One technique I like to use with grunge is go into vertex paint mode and use "dirty vertex colors" and then use the "vertex color" node multiplied with a musgrave to seperate the textues. This is pretty much the equivalent of using ambient occlusion to drive grunge, except it works in eevee.

[@KevBinge]

[@sobreaver]

Indeed the journey is quite long, seems easy at first, learning basic stuff, kinda gets to some result, slightly proud we've been able to understand all the technicality and spur something out of that wretched mind, but now, and for the rest of eternity, will always be about improving, and that improving curve can go relatively high quickly but then slows down on the Y and takes way more X to it :! Nevertheless, thanks to many like you, and to unyielding resolve and constant determination, some of us manage to rose from the dirt and shine bright toward the sun like a majestic flowers =] Have a good day !

[@KevBinge]

That’s so true sobreaver! The x is the long tail. The y is he exciting parts. There is way more x. When z comes in it gets really exciting as there are tangents 😀

If Blender can focus on procedural "ease of use" and User Experience (UX) then Houdini better watch out! 😃

[@KevBinge]

Yeah, it’s the nomenclature that drives artists crazy. That said, Houdini is built procedurally, and way, way ahead of Blender. The direction Blender is taking away from the 3DS Max paradigm and toward Houdini is very exciting and I love it. They do have quite a way to go but it’s encouraging regardless.

[@Create-The-Imaginable]

@@KevBinge Houdini is way head with Pixar's Universal Scene Description (USD) too! I believe USD is the future!

It is. Karma runs in LOPS and it can host Hydra delegates pretty well. I don’t love having a separate context for that stuff but it’s not difficult once you dive in.

You should do an updated version. It's severely outdated since pretty much all the nodes you use have different names now and for someone new, it will be almost impossible to recreate your tutorial. Just a friendly advise.

Using geometry nodes for scattering is getting really really old now.

[@KevBinge]

So make a video teaching some amazing new stuff you’ve figured out.

[@AllExistence]

@@KevBinge I can give you an idea, if you can't do it yourself: "How to make a LOD system for model: Create new object with one vertex. Add object nodes, one for each lod level and one for camera. Using vector math, use camera relative position to create a mask from a distance and greater then. Set it up in a chain for each lod level with needed distance. Then separate points by masks in a chain too. Each separated geometry goes into point instance with lod object as input. Join them all. Expose object attributes to be able to use them without modifying graph. Pro-fricking-fit." Tested, so if doesn't work, you messed something up. Can be used for each vertex, if modified a little. Frick, you can even build in billboards for lowest lod level. Analyze normals for smart scattering, use texture sample node for pattern. Create camera culling for optimization. Add simplify-mode for speeding up a viewport. I've done all of this, but ErindaleXYZ even created a nodepack for sale with all of this and more. Even with a small number of nodes we have, we can do heaps of things already. YET ALMOST NO ONE ON KZbin SEEMS TO BE INTERESTED IN THOSE. What, math too hard or something?

[@KevBinge]

I see where you are coming from and won’t take this a a personal attack, being that you don’t know me or have any idea where I’m at in the 3D world. That’s said, I know Erin and he’s amazing. It would behoove you to do some research first before commenting with something that sounds like arrogance. I’ll forgive you that. If I were to do a video on that I’d lose half my audience in one go. Arrogance about math will ensure you go nowhere fast. Modesty and patience will reverse that. Your diatribe, while slightly admirable for your ambition, is lacking in the fundamental understanding of audiences intrinsic to one’s channel. You’re too close to the core. Step back a bit. Most people in this space are coming to this from almost no knowledge of procedural workflow, let alone the intricacies of matrices, transforms, or even math higher than Algebra 1. Knowing who you are talking to is the first step in forging new relationships and proving that you are a person others would want to work with. That’s 90% of everything in his field beyond the bedroom dreamer.
