When there is nothing on TV and after I jogged and swam, I do Blender tutorials. Yours are among the best. Congrats.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you! Glad you like them.

@@RyanKingArt You know there would be real good money in a realistic skin texture, don't you? I mean procedural skin texture.

One more addition to my "Ryan King Art Materials" Blend File! If 3D art ever makes me money, I will pass it along. For now I recommend you and Guru to anyone using Blender. You two are the ones who taught me this program. Very grateful!

Can I just say I fucking love that you throw up the whole node layout in one screenshot at the beginning of your videos? I understand the basics, but jumping right into a tree I can pull from your videos has been helpful in my learning. Thank you immensely for that!

Jesus Christ you are a god. How many hours you mustve spent on this program. I hope one day I can create something this complex without copying, like you man

And no, I'm not a god, but I'm glad you like the materials.

[@drnotna8713]

In Blender 4 or later The Musgrave Texture is gone, you can use the noise Texture instead and a color ramp after it to get the same result. You just have to subtract the detail by 1.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes exactly. I actually made a video about that when it was changed

Gonna be honest, I didn't want to use your exact parameters ended up with a much different material. Still very satisfied, I just have to okay around and see what does what. Thanks for the tutorial

Hi Ryan, I am slowly working through your procedural tutorial playlist. I simply could download them (because Patreon), but it is much more interesting to follow your video and create it along with you. One tiny suggestion: I have started to add the created material to the asset browser. Perhaps you would want to do that as well at the end of the creation process (just as you go through the lighting and add-on routine in the beginning, a little asset browser routine at the end). Just a thought, but I think it would help viewers to stay organized.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks! 👍‍

The MixRGB has been replaced. The Mix can be used but has to be set on Color. The relief I haven't been able to find a solution for there is some but I cannot go off scale so to speak. Still the better procedural you can get.

[@RyanKingArt]

Add the "Mix Color" node instead.

[@lemonmttm8988]

thank you

[@RyanKingArt]

You're welcome!

[@abdouuabdouu5853]

Can you make us a tutorial about the mixrgb node and how does each one of the blender mode work 🙏🙏🙏

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the tutorial idea.

[@CityRoastGames]

So this tutorial is GREAT. I am having an issue where the scale of the material when i bring it into the model I have is WAY TOO BIG. Is there a quick way to scale down the entire shader you created for much smaller scale models? Maybe by adding a Mapping Node between the Principal BSDF and Material Output node?

[@ro0n655]

this was soooo helpful. but i was wondering if you count do this with an image texture maybe. just so it's not so taxing. that would be great. other then that loved the vid!

[@RyanKingArt]

you could bake the texture out to texture maps if you want to.

[@TafferTape]

Trying to follow this on 4.2 and not getting the same results as they've changed certain nodes like the Musgrave one is a noise one now.

[@RyanKingArt]

yeah they kinda combined the musgrave features into the noise

[@airborne1459]

Looks like a moon

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah it kinda does. : )

[@agdigiart7407]

Where is the maskgrave texture now?

[@Astopia]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial Ryan. It helps a lot. I have a remark/ question tho: for the roughness map creation: since the darker colors make the object more shiny and the brighter colors make it more rough... wouldn't it make more sense to first "color invert" de base color map which you use as a base to apply the Colorramp node on for creating the roughness map? That way the little black holes in het concrete which you created earlier would be rougher and less shiny (which would make more sense to me personally)?

[@RyanKingArt]

oh yeah that might be a bit better. thanks for the feedback. 👍‍

[@Dexter_459]

This is awesome! How do you find out how to do this stuff? I could never do this! I'm loving the content!

Blender's user interface and windows can be edited and customized.

[@abdoashraf7403]

Thanks alot for sharing ur knowledge and for the procedural materials playlist I have a question Along all the tutorials I've followed with u, I still can't understand what does the Factor of MixRGB exactly do when u insert a texture into it. For example when u linked the voronoi texture with the factor of MixRGB, what did the MixRGB node understand and how this affected the values of color1 and color2?

[@RyanKingArt]

the factor controls how much its using of color 1 and color 2. so think of the factor as like a mask.

[@johnray1956]

I am getting some really strange results, i keep getting odd artifacts, like phycodelic colors, and strange lines.

[@RyanKingArt]

hmm that's weird. maybe you plugged in one of the wrong node sockets.

[@RealGaryGibson]

Very nice looking concrete! How do you think this procedural method compares to using concrete image files? Is procedural easier/lighter on the render load? I'm just curious.

[@RyanKingArt]

actually image textures render slightly faster them procedural materials, but the advantage of procedural materials are how customizable they are.

[@RealGaryGibson]

@@RyanKingArt Thanks Ryan!

[@ironstrongman]

Hello Ryan King I hope you and your family are alright. I would like you make a step by step tutorial about how to make an animated film. I would like you teach me the whole process from preproduction to production to postproduction. I would really appreciate you make this tutorial.

[@thelazzydesigner1688]

its not really giving the desirable results with rectangles. Can you pleases make a tutorial on how to set textures on cuboids

If your using the object coordinates on the mapping then there shouldn't be any stretching.

Any tips on how to get a Noise Texture node to look like your Musgrave Texture? I'm playing with values, but everything I get is blended grays.

[@MegaFedeo]

Uncheck the 'normalize'-box in the Noise Texture that replaces Musgrave Texture

[@AllButOneSB]

idk why but my textures dont have any shine to them, its just a basic gray flat color with some black in it

[@RyanKingArt]

hmm, try changing the color ramp colors before the roughness so its more shiny.

[@StannyGames]

what keys do you press at 3:14

[@RyanKingArt]

Hold down the Control and Shift Keys, and then click on a node.
