Blender - Hard Surface landscape in Blender 2.8

[@tirthv6746]

You can, - Add a metallic PBR material of your choice - Add a wobbliness to the lavalike orange spot to make it look a little unpredictable instead of just a perfect circle - Plates and orange emissive material looks isolated from each other so there should be a way to make both of them look like they are interacting with each other. - You can use a black-orange coloured image to give it a variation and realism without many efforts. - Abstract Background reflections can be added. (Little bit practice work for intermediate learners )

all you have to do to solve any problem: add in a color ramp!

[@saman6890]

If youre using 2.8+ version i recommend putting your vornoi settings on 3D - Smooth F1 - Chebychev this gives you a rather similar result And also scale down the smoothness

[@Shadowreaper8435]

just a quick note for everyone using blender 2.81 who wants to follow this tutorial: not all the settings for the voronoi node mentioned at 1:40 are possible anymore since the node has been hcnged in 2.81 the way to still get the exact texture shown is by making a math node, setting it to subtract and connecting hte distance value of a voronoi texture set to 3D, F2 and chebychev into the top value and the distance value of a voronoi texture set to 3D, F1 and chebychev. then you will have the exact same texture as shown in this video. ideally the scale values on both voronoi textures should be the same (if you want to copy this tutorial exactly: it's still 1.7) otherwise you'll end up with very weird looking patterns

[@SkinnyBlackout]

What are you on about? Cycles is nowhere near as intensive as eevee, it just takes longer to render. Try making a complex scene and render it with eevee and see for yourself how your performance chokes up, whereas with cycles you can easily browse the internet or watch a video at the same time as you render. Besides, most eevee renders look like trash to a person who is well aware of screenspace gimmicks.

500 render samples is waaay too much for anyone to handle in a timely manner xD Try using branched path tracing instead, you can then selectively choose which part of the render should use more samples, otherwise you are just sampling stuff you don't need. Also, take a look at the newly added Intel AI denoiser node, you'll enjoy it's power. You won't need as much samples, and get a way cleaner image.

I know this was 2 years ago but I found the problem. The bottom part of the color ramp is changed to orange rather than the black it's supposed to be because of the part earlier where he made the mistake of putting in the orange early. Or at least I think that's why it saved that way. Either way it can easily be fixed by clicking the bottom part of the color ramp and shifting it to black for anyone wondering how to fix it!
