[@LFSPharaoh]

Love these material videos. 95% of my blendering so far has been just modeling so I'm clueless on adding color/image/texture/LIFE to my objects so I'll be watching tons of your videos like this. Question though, is there a good way to save these procedural materials or is it normal to just make a cube or something with that material on it, and just save the blender file? I've been searching all over almost zero luck. Once, I saw someone mention the materials library plugin, that could work I suppose but ehh seems kinda buried and easily forgotten about doing it that way (almost seems as out-of-the-way as saving a 'dummy' blender file with the proc mat in it).

[@RyanKingArt]

Check out my video on how to use Blender's asset browser. That's the best way to re-use procedural materials in your blender files.

[@LFSPharaoh]

@@RyanKingArt Sweet thanks!

[@bogdan.801]

thank you so much you are lifesaver

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it helped!

[@cantthinkofaname925]

Is it possible to model for example leaves and twigs and have it render out as a mask and use it in for procedural nodes? And if possible be able to edit the mask within the nodes like maybe adding a gradient or tiling it, so on? Nice upload! looking forward to more! :)

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes, you could do that, although then technically it wouldn't be considered a Procedural texture, because your adding other elements other then just Blenders nodes.

[@hman2912]

Awesome. Thanks man

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching!

[@rubendrakkar]

I think this needs subsurface scattering for that "milky" effect. . .

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm yeah, you could add some SSS with the principled Shader.

[@DamienPlouhinec]

So great!

[@RyanKingArt]

Your welcome!

[@retrobudapest]

I absolutely do not understand why you connect the same noise texture before the mapping node. Could you explain the math of what happens on the vector inputs?

[@Rawer.we.]

Thanks

Thanks!

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you for watching!

[@freshlense]

Great video! Thanks for walking me through this. When I tried out the 'marble dark' texture my computer suddenly started rendering very slowly. It had no problem with the first effect. What is it about the 'dark marble' that is harder to render?

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Well, the Dark Swirl marble is the most complex, and it has the most procedural nodes, so I think that's why its slower.

[@freshlense]

@@RyanKingArt Thanks for the speedy reply! I’ll use the other textures until I can upgrade my pc :)

[@КонстантинЗапоев]

Классно! Большое спасибо, всё понятно даже без перевода.

[@RyanKingArt]

Cool! Thank you for watching.

[@dsodragus4616]

nice, can you do some low poly game characters? i am creating some, but have problems what kind of cape to make, 1 sided or use solidify, wouldn't 1 sided have red normals faces on 1 side and be invisible in game engine?

[@RyanKingArt]

I will consider it, although I'm not super good at creating characters. Thanks!

[@Cyber_Kriss]

Depends... Is it a cape for Batman or Superman ?

[@da_roachdogjr]

Love your channel, don't stop what you're doing man. Also, two things: Why plug the noise texture into the mapping and then to another noise, instead of noise>noise? And, my viewport lags a lot after adding the bump node. (dark marble) Could be a Blender 3.0 bug, anybody else experiencing the same?

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks! I have no idea what I used the mapping. It doesn't change anything. You can just delete the mapping nodes. I made this tutorial almost a year ago, and since then, I have gotten a lot better at making Procedural Materials. Lol. You said your viewport lags? Are you using Blender Eevee? I find that Eevee lags a bit when using Procedural materials. So I prefer to use Cycles.

[@SquirreltailAnimation]

A year late and a dollar short I know, but I love the white marble on this one. The Black ones legit takes my computer out back and guns it down. Seriously, the bump on that sucker drops my fps from 120+ to MAYBE 10 (if I'm lucky). Is this just the nature of the material or am I setting up something wrong with it.

[@RyanKingArt]

hmm that's weird. Are you using Eevee? I find that procedural materials work better in cycles.

[@SquirreltailAnimation]

@@RyanKingArt I am using Eevee. It's the only material that I've used of ours that is like that though so I'm not sure. Maybe that's it?

[@wco3095]

How can I export this to unreal engine? Apparently there is a problem with not plugging the textures directly into the principled bdsf

[@hameddesign70]

rare ? gold ? valuable ? what should i call your channel ?

[@RyanKingArt]

Haha, thank you 😀

[@VavaboyGamer]

Your tutorial helped me a lot... I just have one question: How do I add the .exr file to my blender?

[@RyanKingArt]

Are you referring to the HDRI? Go to the world properties, and add a new world, if there isn't already a world. Then, next to the word, color, click on the yellow dot. Then change it to, environment texture. Then click on open, and locate and select the HDRI, or exr.

[@VavaboyGamer]

@@RyanKingArt Yes. That's it. I'm still learning and I didn't know how to change that. Thanks for your help.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@VavaboyGamer Thanks for watching!

[@DPS_GMs]

Hey, I tried to use the last tutorial, but the material has no sheen when I lower the roughness. Do you know what may be causing it? I’m on a laptop so it may be a lack of my hardware.

[@naointeressa2251]

thank you for posting hahaha

[@RyanKingArt]

[@intheory0]

Great tutorial man! I managed to reproduce it and it looks pretty nice. I was trying to create this material also for an obj I exported from zbrush but it's not working, can you help me figure out why?

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! Procedural materials don't work in other software. They only work in Blender. So if you want to use this material in other programs, you will need to bake it to texture maps.

[@intheory0]

@@RyanKingArt thanks for your time. I probably didn't make it clear, sorry. I exported the obj from zbrush and imported it in Blender. Once in blender I applied the same material on an object I created in Blender (and it worked) and on the said obj, but it didn't work, apparently, so my obj is still white.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@intheory0 Hmm, very weird. it should work on any object in Blender.

[@eclairesrhapsodos5496]

Can you do LuxCore marble tutorial please!

[@RyanKingArt]

I will consider it. Thanks! (For some reason KZbin is randomly removing some of my comments. I already replied to this comment, but It removed it. Sorry if I'm replying again.)

[@eclairesrhapsodos5496]

@@RyanKingArt I see it, pretty weird that youtube does that. I have basic material of marble in LuxCore, but I don't know how to improve it, I can send blend file if you want. My node system is mess but anyway.

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, I could take a look at it, although I'm not very experienced with LuxCore.

[@BldyMn-ki6lk]

Awesome video for beginners! Although, when I click to see the principle at 5:10 the object becomes pink! Plz help. Every move creates a problem lol

on 13:14 I was not able to find a "mixRGB" option using blender 4.0 maybe an update? what can I use intead? thank u

[@RyanKingArt]

In the new Blender update of 3.4, they changed the Mix RGB node, to just the Mix Node. So just add the mix node, and change the Float option, to Color. Then you can use it just like the mix RGB node.

[@rossperu7871]

half of the commands you say like control and shift to create viewer, as well as ctrl T just dont do anything for me plz help it was because of node wrangler thanks.

Yeah. You need to add the node wrangler Addon for that to work.
