Create GLASS TEXTURES with IMPERFECTIONS! Complete Guide! | Blender 3D Tutorial

[@nikolagojkovic9361]

For anyone who is stuck on the Vertex color mask part (16:03), the Shortcut for "set vertex color," Shift + K, has been changed to CTRL + K in Blender 4.0.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@toom_fm457]

It's Ctrl + X in Blender 4.1 and 4.2 !

The tutorials wait for no one XD

[@Evan_the_cat]

This is the most informative and engaging blender tutorials that I've watched! (I've watched hundreds)

[@hanktremain]

"why are we whispering?"

[@victoriagdalevich3164]

ASMR + Blender tutorial 😁

[@ercanunsalerturk6138]

@@victoriagdalevich3164 the only problem is, this is not an asmr video. It is quite frusturating.

[@SubhrajyotiAcharyyaDSB]

bruh. this is one of the best tutorials on blender anywhere.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment :)

[@vonown3d]

Oh i love the deep whispers as someones telling me a secret.

[@lewisanimation]

I guess "The Secrets of Glass Texturing" could work as a title :)

[@vonown3d]

@@lewisanimation ill be watching this tutorial, can this be used to get imperfections to lets say shiny plastic?

[@lewisanimation]

@@vonown3d Absolutely, you can pretty much add imperfections to any material this way! You just change the glass material at the start to the shiny plastic material you want to use, then layer the imperfections on top!

[@emilycesaire1685]

as someone who is on love with white noise and rain sounds (can't live without them lol), this man's voice was a perfect match for the type of sounds i like

[@marcofarbedreid]

After 3 years of using Blender, there is no doubt in my mind, yours is the best tutorial I have come across so far.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much that really means a lot :)

[@victoriagdalevich3164]

I love your storytelling voice!! Usually, I get annoyed in tutorials but you nailed it

[@gamingbruv]

Honestly best tutorial I've seen so far. Pace is fast but not overwhelming, every second isn't wasted, all options are presented next to each other smoothly. Your work is nicely organized too. Not to mention the lovely delivery with your soothing voice. Love it.

[@lewisanimation]

Really glad you like it! Thank you so much :) Plenty more content on the way!

[@billkage4279]

This is the tutorial that I finally understood how shading really works in Blender. You should do more video tutorials like this. You have a natural way of explaining things clearly. Thanks very much!

[@lewisanimation]

That's so good to hear! Really glad it helps and there's plenty more content on the way :)

[@Argyll9846]

Excellent! Not too sure about the breathless commentary, but the message gets through.

[@AcrioAlarius]

Watched first 5 minutes and I think it will be a nice tutorial. I like how you explained the masking process in a clean way with animations to back the words. Subscribed and will be watching more of it later, thanks!

[@lewisanimation]

Amazing! Really glad it's helpful and welcome to the channel :)

[@I_am_Spartacus]

Probably the best tutorial on glass on YT.... absolutely outstanding....

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! I'm really glad you like it :)

[@terryrhuebottom]

One of the biggest takeaways I've gotten from this is how to layer properly. Honestly, I had always thought it was the other way around. Super helpful

[@lewisanimation]

Happy to hear it! :)

[@antoniomarchante457]

Many times I see comments in tutorials like "this is the best turorial I have seen", but often feel its an overstatement. This is not the case. Fair to say one of the best I have seen, I came to learn about how to make a realistic glass shader, but I feel I found one of the best if not the best intermediate tutorial about blender shading that I have seen. The masks part its amazing, the overall quality and the amount of useful tips and well presented information. Simply amazing. Thanks so much for this gift.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it :) Really glad you found it helpful

[@therealKrak]

You got a calming voice, sounds like whispering which makes this somewhat mysterious but I like it. Fits perfectly for your explanations and they are very clear and easy to understand. Great job

[@lewisanimation]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@fracaru9214]

I've been using blender for years but I had never seen such a clear explanation of nodes and masks! keep going 👍🏻

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much I really appreciate the comment :) Plenty more content on the way!

[@iliassmg]

We need more of this type of videos, keep going man, really like the videos.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)

[@Azeal]

wow, this was PERFECT. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! :)

[@adrianfels2985]

How the heck is this for free? This is by far the best shading tutorial I have seen so far. And I am only at 4:48. It's insane that you explain things like why we don't see some patches in the mask but on the glass AND you show it in an animated scene. Holy moly. Thank you so much for that!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you very much! Really glad you like the tutorial :)

[@lewisanimation]

[@adrianngangi]

What a Gem, I love how you breakdown each and every node and the purpose of it including the alternatives. I think you need to post more videos with this kind of format and I bet you'll reach 1M sub in no time If I may request for future tutorial, could you please create more organic objects such as how to make Food, Plants, Animal or Human to look realistic. I think that is one niche that not many blender creators are aware of. Thanks in advance Lewis

[@JoelChapmanTheHumanist]

So grateful for this tutorial! I'm a professional still life retoucher, and layers and organization is so important to my workflow. This really helped me nail down a way to be organized within my nodes setups that parallel my retouching workflow. Thank you so much.

@@lewisanimation so many fantastic tips in this. I keep coming back to it. 🙌🏻 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@minhanhbui3325]

absolutely amazing , this is straight up a gem

[@DrTheRich]

One *VERY* important thing to not forget is to set the *_glossy bounces_* high enough too. Because the light will bounce around within the glass, until the glossy bounce limit is reached, and will result in black artifacts in especially borders and bevels, when looked at from a shallow angle. It took me ages to figure out where those black artifacts came from, as I had transmission bounces high enough, but those don't count towards inner material reflections.

[@lewisanimation]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this, it'll be very helpful to a lot of people :)

[@Alex-tm2re]

well, that's excellent advice, my render becomes 5x better after I change glossy from 0 to 20 :D
