This is good for everything from various landscapes from a long-distance point of view to creating planets. The possibilities boggle the mind!

[@RyanKingArt]

glad you like it. Thanks for the *Super Thanks!*

[@ProfessorOfK3ology]

I just needed this a couple of days ago, excellent timing as always Ryan

[@RyanKingArt]

hope it helps!

[@jenkisg]

Hey Ryan, I completely enjoyed this tutorial. What is really amazing is to see three almost completely different ways to source the textures to make wood. Thank you for taking the time out for this!

[@RyanKingArt]

you're welcome!

[@romain4520]

Thank you so much for these tutorials that are always fascinating to follow and which always make me progress! for a stunning result. Thank you so much.

procedural moss lets gooooooooooo, you figured it out, thanks Ryan!!! :)

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes I finally made a procedural moss! Hope you like it!

[@lisapreston4692]

Another amazing tutorial Ryan thank you! Sooo happy to see your subscriber base increasing so much! I started following you 4 years ago I started my degree in animation and visual effects and struggled to understand concepts around shaders and materials(along with alot of things!), and had teachers who felt procedural was a waste of time. 4 years later and procedural is the way everything is going! So happy that I stuck with it I love procedural design so much, and its honestly so much down to your tutorials that helped me understand where my physical teachers were not interested. This year I am progressing to houdini but will always keep blender in my arsenal and am now tutoring other students on using blender. I link your channel and your best tutorials for them to learn from, and Ive not had a single complaint! Thank you sir for your dedication to sharing your knowledge and helping students(whether self taught or otherwise!), I hope your aware how pivitol your work has been in influencing the next generation of artists.

Incredible. One again, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

[@RyanKingArt]

you are welcome!

[@joerminer]

Love seeing new procedural material videos from you. You make some of the best. Also, just a note, I saw Corridor Crew used a clip of one of your videos when they were explaining displacement in their most recent video today, 3/4/23.

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh very cool! I tried looking up, but can't find what video it is. Can you send me the link?

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh wait, I found it. Thanks!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/roGbZ3mNhb6Gn6M

You are a real artist👍🌷

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you! : )

[@rixmascarenhas]

Very nice tutorial, congrats. I wrestle with this a couple of hours until I realize that rerouting the ColorRamp to the Factor of the mix shader on the gradient moss part wasn't working for me when making the Node group, it was returning a Colour value for the node group not the Factor, instead of rerouting I just plugged the result of the Hue/Sat value to the factor of the mix shader and also to the height of the displacement. This allowed me to make the node group without any problem. IDK if I missed something or if it is a Blender version difference. Anyway it worked, just sharing if anyone else gets stuck on this like I was. Again super nice tutorial and channel, leaning heaps here \m/ !

[@TheWugiezet]

I love procedural materials :)do you think there is any way to mesh an object with a material on it to apply the surface deformation that the material seems to cause?

This is awesome Ryan. Do you have a procedural rock material that is for landscaping colorful rock? I know you've done other stone/rock tutorials but I have yet to find one that does "pretty" rock well. Appreciate any help and your channel!

[@issac7787]

Gonna try this

[@RyanKingArt]

cool!

[@issac7787]

@@RyanKingArt I'm using blender 3.6, with displacement and bump node on, for some reason my moses just aren't able to have the height bump as good as you have shown here 😂

[@PiononoMatic]

sos un geni0o0oo

[@This_is_my_spout]

I'm very new to Blender and really appreciated your pace and explanations! I learned so much about nodes from this. I only got confused at the end at 46:26, when you added the reroute to switch between Moss Factor (noise) and Moss Factor (gradient). What is the purpose of this? Do I have to choose between which one to use? If I make changes in one and then change the reroute to the other, the changes I made disappear from the moss.

[@StuartTrejos]

i purchased the material and it's very nice! Although, I'm having trouble using the material underneath in the Diffuse BDSF node because when I change it to a light value, a lot of the green dissapears. The green only shows up on really dark grays and black.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for purchasing! To fix that, you can turn up the "Moss Amount" value, to make the moss more visible. You can also select the moss factor node, and hit "Tab" to go into the node group. You can then drag the color ramp values around to make the moss even more visible.

[@StuartTrejos]

@@RyanKingArt Thank you for the quick response! Your solutions gave me much better results!

[@amvbyme7096]

Hello ! Amazing tutorial as always ! Im working on blender 4.0 and at 29:16 I dont have the input and output settings ! Can anyone help me ?

[@Ζ.Χ]

Do you know the reason why in my Blender in material>settings>surface i do not have the displacement option available? This way i lose all the bump effect of the moss. Is there a way to fix it?

[@anubismacc8165]

I'm in need of help, when I try to look for another shader to put on the material underneath, it doesn't appear even though it's applied to the object next to it

[@zorkyyyyyyy984]

Im working on Blender 4.0, and at 14:50, my moss material doesn't look bumpy and still seems completly flat. After adding the noise factor and the gradient factor, this same material has a good lock, but idk why the moss only material only looks like a flat plastic surface...

[@theaccout4458]

Nice

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks!!

[@danmusiceasy]

Great tutorial! Apparently the moss texture is more resource-intensive than the mushrooms with the glowing orbs because my PC can't render even a static image... I'll see if I can reduce the quality somehow and still make it look good...

[@ValeGoG]

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you!!

[@freshdews]

Thanks for the great tutorial! How do you make the connections between nodes linear instead of bent lines?

[@RyanKingArt]

you can change that in blender's user preferences. I have a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpamgaqpnqyEb7s

[@freshdews]

Could you do a tutorial on textures for teeth and a tongue?

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the ideas 👍‍

[@Kirbystarallies1]

@@RyanKingArt Could you also do a tutorial on eyes?

[@saraheidari2642]

Hi ryan I have probelm in my cycles view. I don't know why its too noisy and i can not understand any bump or color Can you help ma with the problem?

[@RyanKingArt]

It might be noisy because of the Sub-Surface Scattering. Sub Surface scattering takes longer to render. I'm not sure what you mean by the Bump and color. What is the problem with that?

[@ador989]

🤩

[@RyanKingArt]

🙂 👍‍

[@Alexander_Haplington]

I have an idea! What if, sort of like a "part two" to the meatball material, you show how to make procedural (with geometry nodes) spaghetti and them a spaghetti texture, and then maybe show how to make a rudimentary scene with the meatballs and the spaghetti.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for the idea! 👍‍

[@agapetus1]

Oh Ryan… I’ve watched enough mediocre node tutorials to completely replicate this just from a single screen shot… just, like, Charlie.

[@RyanKingArt]

I don't exactly know what you mean by that, but ok. : )

Hi! Is there a tutorial of how to add purchased materials to Blender? Thanks!

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes, i have a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3SmqISZjJmWeK8

[@qbukhari]

Is gpu needed for procedural materials? Because it slows down my notebook quite a bit

[@RyanKingArt]

No you don't need a GPU.

[@qbukhari]

I have a Dell 7490 notebook 16 gb RAM 512 nvme ssd Intel 620 graphics Whenever I use a single procedural material it slows down. Otherwise works just fine

[@fusion1203]

Does this material work with other procedural materials? So can I put this on another procedural material?

[@RyanKingArt]

yes exactly, you can add it to another material.

[@fusion1203]

@@RyanKingArt ok thanks because I was thinking that this could go well with your procedural mud material
