, like blender updated with this bug

[@AviShpayer]

​@@morielpereira4299 Node Wrangler: To enable Node Wrangler, try the following steps: 1. Go to the Edit menu in the menu bar, then select Preferences. 2. In the Preferences window, navigate to the Add-ons tab. 3. Look for a section labeled "Missing Built-in Add-ons" at the top and expand it. 4. Search for "Node Wrangler" and ensure it is enabled. Displacement: To troubleshoot the displacement map issue, please check the following: 1. Geometry: Ensure your mesh has sufficient subdivisions to support displacement (more faces allow for better detail). 2. Displacement Map: Verify that the displacement map image is correctly loaded. You can do this by going to the Rendering workspace and checking if the image is visible and selectable. 3. Node Connections: Ensure that the displacement map image is connected to the Height input of the Displacement node. 4. Material Output: Confirm that the Displacement node is connected to the Displacement input of the Material Output node. 5. Material Settings: In the Properties panel, under Material > Settings, make sure that the Displacement option is set to Displacement and Bump rather than Bump Only. Hope I helped.

This is also a useful video for a Substance Painter user as I am. I learnt: - How to use Normal maps and Displacement maps in optimum way - How to add masks and use already existing maps to control it. From Poliigon or SP or any other source - How to paint using Vertex paint instead of more complex Texture paint. We can use more low res Vertex paint since we anyway is only manipulating already existing high res images/maps

30:00 Not using a displacement and a normal map together makes sense if you think about it. A Displacement map is used to provide information to create a mesh. A Normal map is used to fake a mesh, when no mesh is needed or you use it for performance reasons. It's to different things, apples and pears.

[@andallicansayis]

@TheNerd i don't quite agree, normal maps can be used to add scratches and whatnot - small details that don't need to be displaced

This tutorial can be very helpful for texturing a broken an dirty environment. The problem I still keep running into is that it solves the issue of tiling by adding destruction and distortion.

Excellent tutorial. I’ll be trying to adapt it for Octane since I’ve only ever used that in Blender. Regarding the normal and displacement use. I was watching and thinking if they both have the same information, surely you shouldn’t use them. I guess, for me, the only time that is not true, is if you have, for example, sculpted something yourself, and the displacement is creating the large forms and the normal is creating the finer details. That’s certainly how I would always do it creating maps from Zbrush.

I was shouting that at various other tutorials into the void for ages 🤣 The really confusing part comes with the fact that some realtime shaders for game engines for performance reasons often don't do light on displaced vertice normals, but on undisplaced ones. So there you actually DO NEED both maps. Which must be messing hard with beginner texture artist brains.

I've been a blender user for several years so not a newbie, but even so I always find useful info I previously didn't know in your vids. The colour dodge trick is a good one - I'll be keeping that as well as the normal map plus displacement anomaly. Now if you can just show me how to make a convincingly lifelike, customisable brushed steel texture, that can be used radially, straight and circular, that would be your next challenge :-) I've tried every technique in the book and they all look okayyy but not really great. The poliigon textures are generally great but even the poliigon brushed steel one doesn't look amazing when applied to small items like watches. I think maybe I'm just doing it wrong, haha.
