Here's a pro tip: Plastic don't rust

[@Mr.Kaktus-bt9xo]

Its dirt not rust

[@MAKRstudios]

@@Mr.Kaktus-bt9xo someone didn't watch the whole video then

[@user-qr4jf4tv2x]

he does say dirt but dirt at the start of video the thumbnail looked like its rusted while near the end of video he says he adds rust.. what i think it lacked is dirt overall and scratches the cartridge does look new it was missing discoloration

[@qburtgamez7548]

⁠@@MAKRstudiosdude he says dirt forming on the cartridge 3:49

[@MAKRstudios]

@@qburtgamez7548 ok, dude... he adds rust to the top right of the cartridge 8:53 again, someone didn't watch the whole video before commenting.

[@wavetro]

man I wish I knew the basic variety of geometry node possibilities, like how you taught here about how one of the ways to procedurally mask materials is by targeting the denser areas of vertices with that bevel dot matrix stuff. the texture painting workflow was a relief to learn about though. great stuff as usual smeaf!

[@Smeaf]

It’s honestly so complex, it takes a long time to get comfy with it!

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

Yeah this is one of the first times I've been genuinely excited about using G nodes

[@somechikn5128]

just started diving into this world and was slightly overwhelmed by all the videos and all the information at once, you explained very well and without a million words! Great video thanks

[@Smoses_senpai]

The add segway was really good

[@killamilla6]

Bro you need to make more video like this.

[@minotaursgamezone]

Thanks Mr Best

[@blaggjah13]

1:00 "Check out this Conk"-- *sudden cut to ad* i just found that very unintentionally hilarious

[@juliaalder2007]

Wow, 7 commercial breaks and a sponsor. And everything in 11 minutes.

[@jaotur2673]

i keep coming back to this video, it helps me a lot! thanks smeaf

[@bander960]

Learning that I could combine painted textures with image and procedural textures (which I had been using near-exclusively for months) was by far one of the most exciting things I’ve ever been told I could do. Really excited to utilize these in combination with each other for my next project!

[@Smeaf]

Hell yeah brother!

[@collinbragg4796]

its not doing anything because you keep plugging things into other things and not saying anything about it

[@RakeshDas-uo1hl]

But how does plastic catch rust? That is the question.

[@StevenDiLeo]

8:51 My Banjo and Kazooie senses are tingling

[@aditinath]

please show the entire shader window. at some places its really hard to understand where some connections are being made since each and every step is not being explained. i am saying this as an absolute beginner. thank you for the tutorial though really appreciate it!

[@exorcist3d99]

Absolutely loving the editing. Congrats on 100k man, remember finding you when your first lighting vid hit my recommended and you've been killing it since then

[@Smeaf]

Thanks! Yeah feels like forever ago

[@Obi3D]

Love the tutorial. Very helpful. But this meme editing is infuriating

[@leafy_5]

Such a good segue into the ad 👍👏 thanks for a very informative video!

[@juestone]

Bro this guy has 100k subs and responds to comments?!? +1 sub ❤

[@Smeaf]

[@user-ue4yr6bs1v]

good info, but the editing is migraine inducing. really annoying and if you like it youre a baby person

[@BrandonBloxBB]

This is an awesome intro to geo nodes for me!

[@Smeaf]

Aye nice

[@BrandonBloxBB]

@@Smeaf I’m also a pretty new sub to you as I am wanting to learn a lot on lighting and animating after the layout of blender and some modeling, then simulations/vfx with geo nodes, and addons like a terrain addon and more! If you know a good bit on that to talk about that would be great! I am learning with cg cookie as well and they are awesome :) This is my first full year with blender and yea as you say it can be tough to stick with it but I’m glad I have my year plus planned with what I want to learn and a awesome community to talk to! Switching form gaming to animating - long story

[@bomerio_re2229]

Incredible tutorial, keep pushing these high quality videos and color everyone surprise

[@Smeaf]

Thank you man 🙏

[@NightVisionOfficial]

Always amaze me :), great memes (most of the time 💀), music, sound effects, and editing. Quality videos, i almost feel bad having them for free

[@thebowevmaniac]

No joke, I saw this channel through a youtube shorts advert about a “phone storage cleaning”

[@WaveCommotion]

3:27💀 this is smart, you got my attention the whole video with all the memes coming up every now and then + it's super useful thanks🙏😊

[@fillman86]

so many lines going out from nodes that you never show what they connect to DX so hard to follow

[@gkhnaltay]

what is the shortcut for mixing two different textures in here 3:06 ?

[@krapiwka1154]

Shift+Ctrl+RMB

[@ccuny1]

This is so good even an old newb like me could follow. Thank you very much! BTW, love the alien computer keycaps. If that is one of yours, a tutorial would be fantastic.

[@Smeaf]

Wow, i'm glad to hear that! No it's not mine, that's from a user on Behance by the name of Pasha Ho Although I will be making a tut about it

[@EdenHamilton]

Good tutorial, but honestly the previous version looked better and more realistic. Why would the cartridge be rusty and burnt? Good attention to detail is great for realism, but adding unnecessary detail for the sake of it, has the opposite effect and makes models looks less realistic.

[@richeeze]

Especially since it´s plastic. Idk but, I´ve never heard of rusty plastic lol.

[@PatoChu]

imperfections make perfection

[@EdenHamilton]

@@PatoChu only if those imperfections make sense though.

[@abidali-ei2nj]

man i didn't understand shit and still watched till the end 😂

[@lmmffn]

the sound the meme the perfection❤ oheellnae you even predicted me at 4:20

[@Smeaf]

I knew I wasn't the only one

[@gainsaver5972]

You made everything worse XD

[@HaiderAli-wm6mq]

Why didn't you use an ambient occlusion or pointyness node instead of the geometry and bevel ones? It seems like a simpler way to it, is there something i am missing?

[@peteradams2063]

Probably so he could segue into his sponsor.

[@omgtntlol]

ao doesn't get all of the edges, only inner corners where ao would occur

[@Negniwret]

Please show the node tree more clearly. The editing is really jumpy and it's a chore to follow along

[@notnowjohn]

4th method: forget about blender and do it on substance painter

[@drawingboots9274]

Yo nice work smeaf but can you play more games? Also WHEN WILL YOU LIVE STREAM ❤ lol

[@Smeaf]

I'm probably going to do that on another channel, i'll let you know once I get around to it

[@magyararon6918]

These videos are sooooooo over edited. Like, why the vomit inducing camera shake effect?

[@johnotron604]

Is there a way to bake the diffuse information of a multi-layered procedural texture as 1 image?

[@Smeaf]

I believe so, probs too complex for a comment though

[@lordeddardstark4471]

why dont you just share us the whole node layout so we can screenshot it instead of replaying it again and again. Thanks

[@garrazi6272]

The best film about texturing I have watched so far. Thank You! It helped a lot

[@gabrielgomes5340]

Your videos are so helpful!! I'm a complete beginner and the way you teach makes everything much more easier to understand!! Thanksss for the effort!!

[@Smeaf]

That’s amazing to hear, glad your liking them!

[@protongamin4544]

But where are you pasting the MixRGB????

[@tobymdev]

really basic yet not beginner friendly tutorial

[@bellousow2607]

Amazing

[@lilgamedev]

The voice cracks throughout the video had me dying

[@JM-nw2pb]

it would help to see the final material node for a couple of seconds at the end so we can have a good look at your material, thanks!

[@SouthernShotty]

Nice tutorial😊

[@Smeaf]

Thanks!

[@ObscureHedgehog]

Why is there rust on a plastic cartridge? 😩😩😩

[@GagziProductions69]

How much time does it get to you to edit your vidoes

[@Smeaf]

This vid took fr about 3 days to edit However, the prep before hand was immaculate and because of circumstances, I was working on the edit for 24 hours straight at one point.

[@mgproductions2007]

Man I gotta say, I hate your editing style, actually re-watch your tutorials and try to follow them. All these zooms and camera following the mouse and then cutting to gags. I get you're trying to be entertaining but functionally this is so hard to follow. Rewatch 4:00 - You've zoomed in so much - Camera following mouse - fast cuts - you suddenly start raising the bevel samples - then cutaway - then goes into gag - then goes into sponsored advert. (in the middle of explaining something......) - cut back and you've returned the bevel samples back to default?? - you've plugged the dot product value into something but have cut off what it is and skipped that part.... If I freeze at 6:16 i can see for a split second what you have ONE of the values plugged into but you've hidden the other. Why are you purposely making it so hard to see your node layout? - now add this node, add this node, add this node, add this node, add this node! - large text coming up over the screen obscuring what you're doing. - too make it even more challenging, you've added motion blur to every camera movement. (refer to 9:20) as if it's not hard enough to follow already, you're actively blurring the nodes. Hold on. What are we even plugging this all into, you always seem to cut off where you're nodes start and end. Like you are self-aware enough to know you're making it hard to follow, so why present it in that way. Zoom out. Slow Down. There needs to be a moment where you just show you're full node setup and then explain how you accomplished it.

[@henryborba5921]

The bevel method doesn't appear to work anymore.

[@neh7124]

I started to feel inspired when i heard glorious morning while i watching this tutorial. It's pure cinema

[@irfanalici7499]

This editing and the use of memes is so beautiful. This video was so more enertaining then some random meme videos. Great job

[@TheRumpletiltskin]

SMEAF, I NEEDED THIS RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE A MIND READER.

[@asherroland]

my bevel is giving nothing. the dot product is just entirely white. did I miss a step? our settings look the same

[@Lensdisc]

Before watching this video:Not knowing how to make edge rust. After watching: Knowing how to implement edge materials that collaborates with the geometry. 😮😂

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

8 mo. late, but just gotta have a pedantic moment for myself w/out going into detail cuz no one will read: I liked the image on the left at the beginning better. Every picture tells a story and the one on the right didn't make sense in so many ways it triggered an unpalatable distaste of its uncanniness. But I love your work, man. Much appreciated. 👈😜👍

[@murmullito]

hey, thanks...just a lil feedback ...u use too many cuts on the explanation...Dont cut, let us follow your steps on your pc... love! :)

[@jeremvfx]

Thank you so much ! I think the best option is taking picture irl, creating pbr seamless with the software, then adding layers of mask. And if you have a particular need you can texture paint on top of that

[@Mix3Design]

Smeaf texturing tutourials is funny tho

[@KaizenTutorials]

Another bangeroonie! 🔥

[@Smeaf]

[@binhminhki]

Loved the video! Very informative and enternaining. Although the music choice doesn't feel right sometimes and the overused reverb effects to cut the music kinda gets annoying especially towards the end

[@NintendObiWan]

I might be a bit stupid, but how did you join the two texture nodes with the green line?

[@VisualRoot]

Soy el like número 1000

[@KlimQ415]

Hey, I love your content, it really helps me a lot to study blender and I have a question. When you were making a keyboard commercial do you have all ready-made whole keyboard model by company or do you had to make it all by your self?

[@SafetyFirstToolFans.94]

In one of hisother videos he mentions that when you're working with a client it's very dependent. So in some cases a company or individual might have a set of materials ready for you- or perhaps another comp/individual may expect you to be making them yourself. The key to finding out and also deciding if it is worth your efforts (or even something you can reasonably accomplish) is by asking them questions about what they are looking for and what they have. It also might help to offer them honest options based on what work you can do and what quality it could have in a given timeframe. Other times maybe they (or even YOU) have deadlines to meet. Questions (Fwiw I'm interested in knowing about that particular keyboard too though. Hah)

[@blakestevenson7261]

very informative and awesome video. Also very cheeky and clever editing !!! muito funny

[@fanxxai]

The moment Morty comes in. You captured the feeling so well.

[@ricardoangra761]

Looks simple but to understand the majority of the medium/complex nodes you need a degree in math, out of reality for my country

Why does a plastic game cartridge have rust on it 😁

[@Smeaf]

For the purposes of demonstration, as an illustrative example, or to serve as a model for instructional or explanatory ends, the phrase "demonstrational purposes" may be employed.

[@rafatopolski7628]

Don't think we didn't see the topology on that N64 cart. Naughty, naughty - next video should be about fixing that!

😳 Thank goodness it's not actually my model

[@MehzabinIntiajMisha]

BRILLIANT TUTORIAL, NEVER KNEW HOW TO WORK WITH BRUSH WHILE TEXTURINGI N BLENDER I THOUGHT PEOPLE TEXTURE WITH BRUSH ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A 3D SCULPTING SET.

[@noyura]

How did you add the mario images? i cant figure out how to add more than 2 materials

[@zaharymilanov3929]

Great video! Do you know how I can export these procedural materials in game engines like Unity or Unreal? As far as I know, nodes cannot be exported and this is why game developers use other programs for texturing like Substance Painter.

[@EFX612]

You’d have to bake the procedural texture into image maps for each input like color, roughness, etc. and then import those into ur engine, plenty of good tutorials if u look up texture baking in blender
