[@issac7787]

Just what i needed for my hard surface modelling

[@RyanKingArt]

glad it helped!

[@BourkeMedia]

Very nice tutorial! I've been thinking about how I could make this for some time. Now my first thought is to buy the material from you, but I firmly believe that the true value in these excellent tutorials lies in actually working through them. Great teaching! Thank you!

[@diveedee4091]

A very versatile material. Thanks for these tutorials!

[@RyanKingArt]

You're very welcome!

[@fotofx9589]

Nice job. I work with tons of barbells and dumbbells so this is such a timesaver for me. Been adding in the knurling via modelling.

[@RyanKingArt]

cool!

Looks good did you use a checker texture I will see it after dinner saving it to my playlist which I named Ryan king art tutorials. Thnx for tutorials special thanx for all procedural tutorials

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks. I used a brick texture for the base.

[@CGSTUDENT15]

@@RyanKingArt hmm 🧐 kind of new shader for me I mean I never use it before😅

[@enviritas9498]

Great tutorial Ryan. Any ideas on how to make the metal plate/hard plastic with the diamonds alternating directions? Like the kind you might see in the back of some pickup trucks.

[@RyanKingArt]

ahh yeah I know what your talking about. I hope to make a tutorial on that sometime

[@alirezara7108]

broooo you really look like Anakin Skywalker 😬 thanks a lot for your great tutorial ❤

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh really? never thought i looked like him 😄

[@alkanhel]

Very helpfull!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@heathrosario1478]

Hey man I love your tutorials theyve helped me improve my materials 100x over. Would it be possible to create a procedural lightspeed effect like the one in star wars?

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah that could be done with Blender, I'm sure. 👍‍

[@heathrosario1478]

​@@RyanKingArtI made it and it looks so good

[@slash.m.b]

thanks

[@GrimmRoger]

Everything is fine on EEVEE, but on Cycles my Suzanne is looking just like rough metal texture. What`s the problem?

[@RyanKingArt]

I think its because you need to fix the UV mapping.

[@RyanKingArt]

or you might need to scale the UV mapping smaller

[@conorrennard8628]

You don't need to get rid of the seam my weights have a seam anyway.

[@speltospel]

6:43 what you tap? what is MODE?

[@salvadormarley]

If you look in the top left area of the workspace, you will see Object mode. this can be changed to edit mode so that the shapes can be edited - he can then select vertices and edges and add seams.

[@speltospel]

@@salvadormarley I already figured out that it was ctrl+spacebar

[@speltospel]

how to save in lib?

[@conorrennard8628]

Look up a tutorial of how to use asset browser

[@speltospel]

@@conorrennard8628 thx. found this

[@chrisjansen1943]

My man, you look like you need some sunlight and sleep. It's not an insult, just looking out for ya.

[@Slickstaff_Stainpants]

you mean Knurling ? your way is so much better than unsubdiving to get 45degree squares and then poking all the faces.

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh yeah I guess its called Knurling. I didn't know it had an official name.
