Thank you so much for this helpful video...❤❤❤ You are really King of the Art 🎨

[@lolabellesims_TSM_TS3_TS4]

How on earth did you manage to learn all this, Ryan?! I'm trying to follow along and there's, like, 400 nodes all doing something special and it is completely muddled in my head at this point. Seems like I'll never obtain an instinctual knowledge of this stuff. Your videos are so helpful and do you know why? Because you say WHY you're doing something instead of just telling people what to do. If you don't know the whys of anything how can you obtain any sort of mastery over a subject? How can you troubleshoot? How can you have an instinct of what your goals are and how to meet those goals? I'm so glad you're here on KZbin. 🥰

[@tsm688]

think in a more result based way. just transforming data from one kind to another. you don't have to memorize what they all are, as much as look for what you want to do

[@TheKailan]

Whenever I need to make a new material in blender, I know, Ryan has already made a video about it.

Ryan is a must-subscribe on the Blender journey

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@megabex0996]

Amazing tutorial! Quick update: In the new version of Blender (4.0) the principled BSDF changed, so in order of changing the color, we need to connect the color ramp in the tint color! (or set the weight of sheen to 0)

[@andreagosto]

Many thanks!

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you so much for your support!

[@pro246]

Technically we should not be touching the Specular setting at all as it changes the way the light spreads across the object/material... What you want to do is to set the roughness accordingly and use the normal maps to fine tune it so you get a more realistic shading.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes, your totally right. Back when I made this I couldn't get the material as dark as I wanted, so I turned down the Specular to make it darker. but after posting the video I realized that was not the best thing to do. lol 🙂

[@otofcontroll]

Very nice! I like the addition of the distorted noise for fuzziness. One suggestion I'd have is to flip the stops of the color ramp that's just before the roughness input. Dents and grooves tend to be on the rougher side, as they trap light more, not unlike ambient occlusion.

[@RyanKingArt]

Ahh yes your right. Thanks for the tip! 👍‍

hey, bro. I think that you don't notice, but, in this moment 14:15 , you had to invert the color ramp values. Is just that, good work

Thanks, awesome tutorial. One question, if I would like to use an image as a shader but also keep the fabric texture, what nodes should I use? I tried with mix material but only shows a part of the image, thanks in advance for your time.

[@artemaung5274]

I think empty spaces need to be more rough and threads - less rough. So roughness map has to be reversed. It's subtle, but it'll look more realistic, chances are - it will please the eye more. Also for color of threads I think underlying color has to depend on main color, but fraction of it, not just plain black. For example if fabric is white, like 255,255,255, empty spaces would need to be like a fraction of that maybe 25,25,25, but not fully black. For your dark blue material with bright blender light setup this isn't visible as much, but if fabric is made out of bright colors it'll be an important factor.

[@Carnifex20]

That was awesome! I'm amazed for how many things you can use the wave texture.

[@foncon9642]

Thanks for the excellent tutorials. I was wondering what approach to take when applying these materials to characters without tanking performance in my scene. Using low poly characters and applying the fabric material to their uv unwraps makes evee chug along to the point where I can barely pose my characters. Any knobs I can turn? Thanks!

[@broljung]

ryan, How long time did it take for you to understand the program so good? I mean, first off I got to learn the basics. BUT when the nodes and stuff comes into play it gets too much :) especially if ur new. I use a Mac it's slightly different I suppose too.

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, not sure, it might take longer for some, or other people might catch on to it quicker. But just to put things into perspective for you, I have been using Blender Constantly for 7 years now, so I've had tons of practice, and I'm still learning new things all the time. 🙂

[@broljung]

@@RyanKingArt i see. With practise comes knowledge. Yeah i Will stick with this for 2 years now, maybe i Will come out brighter then befors :) ty for awesome videos Ryan, really helipful. My viewport shading was the issue, i tried doing your mushroom but after i shade smooth, i can still see some of the edges slightly but i did not ser it on your mushroom.

Hi great tutorial! Does the order of the bump nodes make any difference?

[@RyanKingArt]

yes, I think the order of the bumps can change the look of the material.

[@ruslandad365]

Great Tutorial Thanks!!!

[@RyanKingArt]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@michaeljburt]

This is wild, will be using this immediately. For Sheen/Sheen Tint how would you bake that for a game engine? Otherwise it looks like just the Diffuse, roughness and normal channels are used, which are standard in PBR shaders

[@nikitadmitrovich6235]

Really awesome tutorial, but when I extrude faces the texture on additional faces goes all finnicky, stretched. Any idea why is that?

you need to re-UV unwrap the object after editing it.

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate your video, but what are you using to render your Viewport in such good quality?

[@nfbaminecraft1202]

cycle

[@LewdicideMouse]

I have a question! Suppose I paint a texture in texture paint mode, and want to apply the procedural everything to this texture... Surely you can't just drop the image texture where the Color Ramp would be for the color, right? That wouldn't work because of the color added by the Wave Textures, right?

[@markcherry2981]

Hi Ryan, when I click the cloth modifier on the plane it flips from above the sphere to below it, is there a step that I have missed?

[@mankayso3713]

Hi, nice video, Can we use an image as a pattern instead of making in solid color?

[@artecno882]

first noise texture didnt notice where is connected beside height??

[@TheChosenJuanLopez]

Hey absolutely awesome video man, I'm wondering one thing though. How would I go about making the material partially translucent AND also let light properly shine through? More specifically the black spots inbetween the fabric, I'm trying to make a curtain material that still lets a bit of light through. Thank you in advance 🙏 straight to the point and simple tutorial :)

Hey @ryankingart, how can I stick a logo on/in there so that it picks up the text of the weaves?

why you are scaling in edit mode and not object? 4:00

the origin stays in edit mode and in object the origin mowe with the object thats is useful for mirror modifier

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks : )

[@PixelForgeLab]

Thanks man, nice material... question: after I add a second bump, I can't move the object in the viewport anymore, it happens with any procedural material I make, as soon as I add 2 or 3 bump nodes, it's all slow like hell, in material preview... rendering is fine.

[@RyanKingArt]

are you in eevee? I find that eevee doesn't work well with lots of bump detail. I find cycles to work better for procedural materials.

[@PixelForgeLab]

@@RyanKingArt no eevee nope, all in cycles, but the issue is in the material preview when I move the viewport around... if I add 2 bump nodes, it get so heave and slow...

[@RyanKingArt]

@@PixelForgeLab hmm, sorry its acting slow. maybe try turning down the detail amount on the noise textures.

[@PixelForgeLab]

@@RyanKingArt Yeah I think it might be my graphics card, it's from 2017... and definitely with detail amount down works better... what graphics card do you use ? thank you btw.

Can you by chance make a procedural material for jeans? Or a procedural material for pinstripes (like a pinstriped suit)?

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the idea

[@joerminer]

If I wanted a stripes color pattern but same material look, so say for like red/white candy cane striped socks, I assume I would need to add another wave texture in, to control where the red goes and where the white goes…how would I best mix a third wave texture in to control that? Thanks!

Hello, awesome tutorial btw. Would it be possible to bake this procedural material and then export the object with this material?

[@JakubLindauer]

Hello. Trying to do in Blender 4 and not sure how to set the Sheen, this setings have changed quite significantly. Would be possible to write there? Thank you.

[@RyanKingArt]

open up the sheen tab, and turn the weight to maybe a .2

[@No1Idle]

Hi, how do you adjust the sheen part in 4.1? I tried putting sheen weight and roughness to 1 (assuming they are the old sheen and sheen tint) and i put the Tint to the base color. Is that right? It seems good but i'm not expert

Can you make a tutorial for a shader type of toy's collective shader? similar to "neka" o "darkside" collectibles? I never see that in blender, in Keyshot is very common

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the tutorial idea 👍‍

[@AstralNostalgia]

@@RyanKingArt try to check "collectible toys" render's artist, they use Keyshot, I think blender can reach that amazing huge level, is not about realismt, is about good shader ... so if you check that kind of rusty toy or toy's cloth for that purpose you wlll be my heroe ... I think in blender we need some kind of other types of shader like toys, medicine , machine , moss , nuclear conditions, some kind of that industries type of shader visualization, not only videogames or cinematic.

[@mattwow343]

great tutorial , but for some weird reason i can export the 3d object but cant export it with the texture , does anyone know the reason and how to fix ?
