I love procedural materials so much, I'm basically recreating the Genesis sequence from Wrath of Khan for a music video right now, and I'm using this in Eevee to have the Earth start as a lava planet. Thanks so much!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching!

[@user-hk3lv4mk5f]

Out of 4-5 procedural material videos of yours i watched, this one had the best explanation

[@RyanKingArt]

glad you like it!

[@franpower8208]

Great tutorial! I love how organized you make the shader window, because creating great procedural materials is complex.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!

[@franpower8208]

The results are incredible! I'm so happy with how realistic the Lava looks.

Could do with an explanation of the last part, with the glow, please.

[@darkshiro7226]

Were you able to solve this problem? I'm stuck here too

[@darkshiro7226]

I found my solution. To make your project glow properly after adding the "glare" effect in compositing, try this approach in the LAVA shading: Connect a Color Ramp node to the BSDF node (color to color) and set the emission strength to a value between 5 and 10. This should resolve the issue and make your glow effect work correctly. I had previously connected Alpha to the strength, which is why it didn't work :D

For those who thinking that displacement is not working just switch to the rendered view its working there

[@RyanKingArt]

yes, the displacement only works in the rendered mode, not material preview. 👍‍

[@muxecoid]

When you need to choose between affected and unaffected region a math node with greater than could work. Multiplied by the original. If needed. I feel it expresses the intent better, than a ramp.

Hello! 👋

[@funnycrappycomics2314]

amazing ryan as always , the process for baking this would be the same no special steps for them?

[@RyanKingArt]

I don't think so, however, you might want to bake a displacement map.

[@arseny8455]

@@RyanKingArt Very cooool👍

[@user-fd1rk7rk5p]

I identify one flaw with this. The .5 distortion factor that indicates the red-orange lava flow lines, they do not correlate with the solid parts. (for example, sometimes they flow *into* the solid rock parts, and sometimes they flow parallel to the "shorelines" of the rocky parts. There should be some physics that determine how the flows are related to the rocky parts, right? Theoretically, is there a way to fix this, or is maybe this just something that is not possible within blender?

[@Soulsphere001]

I should probably reinstall Blender with version 3.4, since Linear Light is not something that is an option on the old Mix RGB node.

[@RyanKingArt]

No the linear light is in the older mix RGB node too. I used it in many of my tutorials before 3.4 was released.

[@Soulsphere001]

@@RyanKingArt Ack! Yeah, I see it now. Thank you. I think I get confused with it because if the drop-down menu opens upward it reverses the order of list of blend modes. So I never got comfortable with the way they're displayed.

I tried baking emission texture but it breaks everything? What am I doing wrong?

Hi Ryan. I have been watching and following your KZbin channel for almost two years now. You and your KZbin channel are excellent! I have been recommending your KZbin channel on Facebook Blender groups, and to any of my friends who want to learn Blender. I was just wondering what specs do you have in your computer? It must be pretty powerful for you to do the designs you do on youtube. Thank you. Do you have another computer besides the one you film videos on for KZbin so you can practice/play around with Blender?

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching my tutorials! I only use one computer for my Blender work. *Here are my PC specs:* Ryzen-3900X CPU 12 Core 24 Threds Cooler Master CPU Liquid Cooler EVGA Supernova 1000 Watt Power Supply RTX 2080 Super WINDFORCE OC 8G Graphics Card 500 GB Solid State Drive 3TB Hard Drive 3000 MHz DDR4 32 GB Ram Thermaltake Level 20 MT ARGB Mid Tower Computer Case ASUS ROG Crosshair VI Hero (WI-FI AC) AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 M.2 USB 3.1 ATX X370 Motherboard

[@TrevorSomers]

@@RyanKingArt Wow! Thank you Ryan for sharing your specs with me. I'm surprised you run a RTX 2080 Super WINDFORCE OC 8GB Graphics Card, I would think you would at least have a RTX 3080 with 24GB of Vram for the stuff you produce on your channel. Have you seen a system using Blender using the new RTX 4090 GC? I bet it is blazing fast for rendering. Take care.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@TrevorSomers Well I bought that card like 2 and a half years ago, so next time I upgrade my computer, I will buy a better one. Yeah I would love to get an RTX 4090 sometime.

@@RyanKingArt Cool! I was thinking could you animate the lava in this tutorial somehow? Like make it flow. That would be a cool effect if you could. Wow! 2 and a half years ago! I bet you are ready for an upgrade.

[@timfriese7410]

hey, really great video(am using this for a school project) but I have one problem, the displacement doesn't work at all, at first I thought it was because I wasn't in cycles but after I changed that it still didn't work, any ideas?

[@Fa1seP0sitive]

I was having the same issue and just now realize that it only seems to displace when in render view instead of in material preview. It shows correctly in render view, in render, and in the material preview in the materials menu.

Oh, so you've made a NYC material. I live in that here. You'd be surprised what you can get used to if you are exposed to it long enough. I've been wondering about why you use voronoi over musgrave texture nodes, and noise texture over white noise nodes (the content creators in the EU tend to use white noise nodes to add randomness), I wonder the difference... is it a thought out choice by you, or it's always how you've done it so it was like grandfathered in?

[@RyanKingArt]

Umm yeah I just like using the voronoi and noise textures.

[@jeffreyspinner9720]

@@RyanKingArt I was hoping it was something deeper (!), but alas nope. k. I was thinking it was a eurocentric to cowboy (they call us cowboys) centric way of thinking... idk. The Blenderverse is wide and deep and completely inscrutable to me at least.

[@thai_le_foto]

Hi, I'm incredibly confused how mine is not looking remotely close to yours with the voronoi texture part. in 4.0, adding the color ramp after the voronoi texture, it only reveals the black "rock" spots as the noise lines, so it looks completely unrealistic. Yours is showing like rock filled chunks, mine is only showing black outlines, not filling in any gaps like that. No matter where the color ramp setting is. So the final result is not revealing any rocks at all, it is just showing a ton of those barely distorted triangles from the voronoi......I just deleted all that and re did it again and same result, it is not doing any reveal, when connecting voronoi texture distance to mix shader fac, it does not do what yours does and do nothing, it in fact shows the voronoi texture lines instead, and when using the color ramp, it only makes the orange spots brighter, not revealing like it shows on yours. So something must have changed, because this no longer works it seems.
