[@RyanKingArt]

yes!

[@reeseperk2270]

Thanks!

[@reeseperk2270]

Thanks for making my learning experience journey with blender a little easier

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you so much for your support!

[@pointless_knowledge]

This tutorial is great: straight to the point, no bullshit, and tells you everything to know about making all sorts of transparency-related materials. Thanks a lot!

[@devindersharma1054]

Ryan, The Blender King!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks 🙂

[@Sen_Main]

i remember watching the original glass shader video for EVEE. :D. Blender has def came a long way. Cant wait for the new one :D

[@RyanKingArt]

coming soon!

[@ador989]

the best blender content maker in tha world!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@Domzdream]

Nicely done with glass treatment by the way. As always, I'm a big fan of your work.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@nanomantube]

Thanks for sorting this out. I was getting really confused about how to make it work, I had gotten so used to the old method

[@schroedingersdog7965]

Many thanks, Ryan! Definitely looking forward to your Eevee Glass Tutorial.

[@RyanKingArt]

Coming soon!

Thank you for your videos✨ You make many complicated things understandable✨

[@RyanKingArt]

glad my videos can help

[@abdullahihymy28]

My super thanks for you Ryan King Art for solving this problem that I've struggled with

[@RyanKingArt]

welcome!

[@nourhanvideoeditor]

Thaaaank you

[@RyanKingArt]

you're welcome!

[@os6078]

great video ryan!!

[@YounesSS-p8v]

this new eevee freezes my blender for a minute every time i tweak some settings

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah it does that for me too. kinda annoying. Eevee is cool, but I still like Cycles better for most things.

[@FarhanAli-008]

They will improve it with time like always. Don't worry

[@s.patterson5698]

Same here

[@MercuryRisingFast]

I'll stick with the previous version then. Thanks!

[@theGoogol]

​@@MercuryRisingFast: it's a setting ... I read it somewhere but forgot which setting. Google the problem, there seems to be a solution. For me, though .. too many things changed again so I'll be sticking with 4.1 for other reasons (main reason is that I don't feel like re-installing all the addons I had). I also like Eevee bloom without having to composite.

[@carlbob0002]

Man, thank you so much fo this!

[@RyanKingArt]

welcome!

[@lonlonluc]

thank you sosososo much!! :D

[@RyanKingArt]

welcome

[@delicialeggett6534]

Soooo much easier. Can’t wait until your new glass shader video.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes! I will soon be posting a new Eevee Glass shader tutorial!

[@lobocloud]

you are the man!!!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks

[@animationmart3838]

Ever since the new update, the options for turning on ambient occlusion, bloom, and screen space reflections have disappeared, can you help me solve it?

[@markanderson3967]

Love your videos. Any idea how to get black and white opacity masks to work with 4.2.2? Other places say add a math node set to greater than but that just makes the whole mesh disappear.

[@mohamadhayatleh4488]

amazing

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@lyaralee9299]

Is it possible to achieve mirror reflection effect in Eevee renderer?

[@metalmoltres]

Is there a way to cast shadows onto the top surface of the glass?

[@ItsNotANormalBacon]

this is the dream update

[@Smash_ter]

You think you could make a hologram shader with the new methods?

[@DaveTheRave-sd9yc]

Thanks

[@RyanKingArt]

welcome!

[@MarkandSandieInMotion]

Great vid. Can you tell us how to render an object on a transparent background. It seems like the codec from the current version is gone. When I bring rendered vid into Premiere it says invalid codec.

[@Tyossi]

good job!!!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks!!

[@kotofun1.2.3]

thank:)

[@RyanKingArt]

You're welcome!

[@cc.creationz]

What is that new thickness node?

[@TheAcidPrank]

it seams already outdated ^^ from doc "Screen Space Refraction and Light probe planes are no longer supported in materials using Blended render method (former Alpha Blend). The only workaround for now is to use Dithered render method and enable Render Settings > Raytracing. There are discussions adding new refraction option for these materials"

[@RinzaruStrate]

How did you make the camera not go grainy everytime you moved around the scene? I hate that about cycles and now eevee does it too.

[@Lemonraine26]

My amature guess is that the new raytracing is pretty taxing on the computer, so when ur moving the computer can’t calculate everything fast enough, hence the grain. Honestly, ig its just something we gotta live with i guess lol

[@VisioticProduction]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I was waiting for your Video ❤❤

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah I'm trying to put out a lot of Blender 4.2 update videos. 😄 👍‍

[@canislupusfool]

Is it possible to render a volume shader with a transparent background in eevee?

[@Foxguyanimation]

Blender Studio makes world better each time

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes 👍‍

[@MartKart8]

I'm checking out 4.2 and the extra objects have been removed, I was seeing if I could do a tea pot and that's how I found out. Bool Tools is also missing and Tissue add-on as well.

[@RyanKingArt]

Extra objects addon are still in Blender. You just have to re-enable them.

[@imiy]

will it catch shadows with alpha 0?

[@com.zootub.HuyAC.1]

New eevee is great, but now i'll keep using cycles because most of your material tutorial are in cycles render !

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah I still really like Cycles.

[@rillaaa5740]

when i turn of dither i get a bunch of strange lines this version has been really buggy

[@KillAllCommies2]

They changed it again in 4.2.1, unbelievable

[@bellousow2607]

Fantastique

[@meagan5751]

Can I do this with an emissive object? I cannot get it to work at all for me.

[@oblongalbum1276]

Do you know if it is possible to make it where an object is transparent but you can't see other parts of the same object behind one another? So like in the thumbnail you can see through the Suzanne head but you can't see the top of the head behind the top eyelid? Thanks very much Ryan.

[@DYFortescue]

backface culling on the head maybe?

[@zer03d14]

Hey sorry if I missed it, but is there any reason why in 4.2 it won't let me set the Blend mode off Alpha Hashed when trying to set it to opaque.

[@malissimo43]

transparent fabric for procedural curtains. Please ?? Gracias por tu trabajo.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the idea

[@godwinyo5206]

how do you do transparent liquid inside glass in eevee next?

[@VMP666]

Any idea if the Eevee Next fixes the blank spaces in refracted surfaces behind objects occluding the camera? So far from what Ive tried it’s the same as in classic Eevee.

[@Arcyriea]

TranslucentBSDF effects is also gone too, maybe get changed as well

[@Domzdream]

Hi Ryan. I just today installed the Blender 4.2...(my last version being 4.0) I'm busy making glass textures in the material editor. So basically I made the easy usual glass texture, which I then created a 'new' material. I copied over the same glass material onto the newly made material, pasted it. It just crashes. Now I have an awesome computer. So this shouldnt be happening. So I looked it up, and some people sugegsted I switch back to the older version of Blender. It actually doesnt crash at all. I wonder if this is a bug that they need to fix from their side. Are you experiencing the same problem? Thanks for a repsonse 😉

[@jeanclaudedowningg]

Hey Ryan I hope youre well! dude ive got a transparent video that when I import into blender 4.2 has a black background. Ive double checked the use alpha is on, I've double checked that the video is actually transparent and I really cant figure out why the video isn't being exported with a transparent background. Ive watched a bunch of tutorials now and all their videos when imported automatically have a transparent background so I'm really confused. Please can you help me if you maybe have a solution or if anyone in the comments can help please.

[@alextorhan]

I can't see shadows from objects even when there are light sources. What can be wrong?

[@goodgremlinmedia2757]

Why is it that when I do all of this my glass is still opaque

[@alexandrikq]

How to create smoke in a blender 4.2 please tutorial

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the idea

[@IreneYang-b2t]

I don't have alpha blend anywhere in my settings (4.2)

[@ProVatan2]

44; Отличное обновление, мне понравилось. Очень круто теперь рендерит иви🎉 ура!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching

[@Ganymede2076]

dude what about earth cloud map where black = transparent

[@susufrernlp93]

Yeah, even with your settings, it's still not looking good enough (too grainy + refraction not accurate, mostly). I tried on my side too, couldn't get something satisfying. I don't understand those changes. Gonna stay in 4.1 for now.

[@airtrack2010]

Same, I wish they include the legacy Eevee in future versions, the old Eevee shading is still good in so many ways than the new one.

[@IGarrettI]

for some reason it doesnt work for me

[@nightartist778]

Got the same version but still different... I can't find it -.- (Blend Mode-Alpha)

[@RyanKingArt]

are you using eevee?

[@nightartist778]

@@RyanKingArt Everything fine, I found it. They got a separate category where I found it. But still thx for your answer :)

w vid

[@bigorstojanov184]

there is no raytraced transmission checkbox on mac

[@RyanKingArt]

check that you are using the latest blender version and check that you are in the eevee render engine.

[@dzulrashdi6689]

👍

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks

[@lightst33l]

İts overly complicated and unnecessary... I hate New Blender 4.2

[@Tertion]

Yeah... so glass still looks like crap in EEVEE.... one day maybe...

[@unaddan]

500 sample on eevee? no thanks. just use cycles. what is this madness. eevee is not eevee anymore

[@RyanKingArt]

you don't have to turn it up that high. I went a little overkill on samples.

[@unaddan]

@@RyanKingArt yeah I know. it's just eevee doesnt feel like eevee anymore. I need really high sample for eevee now tho the image is still grainy. the high sample is not worth the render time. I hope eevee is getting stable and can reduce the render time. and also can u make a tutorial about denoise in eevee 4.2. I feel like it's always grainy, but in viewport it's slightly better.

[@edipedipbulmaz]

fake

[@septuleptum]

Gosh, EEVEE is just a no-no for anything glass related
