Create Custom Material Node Groups in Blender for Beginners (Ultimate Guide)

[@fergadelics]

Building groups was one of those things that made me feel really empowered starting out. It’s a satisfying feeling having something of your own sitting there at the ready with all the built in nodes

[@RyanKingArt]

for sure!

This is awesome - everything in one video! (The time stamps are particularly helpful.) Thank you very much, Ryan!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you for your Super Thanks! Glad you like it! 😃

This method of making color values editable from a Node group was already clever on its own, but using an array of Color Ramps to mask different sections is a whole new level! Never would've come up with it myself.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, it takes a bit of work to setup, but it works!

[@crystalnadeau254]

Your are by far one of my favorite channels for Blender! I will be coming back to this quite often I can already tell! Thank you so much!

I haven't even begun to watch this yet, but it's exactly what I've been looking for. Since the Allegorithmic takeover by Adobe, I've effectively lost interest in Substance, since as a hobbyist Adobe's payment systems are very unpleasant for me. I know blender probably can't quite match up to the quality level without a whole lot more effort, but his tutorial will give me everything I need to get started with it.

When you set the noise texture detail to have a smaller range than the Musgrave, you could just use a map range to map 0-15 to 0-6.

i am so happy you made this video i immedialtely saved it to my own study playlist i will need a long time to study everything here. also i have a question that ive seen some people make plants with lot of leaves but how can i do that without the particles (the leaves) overlapping everywhere? or do they not use particles for that? thanks

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you like the video! Maybe sometime I can make a video on how to make plants.

[@fearthesmeag]

Hey Ryan, any idea why the default 'green' color is not showing when inside the Node Group? Is this a 3.5 issue or by design now?

[@infuriatinghealer]

I'm testing Blender's latest alpha build, and that edit driver menu is now a full menu with a separate UI...its confusing me but i'm trying to incorporate your tutorial info in the new version. it is now a graph editor like the one we use to control flow of frames.

[@Unknown-xx4ki]

Can you help me? I want to learn shading and I don't know when to use certain nodes to get the material that I want. Do you have any tips?

[@RyanKingArt]

I have a procedural nodes for beginners tutorial that you could check out. And you can also check out my procedural material tutorial playlist, to get in lots of practice making materials. And If you keep on practicing I'm sure it will get easier! 🙂

[@omg_squid6949]

What’s the difference between procedural textures and PBR textures?

[@RyanKingArt]

PBR textures are using image files on your computer, like .JPG or PNG, while procedural texture are generated textures created within Blender, like the noise texture.

I love your channel. Unfortunately my level of English is not good enough. I see your videos with subtitles but I don't know why it is disabled in this one. I would really appreciate it if you would activate it. Thanks a lot. Congratulations on your channel.

[@RyanKingArt]

I did not disable it. The KZbin auto subtitles were just not created, I don't know why. And it would take way to much time for me to manually type in all of the subtitles. But I will see if I can get KZbin to auto generate them.

[@sebastiangorza7338]

@@RyanKingArt Don't worry. I thought you could activate it. No problem. I will pay more attention. thanks again and congratulations.☺

@@RyanKingArt it's a pity. If possible, I would like to ask you to try re-uploading the video, as I believe that a significant part of your audience does not speak English

I'm still weirded out about the fact you have over 100k subs and such a low view count on your videos, it doesn't make sense, if that's the youtube algorithm, well, it sucks...

Yeah, I would have expected that I would get more regular views by the time I reached this amount of subscribers. But thankfully I am able to support myself financially through my online business, so that is enough. 🙂
