[@DjTasteless]

hehe! can`t get enough of dat stuff! every single bean...!

[@MiguelRoque]

Perhaps one of the most useful videos i have ever seen

[@satishgoda]

I agree. Amazing tutorial. Thank you!

[@pinklady7184]

Precisely my thought.

[@AndrewPRoberts]

THIS. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET. MY GOD.

[@umairinhio]

This is the most condensed knowledge I have ever had in just 20 min about mixing texture and it opens up so so much possibilities! Just wow! Didn't know blender could do all this!

[@SardiPax]

Hi Gleb, for the repeating texture, just switch the 'Repeat' option to 'Clip'. Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@TheMintieMan]

its you xD you make awesome tutorials as well! :)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Sardi, thanks for the tip!

[@A8C71]

this feels like a family, awesome tips, awesome guys!

[@johnchristopher5201]

As a rule I try to avoid commenting on KZbin videos (or else I can't help but get sucked into the toxicity!) but I really wanted to say thanks for the awesome tutorials. Your videos are excellent, quirky, fun and straight to the point. I've learned an absolute tonne from you. Thanks, and please keep it up!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

John, nothing will stop us. So I'm afraid our madness has to continue :)

[@tommasopellegrini6725]

Probably one of the feature-richest tutorial ever! Almost featuristic! =D Good job gleb!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Back to the feature, that's how we call it. The feature is bright for us, nerds!

[@NnmNnm-hq4oz]

Глеб, хватит пить столько кофе)) У меня от твоей энергетики ноут начинает подзаряжаться)

[@JeraWolfe]

OMG. You CRUSHED that. You're energy is infectious! Excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@seppsowas]

Best Greetings to you and your inner Nerds from germany :) The World is really better with people like you and coffee

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Lets brew the world a better place together! :)

[@edwardhitten2678]

Great tricks man, a big thank you. Your contribution to the community is huge.

[@Gidowan]

I love u Gleb, u are so cool that even 5 years later your tutorials helpe me a lot!

[@miracleshappen4483]

Wow, I'm overwhelmed... so much information at the speed of light. I subscribed, this is a fantastic tutorial but I would really appreciate if you could break it down and slow the pace for those who are learning. Thanks!

[@ashhaf63]

One of the best Videos I have seen. Thanks

[@GlebAlexandrov]

You're too kind!

[@1975wiland]

after 2 years blendering this was a mindbomb. greetings from germany :-) and thx for this good job.

[@pinetreeYT]

I really liked when you used the hate to texture that mountain. The fact that you used a redish colour just accentuated the hate texturing, good job ))

[@kyle4548]

Somehow Gleb throwing a simple diffuse shader onto a mesh still looks a million times better than any insane node setup I've ever created LOL. Great video none the less.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

It's a powerful illusion. Now you see me.

[@redbloodcell4047]

First tip, even though it sounds simple, saves me a tonne of time. Really good tutorial with ideal pacing and character, fantastic work.

[@sakhilenkomo6073]

This is golden advice, and it's free...Why are there so many dislikes?

[@miracleshappen4483]

Sakhile Nikomo, there are quite a few of those terminators of joy who have been attacking the most creative people only because they're jealous. There shouldn't be a dislike button on KZbin. If you want to offer constructive criticism, just write it down in a civil way. I don't know why KZbin keeps this really "hatred-fueling" option. You really don't like something? Don't watch it! End of the story.

[@levprotter1231]

Thanks for this, its cool how all the tutorial makers started talking about textures and materials!

[@jeroexx]

you mate...you are a genious. thanks for this great tutorial once again

[@cheesymighty]

I agree You're a genious Gleb

[@TFHavingFun]

Even though your accent took a little getting used to (English is not my first language), but this tutorial is so fantastic. Learned a lot from a not so long video. Also your inner geek is a genius. Thank him for me pls.

[@eknight2904]

Cool as always. One caveat on the material by vertex selection: If you use subdivision surface modifiers this will distort the borders between the materials. But for all linked mesh parts it is probably one of the easiest methods.

[@HajiDNatrix]

I'm just getting started modeling.... but this is a major boost of encouragement... very informative!!

[@rinuadegbite8571]

Wow! You've really come a long way with this Creative Shrimp project, Gleb. Your videos keep getting better and better!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Oluwarinumi, that's the point of the project. To learn something new every time! I hope that I'm learning too :)

[@CTRL_SMarcos]

You are incredibly generous with your knowledge. Thanks a lot. Sorry for the mistakes.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I'm happy to help.

[@y.ozgurkaya8272]

Hey Gleb, I'm watching lots and lots of blender tutorials nowadays. This is the most efficient one for me; best actually. Amazing work; many thanks.

[@orozcoapaza1660]

I never imagined there were so many methods, Gleb you're amazing, thanks for sharing your knowledge :)

[@ClassyDogFilms]

Wow, so many different ideas for texturing and setting up shaders, Gleb! A few of these I didn't know and can use on my current project, thank you!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Awesome. Glad to be of help!

[@socomajor]

This tutorial is pure gold. I think I'll use that a lot in the future

[@hiknik6740]

Another great, simple but also advanced tutorial that everyone can understand! Good job! Very good job!

[@havocthehobbit]

Thanks you so much Gleb , I have been looking for a tutorial like this for a while as their alot of different techniques taught in confusing ways and this is by far the best in the shortest and most direct way .

[@AgenzasbrothersDe]

Good work Gleb, it really sums up very useful shading tricks. Personally I love and use the procedural stuff a lot. It saves a lot of time.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I wouldn't mind if we had even more advanced control over the procedural noises. Like in After Effects fractal noise. There is a huge untapped potential in this field.

[@AgenzasbrothersDe]

Yeah, absolutely!

[@makkil]

how not to love this dude's explanations ?

[@LeeDanielsART]

Superb tutorial thanks 🙏

[@dido3500]

Screwing the time aside, History has been made uncharacteristically just brilliant!

[@yandryrafaelchoyalvarez8269]

Thanks again for give your amazing time and for sharing your knowledge with on us...the beginners...

[@ryangowen2816]

THE POINTINESS NODE, are you kidding me 3 years in blender and I never knew they was a magic auto-edge-wear button?

[@IvoRosher]

Thank You! You`ve just said everything that I needed to know in that topic.

[@kerynadcock2226]

Thanks for your great tutorial - blending shader skills with coffee is just great way to put our new Breville expresso machine to best use!

[@blenderm4n]

Wow the Quick Edit with Krita is really a nice workflow - thanks for the tutorial! Also the seperate x y z technique is awesome.

[@freedomowologba2900]

Gleb you make this look so easy and fun. Thanks for sharing. Invaluable stuff right there.

[@TFPppt]

Dude, you've really saved my ass with this one. I was having such a hard time with texture painting and material developing in general. Big thanks. BTW: I'm gonna be watching on loop.

[@gs1994100]

i'm blown away. Again. Thanks

[@marcelomolina5005]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial!

[@KatlyHong]

Dude, your tutorials are radical. Thanks for doing what you do, it's insanely helpful.

[@diamondglitter205]

such a beautiful design and such a great tutorial

[@pratikmantri5305]

If only you guys would have taught such awesome texturing in Maya. I have hit the wall in texturing.

[@accelerator5524]

Why not switch to Blender?:)

[@vincentoreilly2704]

This just blew my mind and is strangely motivating

[@Synapticsnap]

You make my inner nerd nerdier so Thanks. I strive to be as good as you one day.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Jim, I have a feeling that nerds may conquer the world one day.

[@NoviceindisguiseOfficial]

I learned sooooo much from this video, can't wait to try it out!!!

[@csarbaloa]

I always come back to this video, I wish I could re-like it

[@asturiasmontoya722]

Thanks for the video. For decal, instead of using Min and Max in Mapping node, you can use the Clip option in place of Repeat in the Image Texture node ;).

[@markroxy1750]

I LEARNED A LOT FROM HERE

[@minhaj_khan]

Extremely useful stuff, Gleb!! Thank you so much for doing this!! :D

[@ajgor64]

VERY useful tutorial. Thanx!!!

[@Prajwal____]

Thank you so much, the model is really good!!

[@GuilhermeMaia100]

Hi Gleb I watched the video of your presentation at Blender Conference 2017 in the subject "The Secret of Making High Quality Art in Blender and Everywhere" and I was blow away. Now I see this and I'm being blow away again! I use Autodesk's 3ds max but I really excited about blender. Things like "Paint in 3D" or "Project a texture" in 3ds max are so weak, slow and bad in that program (The truth is that tools for paint basically doesn't exists). I'm in a studio where a big project would have so benefit so much of paint projection (it would be ridiculously easier, ridiculously faster and the results would come much better). I really think about learning blender. Unfortunatelly my long experience with max makes blender very confusing for me (learning another 3d software is very painful, specialy when the UI is so different), but after seeing you I will make the promisse to learn blender. You got a new subscriber and fan!

[@4theLordJesuschrist]

Clear,concise and fully caffeinated ;D. Keep up the great work!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Don't even doubt that. Fully.

[@FabskeeHearstdale]

This is a great tutorial! Thanks!

[@jaypetz]

I really like the dynamic paint I hope it stays on 2.8 really like it

[@Mets3D]

This was useful and lovably awkward! I didn't know you could do half this stuff with blender's texture painting tools.

[@cearfarseer9725]

Very good tips!

[@BabyChokoRabbit]

Thank you so much gleb!! very useful video.

[@konzeptfrei0101]

Very helpfully. thanks for

[@ThePlatinum50]

Thank you, I learnt so much.

[@misteleventh6546]

I am in shock how you can successfully apply the method of scientific touch and use the complete randomness as your tool, while being a lazy, but aware of it's own moves ass, to create hyper realistic artworks. Так держать!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Well said, mate. Thumbs up!

[@JohnnySkillish]

Great vid! I've been using Blender for about 2 years now and I've come leaps and bounds from day 1 obv. But then I watch a vid like this and realize just how little I really know about any of it. A little depressing really. LOL I'd really like to know just HOW to really get better and improve in a measurable way, if possible. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

[@neilwilson2747]

some new tricks for me!!!thank you

[@Lbmaniak]

Very helpful, thanks
