Practical Material Development in Blender

[@BrandonHubbard1996]

So this is single-handedly, the most helpful texture tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin. I’ve been doing blender for a little over a year now and always struggled with textures. Because of this, I have purchased a lot of different texture packs that are really good but this makes me feel like I wasted my money. I didn’t realize texturing can be so simple. No one else on KZbin explained it this well

[@DerekElliott]

Thanks Brandon. Glad to get you moving

I totally agree'

[@saintjames9]

I'm a moderate-level Blender user - very advanced in some ways and total rookie in others - and I've tried many tutorials to varying degrees of success, but these past two videos were so helpful in cementing down a sub-d/shrink wrap workflow + a comprehensive material guide that doesn't require further handholding that I'm subbing to the Patreon. Don't even know what's on there. Not sure that I care. Just extremely thankful for these tuts. I feel liberated in Blender and all the technical limitations are out of the way. It's just me and my creativity now. Derrk is goated.

[@DerekElliott]

Glad you like the stuff . Keep at it

[@kundaimhonda9803]

i agree..........GOATED

It is often very boring to watch lessons on youtube, but yours is like freash breath of air. Very useful stuff without bullshit. You have unique style of telling that hold me up until the end of the video. I'm not beginner in blender, but your even basic things are interesting to watch again. Keep going!

[@Aysdzn]

man you're just the perfect human i love u

[@fzkrm]

Derek is a new Andrew Kramer from our generation lol Mad Respect!

[@micemincer]

Boosting colour is my favourite tip :) great tut, THX. I think you can mix the colour already in colour ramp ( 01:39:33 ) - no need to output it to factor and change colours there, this way you can incorporate third or fourth colour on the ramp. Instead of sheen on the fabric I use layer weight or fresnel node (mix it with base color) and add lighter value on the outer rim - this way I can control the fuzziness of the fabric :)

[@DerekElliott]

Great tips

[@anshulgoyal8037]

Finally its here. I've been waiting for this. Brilliant tutorial

[@DerekElliott]

The wait is over

[@ridwanorigin5595]

[@imafidonglory5851]

I used your tutorial to make a model of the Nike air force 1 and now a material tutorial is out...Swwweeeeettt!😄 Thank you very much.

[@DerekElliott]

nice, looking forward to seeing it

[@prod.prettyboy]

thank you for your help bro, you really taught me how to get a general feel for how to develop a shoe from start to finish, def an insanely great starting point! appreciate you!

[@BeardRobot]

Man, your lighting makes that poop shoe look REAL' good.

[@graemeh6345]

Love the chapters breakdown! Nice video and very informative. Thank you.

[@DerekElliott]

geez yeah that took a sec but glad it was helpful

[@barbiefan3874]

01:04:48 it's not entirely unrealistic when you consider UV light, which when bounces off a certain materials turns into visible light (fluorescence) thus "reflects" more (visible) light than what hit it. Think of white shirt under UV light at a club, it literally glows. In many detergents there are ingredients which play on that fact and make white clothes look even more "white". So I would not be surprised if there was a plasticky neon-green resin in a shoe with this property just to look cool.

[@pubgarmy4940]

Kudos man. You kept it very simple and helped make the first steps in soft soft. Very Helpfull! Thanks!

[@prabhattiwari5089]

Invaluable content. Really impressed with the style. Thank you for these videos.

[@perrogreen]

Thank you so much Derek, I think you are not aware of the importance of your tutorials. I've been struggling these last years findings something like this and it was impossible. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU...thank you for your effort, for being such an altruistic person and thank you for share all your knowledge with us :,) For sure I'm going to visit your Patreon so I can give you back a bit although I know never will be enough in comparison. GBU!

43:24 , if anyone is facing no bumps showing in cycles like that in your latest blender version then just go to the render settings and just untick the open shading language present just below the gpu /cpu option
