Easy Detailed Textures in Blender - Edge Wear & Grunge

[@DreamSpyVFX]

Really love these. It's the small details that really add to scenes. Much appreciated.

[@alfbec3897]

your videos are always awesome... You explain everything so clearly and simply. Without people like you who share their knowledge with many others, Blender would be no fun.

[@sharathudupas]

Love the tutorial. The way you explain is so beginner freindly. Really helpful.

[@priyadarshanpradhan8387]

Love these videos, like when you are lazy and don't know what to do I watch videos like yours and improve my blender skills.

[@I_am_Spartacus]

Your best video yet Max!!! You really explained this simply, rather then getting people to just plug this into this without understand what each nodes effect had in the process.. well done! Getting edge wear in cycles can be really tricky and I've watched so many different way, but none did that little trick where you made the white value 10... top work!!

[@S4pphireFli3s]

Great tutorials. If you have node wrangler addon enabled you can select the material press ctrl shift T browse to the maps folder select all the files albedo roughness normal press principle texture button and it sets it all up manually. Same thing with octane if you have node wrangler octane version. Saves a ton of time. Also works for megascans, browse to the megascan texture directory and apply them to the models that come in grey shaded.

[@Cerafem]

I'm *pretty* sure that when you attach a color or vector output into a value input, it doesn't take the average or luminance across the channels, it takes the first index of the multiple channels, with color that means it takes the Red channel. Since your image is pretty desaturated, that's probably fine but it's important to know.

[@bendvfx]

You are genius. Always finding the best and applicable tricks in the fast and most simple way to implement and explain. Thank you a lot Max!

[@tanhoang763]

The way everything showed is so clear and concise. This video has helped me a lot with these types of texture. Thank you Max!

[@justchris846]

I thought learning to code was a good thing, Then I see how fun and how much work it is to be a good 3d modeler. Thank you , Max!

[@Bogdan-Lupu]

Great info. I had a mess in the Node editor to make it realistic. With AO is too easy. Thank for the video

[@dembe3188]

Brother your general comments about nodes explained me some stuffs I never realised lmao Thanks G !

[@DeepakDadisetty]

So elegant Max. Always loved it. The content flow is so uniform, keep it up.

[@mxjxn-art]

Great tutorial, I'd never used this ambient occlusion trick before

[@scansionmusic]

the sighs in the middle make me think Max is trying so hard to make it as beginner friendly as possible! xD Keep up the good work man!

[@aggressivenade]

I always found too many nodes scary so i used to just use some tricks to avoid using too many nodes but that always resulted in underperforming textures and this video just removed thay scare for me. Im not scared to use tons of nodes now. Ty

[@paladin117]

I learnt a lot from you and your tutorial but now I cant say I'm very exited find you you are amazing

[@shrigurnalkar]

This guy is Absolute Genius. Thanks bro love from INDIA

[@perilzof1]

Thank you! Always a pleasure to watch you work.

[@theloob]

what am doing is making node groups so i can move them in to over matirials plus it makes it easer to find and edit them

[@BanisherofRadiance]

We need more tutorials out there like this. Not just telling you to do A then B then C but explaining what A does and how it works, what B does and how A affects it and then moving onto C and how that works with what happened at A and B. Actually showing how to use Blender instead of how to do this 1 specific thing in Blender and having no idea how you actually got there at the end. Love the work ty Max

[@harris2642]

Exactly, this kind of teaching enables us to expand further on these concepts. Now I know how he made edge wear using ambient occlusion, I can use this to help make things like polished effect or chipped edges etc.

[@JrgenFrderbergTvedt]

This is so useful, i need to get this in my standard routine. Thanks a bunch !

[@vitorhenriques487]

Just perfect, many thanks for the class

[@MuhammadQasim-lg2bs]

Great tutorial man, love these kinds of videos!

[@nixonmanuel6459]

This was super thorough! Thank you!

[@macronomicus]

Nice trick with the colorramp, all these years I never knew you could have a value above 1 lol I suggest you try out the GeoNodes method for edge/cavity, works great in Eevee & Cycles, & its not screenspace so doesnt get weird on larger objects. Basically you just pass a named attribute containing 'Edge Angle' to your material shader, there's a tutorial on youtube about i, nicest thing is its super fast unlike ambient occlusion can be on massive objects.

[@botmaster3820]

Thank you so much I've been struggling so much with learning grunge as I want to make dirty industrial scenes this has helped me so much

[@juniorjustjunior]

in case you are having trouble finding the effects of the shader work you are doing, switch the viewport mode to Render View, Material view won't show you the affects. (this had me confused for a good 20 minutes).

[@rcarendsen]

Oh boy. Thank you for this tutorial. Very well explained. Once i start thinking the factor being a mask it became all logical. I was trying for weeks to create an old .. aged texture for ancient structures . I guess we can all bake this in a standard texture for games or 3d world viewers ? Thank you again .. ❤👍

[@kavo9216]

This video so helpful holyyy

[@Satan_said_DRAW]

Yeeeaaahh, indepth tutorial, thats the stuff👍🏻

how did you get a commercial license for Quixel mega scan on blender? Been trying and i cant find anything.

[@joseterran]

amazing work! thank you for sharing!

[@jayweb702]

When I add the ambient Oclusion it doesn't seem to do anything. i don't see shadows like you have. Any ideas?

thank you Max

[@ZephrusPrime]

Have you ever thought about using UE5 to use Lumen and nanite for your style? Just curious on what you think about the difference between the two programs in your workflow.

[@callskii]

Your videos are great

[@fernandoprieto1340]

If I apply THE TEXTURE to YOUR model it wraps around it nicely. But if I make a similar model or any model and apply the same exact texture it looks all stretched out in some faces. Why is this? Did you manually adjust something in your model? Thanks

[@LeNeet]

Amazing video as usual

[@mkfantasy-t8g]

Perfect timing

[@amorarubus333]

if i may ask something, id like to know why you had to put the color ramp brithest color to above 1 value to make the multiply work instead of using overlay or lighten - something to use the white values.

[@erosschiavon2987]

so smart and easy. fucking genius

[@Игнашов.Е]

Awesome!

[@disneypatterson8667]

Amazing. What's that Blender theme you're on?

[@killwon2K]

man youre the greatest!!!

[@kygumo2671]

For some reason, Blender 4.0.2 crashes for me when I switch to Render Mode and have the Ambient Occlusion node on one of my materials. Do you know how to fix this?

[@artispaw]

i would like to watch more cyberpunk if it's possiblle, ty for content

[@cc.creationz]

Great video dude!

[@maxhayart]

Thanks man 😃

[@Amedinagracia]

Great video! Does textures something to do with not seeing my renders the same way in my phone? I've been changing color management but it doesn't work. What do you do so yours look so amazing in social media? D:

[@alstor4746]

The ambiant occlusion node make my pillar totally white whatver the setting i use on it. Is there is a subtility i missed?

[@ajinkyaghegade1282]

Thank you so much man...

pretty cool, but still requires UV right??

where can i get your theme?

[@rakeshmani8787]

Who did not visible shadows 1) change the evee to cycles in render settings 2)and the top right viewport options change to last ball(render type),thats it.

max wtf is that color choise for the blender hud

[@liebespaar93]

thank U

[@visualdistortionvfx3859]

thanks!

[@gyanendramishra9043]

hey when im doing the texture i am getting some stretched results, please let me know why???

[@fernandoprieto1340]

When I apply the texture to any other model other than the one that Max provides I get the same problem

[@Mnh092]

cannot open your file, it's always crash on my side

[@zenthous9568]

That colour scheme is so hard to read lol

[@TomMAF4]

I recently tried using the AO node for grunge but I found that in the scene I'm working on my volumes erased the AO effect where they intersected with the object. Is this something you've ran into or might I just be doing something wrong here?

[@TomMAF4]

Obviously I can bake it, but I'd rather do it procedurally ofc

[@maxhayart]

Yeah if you press the “Only Local” checkbox in the AO node it shouldn’t interact with any other objects

[@TomMAF4]

@@maxhayart Ah, the only thing is I do want the AO from other objects as this is for the grunge that builds up the in corners/crevices where objects interact. I just wish there was a way to stop specific objects interacting with the AO I guess

[@loldemort1824]

Using multiply to brighten just feels wrong :D

Then bake the wear into the textures and get all these nodes out of your game.

Love it Max! I’m trying to achieve the same effect in UE5 but there is no ambient occlusion node🥲

@@proceduralcoffeei wouldn’t have commented if i found it💀

[@maxhayart]

If you can’t do it there, you may want to try something like substance painter or quixel mixer! I don’t know much about these programs but I’ve seen some incredible results.

[@VPFX]

You'll only find AO where you have raytracing rendering - So UE does not have AO. What you can do is bake AO maps out from Blender and import that into UE as a texture on your model.

[@dvnxxl222]
