Dude, I've been collecting ways to detect edges/wireframes, and it's a pain. It's simple enough by using geonodes and generating real geo, but doing it via shader only (especially in Eevee) is kinda hard. You can store edge angles as attributes and then use it for shading (good edge wear), I wish you could also use geonodes to mark edges freestyle - this, I believe, is yet to be exposed as a parameter to geonodes. One very funny thing you can do to edge detect in live is to create a gaussian blur edge detector shader, and use it as a lens for your scene. You'd have to use Glass BSDF + Shader to RGB to calculate it though, since we can't otherwise blur the result easily.

Some great shader tips/hacks in this video. You should make a video on roughness truncation! I've got a tutorial on my channel but it'd be great if you popularized the technique.

@MikePouch Ай бұрын

I have a simple way that I do wireframes that I never hear talked about. Not a shader (or worse, modifier), but rather, I just use the wireframe viewport shading, turn off or reduce X-Ray, turn off overlays, and then Viewport Render Image or Animation. "Renders" lightning fast, and you can adjust the colors of the lines in material settings, or just make them randomized per object. You could just render it completely black and white and then composite it over a real proper render.

@ubaidsamad4526 2 күн бұрын

@@us2ra the method they're talking about is a Difference of Gaussians operation, it's more commonly used in graphics programming for "edge detection" and it's done by getting two images that are gaussian blurred with two different sigma values (different kernel sizes in this case) and running a difference operation on the two, this will give you an image with approximate outlines, although used with shader nodes may make it more accurate, I've yet to mess with it in shader nodes myself though so I can't tell you what node order to do for this.

There were quite a few tips where I initially thought "oh, I know this one" - immediately followed by: "OOoh, that's even cleverer", really really good collection. Appreciate your speed and conciseness too. Just imagine this was in the normal youtuber speed. The moment you'd get to the end, a newer blender version would have already come out making some of these obsolete...

@AlexFremdwelt Ай бұрын

All I understood is that if you spoke twice as fast, you could show us about 40 tips in the same amount of time.

@AHSEN. Ай бұрын

8:24 beware, this is a box blur and won't look very good. By summing a bunch of white noise nodes, you can get a sort of gaussian distribution (the more you have, the more accurate it will be, at the cost of performance), or you can build a circle distribution function by using xy from the white noise texture as polar coordinates and applying sqrt(x) on the radius. Good video as always :). I'll definitely use that ambient occlusion based procedural texturing technique!

@plusonerabbit Ай бұрын

4:11 just a note: this is reinterpreting the values that make up the normal vectors as points in 3D space and measuring the euclidean distance between them, so how big the output is doesn't really *mean* anything concrete besides 0 = same. it might also have a bit of an odd curve to its output. if you ever want to actually measure *how* different they are, rather than whether they're different at all, you should take the dot product of the two normals and pass it into an arc cosine, which will give you the angle difference in radians

@micahsmith6472 Ай бұрын

I’ve actually used the point density node exactly once for a very specific use case. I was making a balloon animation of it inflating and deflating using cloth physics and the pressure settings, and I used point density to drive the mix factor between 2 shaders - one for the opaque, rough, darker colored deflated balloon and one for the translucent, shiny, lighter colored inflated balloon. It took a lot of time to dial in the settings but it turned out pretty good in the end. Of course, now a lot of that could be made much better and probably more easily with geometry nodes driving the factor with an attribute, but fields didn’t even exist yet back when I made it.

21:20 this method has a nuance if you want one face gap between selection cause of vertex storing attribute. That can be annoying to fix this by using two vertex groups for nearby vertexes, but "Shift Ctrl Numpad +" hotkey (Select Next Active) can be usefull in these cases. I`ve also heard about edges groups and faces groups addons. Seems cool but didn`t use them

I've managed to get everything working except the geo proximity at 22:38 - I just have a blank face with no sign of the string. It's such a simple little node tree but I can't figure out what on earth I'm doing wrong. I can preview the meshed curve, I can preview the plane, but once I connect the Distance noodle to the viewer it's pure white. Connecting the plane geometry and the Distance to the group output just shows the plane. Any ideas?

Ah shit, I didn't subdivide the plane enough. At least now I know what I was doing wrong.

both will behave the same as long as your object has uniform/applied scale. Basically the difference is that generated will deform when you scale your object and object will not. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWfSaHmKipadrKs
