You are a life saver, this format of tutorial is top tier. Fast and straight to the point

[@jeffwaweru]

You're like another Ian Hubert in the quick concise delivery that packs so much !

[@SilentShiba]

One thing i would want is a shot of a render of every major step, it would help me to know what's happening at each step with clarity, and would let me know when I can deviate from the tutorial if I'm going for a different look, or find something interesting in an intermediary step

[@antonfleming6456]

It really helps! Please, don't stop ❤️

[@Smeaf]

Amazing! Thanks for letting me know 🔥🙏

[@doughnut5286]

Thank you! It Helped So Much!!!

[@Ehdy8878]

Thanks bro you really show step by step I'm a new subscriber..

[@yoajp]

adaptive subdivision only works when the subdivide is after the solidify? Looks like it was "removed" when you added the solidify. @2:16

[@pianoatthirty]

Your tutorials are magic.

[@Smeaf]

Thank you! 🔥

[@mjaroszcom]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. How to combine with custom image texture?

[@Simon_Raden]

Hi mate thanks for the video! however, when it comes for me to do the "displacement & bump" part it does not change anything; i have carefully re-followed all the steps and i have not missed any. HELP!

[@evelyns3dshop]

thank you for the tutorial!

[@ralexnicholas]

O-M-G!!!!! Great tutorial! I used Firefox's download helper to download this video, then I slowed the speed down to like 25%, and I was able to follow each and every step of your tutorial. I'm going to have to check out your other videos!

[@lisantic]

You can adjust the speed of a video here in KZbin: Go to a video. Hover over the player and click Settings . Click Speed. Select the speed at which you'd like the video to play.

[@nikkisaha8830]

Love this video, you look so good, thank you 💖

[@Smeaf]

Thank you!

[@yapanwolf]

thx, i want to know hot to unwrapp this fabric when i want to export it to ue5 . do i need to add solidify mod.? if yes, have i to unwrapp it as simple box before modifications?

[@ajavilh4140]

so appreciate it !!!!!

[@ciroguastamacchia7763]

SUPER!!!!!!!!!!

[@zainzafar1822]

Great insipiration for new comers..

[@azoo_23]

Thank you! great explanation.

[@marvira]

Damn, my laptop can't handle this. I can still hear the fan from miles away lol. Thanks for the tutorial

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

I like to avoid using displacements for this reason. Try Bump instead.

[@sashamarie5799]

@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 can you explain how to incorporate the bump node into this tutorial? Because displacement is not working well for me either and I just get a pixelated mess in my preview.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

@@sashamarie5799 Displacement goes into the “Height” input, and the “Normal” output goes to the “Normal” inputs of your shaders.

[@Booga_1720]

Can you use a color attribute for magic texture?

[@eatsleepsniff]

Thank you! Super simple and helpful! But how do you make something that looks like the lightly folded cloth at 02:35? Do you need more collision objects?

[@eliazarelizondo7075]

I hope you figured it out within the whole year! I personally find that more geometry helps/ more subdivisions!

[@lalokaluka4631]

Gracias guapo 🙌

[@arshamshayan]

FINALLY FINALLY I'VE LEARNT THE FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE also those particles are gonna kill your PC 💀💀

[@rorymackenziearthur]

Smeaf! Can you help us learn how to map a fabric print onto a fabric in blender?

[@peterlaverty9397]

Does adaptive make the scene heavy? Looks great but my little old nvidea cannot handle it lol

[@anne-mariebaars5184]

of course! I have been missing the fuzz this entire time!

[@avalonriotmedia8642]

Particle system settings worked way different for me entire bottom of fabric is covered in fuzz and its way to big idk if you scaled your plane or i scaled mine down or something but kinda confused. Anyways loved this tutorial overall, subbed Figured it out just by trimming the hairs in the particle settings

[@Smeaf]

You may need to apply your scale before adding the particle system, but i'm glad you found a work around!

[@zedsama4035]

How to do this on octagon shape?

[@Kowafatcompany]

subbed

[@itsssssxd9577]

after adding the solidfy my plane looked way diffrent and weird any help

[@Smeaf]

Only thing that I seem to see happen is the 'Scale' not being applied. Try applying the scale and that should hopefully resolve the issue!

[@raphaelcarvalho7180]

When I press CNTRL + T on the magic texture node nothing happens. I am on MAC, does anyone know how to do it? I have tried loads of different ways.

[@esraamohamed6025]

You need to enable node wrangler from preferences in the edit tab

[@RYOKO367]

so how do I even get to this point your starting at

[@dilshanranasinghe9509]

😍😍😍😍

[@ericmatthews9894]

I watch tutorial after tutorial, and they never work seem to work for me. Already after just adding the first 2 nodes and plugging in to material output mine looks nothing like this

[@thebanjo67]

Make sure you have every setting the same. Including being in render view versus material preview, and being in cycles instead of eevee.

[@D4leBryant]

I find no displacement node in either Blender 3.6 ES or Blender 4.0.1, only Displace Hair Curves.

[@boberzragadik]

thanks... can you do for suede? and wool texture for sweater? 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@boberzragadik]

and how do i export it? if i want an image to use and export it to substance painter as texture?

[@Smeaf]

Yes! That’s a great idea, for the texture export, you would need to do some baking of the texture to its own image. That’s a whole other topic and a bit hard to explain through a comment section. I’ll do my best to make a video for that topic in the future.

[@boberzragadik]

@@Smeaf thank you so much.. ill wait for the vids..🙏

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

Voronoi is also useful for some interesting textures. Tip: turn down the randomness.

[@beep3639]

I'm sorry, wtf kind of key shortcut did you use at 0:21 to connect the displacement node to the rendered output?

[@raphaelcarvalho7180]

Algo got lost in this.

Nice tutorial Need good machine for this

[@kesambetsan8396]

I sub it gives me fuzzy feeling

[@eraze4137]

Should I render it via CPU or GPU?

[@Smeaf]

Gpu if possible

[@mjaroszcom]

Whats size is the plane? I got dofferent results 😢

[@tylerhendy2495]

looks like he scales it to 4.5 at the start! I got a really weird, clunky result at the start as well.

[@BellaStar682]

thanks, my blender crashed almost instantly i subdivided it

[@pb9videos706]

Not working on Eevee

[@DageLV]

Press Cntrl+T with node wrinkler enabled. Yeah. What?

[@YourRulerKingDedede]

You made my computer crash

[@qaistudio1013]

wow brilliant

[@nbhn_9961]

My laptop just sounds like a car

[@courageouspigzilla6575]

the fabric still looked shiny after following the tutorial...and can close your project if you're not careful.
