How to Make Procedural Nature in Blender Part 1 - Iridesium

It is amazing how useful a procedural shader can be! especially when you have a mesh too high res to uv unwrap.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a procedural dirt shader in cycles. No unwrapping needed!

I just drank 38 pots of coffee and I could totally keep up

Don't follow the audio, as the author does not mention a lot of things he does. Just follow visually. On slow motion at half speed. Also on 7:00 .. he starts to use "Ctrl+Shift+Click" very actively, make sure you have Node Wrangler add-on added in your blender, for this to work. This is a advanced tutorial, and beginners can get stuck at parts. Just follow visually, and you would get close to what the author has produced here. I thank the author for his efforts, but I suggest he sync 'what he is saying' to 'what he is doing', so it is easier for others to follow.

[@magni319]

I don't think this is a tutorial for beginners who need to follow a video click-by-click... It's rather for intermediate users who already know the interface and workflow and just need a guidance for this specific subject.

[@mrfeathers3938]

Ok when I CTRL SHIFT CLICK it just plugs them all into a damn "viewer" node... his plug into each other... i dont get it

[@KevinRMoore]

Wow I never would have thought to turn on slow-mo, a good way to combat the new trend of fast-talking Toots

[@SomeAB]

Also, just pause on where he selects the colors on color ramp, the exact shades are important to get right. Just notice the RGB values and enter them manually on your side, so as your colors are perfectly identical. Believe me, I had to do this tutorial twice, because of the colors didn't match, and my final look was off by quite a bit. Also, the sun placement can't be identical, so you have to adjust it as soon as you add it (when author does, but doesn't adjust), so that you get some nice shadows. Don't worry about all the extra noise at that stage, because when you add the dirt texture finally towards the middle of this video, the extra noise will get adjusted. Also, at 14:55 , notice how he has inverted the bump node, don't forget that.

[@ThatWarioGiant]

fantastic video!

[@abuzzedwhaler7949]

I swear, the intro is a little different every time. Great video btw :)

[@UncleBurrito15]

This really cooked up my processor

[@SomeAB]

Here, I remade the dirt material .. every color and every value as 100% matching as shown in the video above. Took me 3 hours, save your time. And you are welcome. drive.google.com/open?id=1W9IPjk1iV5o1Jyy7tTC_AiONFKpCn6PI This is my blend file at the end of this part 1, the lighting is not perfect, but the dirt shader is exactly the same, you can check.

[@pianoscapes09]

I followed everything twice, step by step and used the exact same numbers and everything but i keep getting different results.

[@Awertnex]

That's just gorgeous, but I would've preferred if it was non-destructive (in terms of geometry)!

[@flyingjudgement]

Thank you. it just saved me hundreds of hours of hand painting things. I hope you will make more videos in the future they are extremely helpful. Is it possible to paint with these "materials" shader setups?

[@YASIR.K]

I have a problem, my PC does not handle the process. ADM Ryzen Threadripper 2950x 16 core. 64 G of Ram. Gforce GTX 1060 6GB. Windows 10 Pro. so I wonder how you can did it !!!! is there anything wrong? in my PC

[@djw457]

Yikes. I got some learning ahead of me.

[@mrfeathers3938]

Is there a way to do this as a higher res mesh you showed at the end without restarting the entire thing?? Please!

[@Cyber_Kriss]

At 3:55... I am not even remotely having that result... WTF ????

[@-Free.Spirit-]

I am only a beginner, where do I get textures from to use? I click new and dont have any in the list

[@ProjectsinPoo]

"sin" is pronounced like "sign" jsyk.

[@ich3aa]

i dont comment verry often but this tutorial is what im looking for, good work

[@walidgharbi8834]

Just one question, are you keeping the shading flat on purpose or did you forget to apply the shading smootn?

[@pauldeddens5349]

It looks like he did it so he can get an idea how stretched the topology was getting.

[@Kiwi2375]

Yeah this is very fast paced...I wish you would explain more what all those nodes did. No one would know how to use them really except to just copy which ones you used. Why am I using them to begin with...all the options and menus on mine are not set up like your it seems.

[@lakvfx]

awesome, keep it up 👍👍

[@cheir1000]

wow it works in 3.5.0

[@littlewakau]

where can you find iridesium in blender i am new and i couldn't seem access it

[@jonathansgarden9128]

I was wondering why this video never popped up before until i saw the date. Thank you for doing this work! I still feel like a noob every time i start a new project and things like this help to remind me that by practicing properly, i can get better

[@carlosdiniz6999]

The result could be very good, but the tutorial was done very fast and the visibility does not help. It is impossible to follow the tutorial.

[@siyo3554]

How did you put the mini-viewer on the right?

[@nathanqiu5929]

Great work, Thanks! But the video really sucks.

[@EpidemicExpansion]

The "pointiness" node at 12:00 will not work yet in Eevee, as I was trying to adapt it using realtime rendering, it seemed important to precise it if any of you try :)

[@miracleshappen4483]

Actually when you first said that the rendered image didn't look good, I thought it looked pretty realistic to me.

[@florianalliger8077]

Thank you, just was about to do it myself then saw your tutorial, you really saved me some time!

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

So I've started this in 2.79b, and displacement is now a vector - how would I get the noise texture to work correctly with this new vector displacement?

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

EDIT - use the Vector -> Displacement node and plug the colorRamp output into the 'Height'

[@chuctanundaspiderbone5407]

This is wonderful. So many things to study in one video. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

You didn’t mention you have the Node Wrangler addon enabled.

[@heveycreations4197]

Just discovered your channel, you make awesome tutorials !

[@orgax]

What you do at 1:55? When I do it in last 2.8 nothing change

[@vasyapupkin9338]

Literally pure magic

[@Graptopetalum]

I got to the part where you multiplied the two colorRamps together. My Multiply node does have a factor to set. Also my texture just turned to gray, looks great for something like basalt (sorry if I'm showing my ignorance of geology), but why isn't it brown? How do I make it brown?

[@Graptopetalum]

Sorry I was using Math Multiply instead of MixRBG. It would help if you went a bit slower.

[@hearthtofrank8202]

wonderful tutorial :) recognized your cloud giant.

[@sergeyandreev2599]

Very useful tutorial :) Huge work!

[@AK-IT]

Your style of Blender tutorial has evolved passed the tutorials that I use to watch from a few years ago. Very informative, smooth, well done.

[@sudd3660]

wow that intro bass.

[@badruddieng2719]

Bro can u teach how to animate and rig the characters plzz

[@yishahai1798]

Awesome one, waiting for part 2.

[@jonathanc7980]

Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@Forever3pic]

I am really looking forward to part 2
