Top 6 Blender Nodes To Make Any Material in Blender

[@aldorobertoconde]

First video i have seen that explains nodes so clearly. Thank you!

[@xtonybaloneyx]

clearer than most for sure.

[@cg_cookie]

Woot, glad we're able to help out - Wes

CBF is my new favorite guru of Blender.

[@blionart]

Completely agree

[@CBaileyFilm]

@@djC653 ​ Aw shucks thanks :-)

[@mikek9297]

This actually makes me curious instead of afraid of nodes. Thanks for that !!

[@cg_cookie]

Heck yes! - Wes

[@MiirVFX]

Literally me when i first knew nodes, feels like a deep deep ocean to learn it but it's really addicting when you get the look you want on your 3d stuffs

[@fogboyenterprise2724]

I've come to learn that nodes are your friend. When you find one that does something find another similar and try it out, stack 3 of the same node up and see what it does, put nodes in different inputs, it gets to be really fun lol

[@Linkario86]

I also like the Musgrave Texture

[@majako5672]

Oh, FINALLY - someone explains HOW - the process behind the action!! THANK YOU!! 99% of Blender tutorials just state: 'click this, click that' to make something and no one explains why should you choose particular node, what it actually does! Great explanation! Make more of these! :D

[@dasodesign2593]

My thoughts exactly.

[@donflamingo795]

Royal Sky LLC also did an in depth tutorial about shader but also much faster.

[@kazuyakanbara1395]

@@donflamingo795 I'll check it out thanks

[@No1001-w8m]

Yeah, people don't understand that we want to learn. We want to understand the process and not just replicate exact copy of tutorial.

[@Skyztamer]

I'm fairly new to texture work in Blender; but I 100% agree that bump map is the GOAT

[@lewismassie]

10 months into my Blender journey and I think I've used all of these in every single project so far. Also this editing is _F I R E_

[@sophiusdynami3401]

Oh thank you I was wondering what the transitions were.

[@computhenics]

The video editing, the music and the explanation are top notch. Never felt this good watching a video.

[@cg_cookie]

Yay! That's encouraging to hear. Thanks for hanging with the Cookie.

[@Hejirah]

yup, incredible

[@MartinToernby]

But what's up with the annoying intermissions? Maybe I'm boring. I'm here for the explanations. Alas, I like techno, but that's for when I'm on my bicycle. Allow me to recommend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ_WpKOGecmZY5o

A Blender tutorial or a network football game--? YOU be the judge! ;)

[@jakehammer1336]

Absolutely horrible I don’t know how you stand it, unnecessary edits and the music is annoying

[@heythatsnotmywalrus2819]

This 9.5 minute video took me hours to get through because it gave me so much to play with here and there, which I feel really gave me hands-on learning. Good stuff

[@marcoapaulo]

Is it too much if I say I almost cried along the video? I've never seen something so clearly explained and to make so much sense in such a short period of time... I'm blown away, really!

[@cg_cookie]

Thanks Marco, I'm chopping onions here as well in the Cookie kitchen - ❤️ - Wes

[@MikeCore]

dude, the hype in the video just made me so excited going through this. I need more of these just for the hell of it

[@kodeth5200]

I have always hated geometry nodes because the way popular blender people (blender guru guy) used it they never really expand on the why they're using it. What they do, THIS ON THE OTHER HAND this is EXACTLY what I wanted! Simple straight to the point. And with an example!! That's visual. YOU DESERVE THE SUB.

[@3dSensei952]

These are shader nodes, Not geometry nodes ;)

[@BeinIan]

I spent 2 hours last night trying to force a downloaded texture to fit a situation it's not designed for, and in just a few minutes you showed me that I can just make a better suited texture myself. Thank you!

[@ForeverDansky]

Absolutely fantastic explanations! Thanks for making something that can be quite complex, super simple!

[@LegoMaster132]

I really didn't expect you to be here :)

[@nedstudios6490]

WHAT?? Seriously, Chris on CG Cookie. This year just keeps getting better and better. I've been educating myself running about 10 tutorials a day. Been bucking for a better position at work. Should I get it, I have this guy to thank for it. Love the channel. Well done Chris

Man.....the video was a Banger. I'm absolute new to Blender but after watching this, I already feel like I can create anything.

[@heramaaroricon4738]

As a media designer I really fukn like how amazing professional and high quality this tutorial was. Take my subscription.

[@thefreshest2379]

When mixing a noise texture into the vectors you should use Linear Light mix. This is because noise adds an average of grey all over, which moves the vectors by 0.5, Linear Light does the subtraction for you.

Wow, the algorithm really got it right this time! Was playing around with noise textures yesterday and I was a bit bummed that I never got the result I wanted. Turns out this video which was just randomly selected for me solved my issue in such a perfect way, thank you!

[@melvinhoyk]

Each introduction was so cool with that great track, makes me so pumped up.

[@scale...3d]

Well, I have to say, this was nothing out of the ordinary. This was special. In most node videos, I go to learn how to use nodes but instead I just get more scared of how difficult it is to use nodes. This one felt different and had the opposite impact. Well, thanks. I encourage you to continue making more of these. Many like me are suffering. Enlighten us with your knowledge. Good night!

[@moaz9116]

Thank u sooo much I am 15 trying to learn to learn blender and this video taught me a lot thank u again ✨

[@mrhollywood1173]

WOW ........ you just made such clarity with this video. Material Textures etc. have always been a steep learning curve and this has help considerably. Cheers Mate.

[@xX_BeamCRASH_Xx]

at first when i saw the shader editor i was like "oh gosh this is too complicated", now im pretty confident with it

[@SixtySecondsorLess60]

So far best channel I've found for blender, ♥️ the timestamps

Explaining nodes in small but in a unique way...superb, thanks

[@jeremiahschwartz1930]

I got more progress in the half hour(paused a bunch to try along) i spent watching your video than the last week trying to figure out texture nodes myself. Thank you!

[@badlvckinc]

Incredibly informative and very well edited!!

[@TalkingGIJoe]

Texture coordinate node, Color ramp node, Noise texture node, Voroni texture node, Mix RGB node, Bump node... excellent info! Thanks for sharing!

[@samthompson2242]

I've already known how to use each of those nodes, but i've never seen anyone do something like that with them before! truly great work!

[@patizzcreations9928]

This is the first material tutorial that I've watched to the end, very informative

[@williamsmith6921]

I already had a pretty decent understanding of nodes but this pointed out some things that I never realized you could do, like the mapping manipulation

[@Meonnnn]

i love the way you edit your videos. it spice everything's up

[@FrostedZaibatsu]

Transparent and Mix Shader nodes are my frequent used nodes too

[@wgalloPT]

Dude!!!! This is so awesome I had to watch TWICE!!

[@levon024]

All in on Nodes now! Love the music and the breakdown of each node

[@rodrigowirsch351]

without a doubt that the way you teach how nodes work its the most effective way to learn it. Thank you Chris!

[@ThefamousMrcroissant]

This is a very good place to start with nodes. It shows you the most basic building blocks very clearly and doesn't waste much time. Thanks for making this.

best video i have seen till now the tutorial, the editing, the thaught 🔥 everything was top notch 🙌🙌 please make more videos like this ❣️

[@clarissadewet1401]

This helps so much. Should be watched before any other proçedural node videos. I was struggling to keep up with some of those. Had I watched this one first, it would have made a huge diffrence. Thank you so much!

Excellent tutorial. You really demystified nodes for me!! Thank you.

[@paulberryjam2069]

One of the best Blender Tourtorials!

Thanks, you just made me realise that i can do all the textures in blender procedurally too instead of needing additonal software like Substance Designer.

[@sriharsha5036]

Good lesson, 7:40, TIL, the bump, blues are low end of the texture values, the same controlled by bumps with the color ramp infront of it. You can make the bump apply to just reds if you want by using that color ramp infront of the bump node. Thank you.

[@janborodako231]

Definitely best tutorial about nodes

[@moradshebli9562]

HE SAID HE WILL SHOW US SUBSURFACE IN A MOMENT AND HE DIDNT! I WANT MY SUBSURFACE RIGHTNOW.

[@cofucan]

Me too. I was waiting for that.

[@AndyEngelkemier]

It's also pretty odd to completely ignore than Many many materials are transparent, and he didn't touch on that either.

[@L33T_Taco]

I think subsurface just allows for .. kinda a gradient reflection which you can set to a different color. So like its shiny and ones side is blue why the other edge looks pink. (if you set it to blue and pink) Least thats what i saw when I messed around in blender a bit.

[@AndyEngelkemier]

@@L33T_Taco There is a lot more to it than that, and you should probably look that up before commenting what you Think it does. subsurface, or SSS (SubSurface Scattering) is an advanced shader model that simulates light scattering and absorption. You can assign multiple colors, so for something like skin, the surface is your skin color, but the color inside is red. So if you shine a light at a thin part, it turns more red. You can also use it with the same color to get the look of a volumetric shader without having to go full volumetric. So you can get the look of milky plastics, orange juice, milk, etc. This is one of the materials that is Really difficult to control if you ignored real-world scale when modeling.

[@L33T_Taco]

Yeah what he said ^^^^
