Thanks😊

Hi VFX artist here 👋 to all the people saying that this isn’t procedural, let me explain to you why it is. On a normal model where you have created UV’s and maybe painted the textures in Mari or Substance painter, the texture is locked to those UV’s and that object. Whereas here Jonas has created a procedural shader with non procedural textures so that no matter the object or the UV’s the shader will always react correctly, the edges will always be worn out, the faces will always have streaking effects and no matter what there will be no texture stretching/distortion. Hope that helps, keep up the good work Jonas 👍

[@JonasNoell]

I think the missunderstanding probably is that some confuse a procedural SHADER with a procedural TEXTURE.

[@solso4d]

4 minutes in and you have already used a bunch of features I've never touched on in my workflow 😅 Such good value for time.

[@JonasNoell]

Happy to hear that :-)

[@GiuseppeBrischetto-mj3ni]

quello che colpisce di te è il modo chiaro di come spieghi le cose. Veramente bravo Jonas!!!!!

[@L3nny666]

next up you should do a procedural street asphalt with markings and tyre wear off streaks, cracks etc... procedural rain puddles to quickly plug into every ground material in the scene would also be a great topic.

[@JonasNoell]

Good idea will think about that!

Regardless which render engine you're using, there are so many goodies to take home here. I can easily apply these techniques to Karma in Houdini for my personal work. Thanks!

[@JonasNoell]

That's great! Yeah I try to show more general concepts of shading which are probably possible in most render engines. Maybe I should get away from being so V-Ray centric to attract a larger audience. Need think about that :-)

[@tondann]

@@JonasNoell If you want to attract a larger audience, consider Blender tutorials 😄

[@F10F11hm]

I keep coming here and leave in awe every time. Photorealism and that attention to detail of yours! It would take a lot of time to paint all these little imperfections manually, yet here you are, building clever shaders in such a way they look great and behave correctly even on greatly varying geometry. Put some Vray Decals on top for good measure and I'd mistake these screengrabs for photos.

[@L3nny666]

GEIL! Ich hab's beim beton nie so ganz hinbekommen mit dem vray dirt zu arbeiten. der tipp mit der vray color auf multiplier ist echt stark, hab mich immer gefragt warum der effekt so schwach ist...

[@wonderboy75]

Very nice! I did not know that V-ray edges could be used with the composite node (I usually put it in the bump slot of the normalmap). Also nice touch with the extra bump to break up the edges!😍

[@TheNikolaMNE]

Dude amazing! Without doubt the best and most useful tutorial on how to me make a proper Vray material I have seen on KZbin so far. Looking forward to check more of your videos!

[@dubtube6691]

thank you for your great tutorials 👌

[@mikegentile13]

Very cool. Wondering why you chose to change the reflection instead of leaving it white and change the glossy instead.

[@JonasNoell]

Good question, I don't have a logical answer to that to be honest :-) Basically I just remembered in the end that I didn't have any reflections and with pure white and low glossiness values it became too overblown with the current setup so I countered it using this way. But yeah that part could have been done better. :-)

[@mikegentile13]

@@JonasNoell no worries. I'm always wondering the "why" on things. Nice work as always!

A procedural material by definition means no bitmaps are used. I get that there’s no texture painting uvs but there’s still a bitmap in there.

Hey Jonas, another fantastic tutorial! A lot of good stuff shown in easy to understand way 🥰 I wonder if it is possible to make the material that create those leaks only on Vertical surfaces so these don't occur on top and bottom of those conrete slabs? Tried to find something on the internet but with no result. And chat GPT is crap when it comes to help in 3ds max 😅

[@JonasNoell]

Can do, you would need to combine it with another mask though. You can try a basic fallof with local world Z-axis for example.

[@mateuszomanski9169]

@@JonasNoell Yeah, that falloff mask works like a charm. I've never explored those functions of falloff map, thanks so much!

[@lazardanilovic]

Would you say that this and your other tutorials could be applied to corona aswell, ofc using coronas equivalent maps?

[@JonasNoell]

I'm no expert in Corona but I'm quite sure most can be transferred. But the easiest would be to just try and see if it can be done by yourself or?

thanks so much mate i love your tutorials - wish you could do corona ones also?

[@JonasNoell]

[@mateogaon9762]

Hi! I have a question, when and when not to change filter mult and blur parameters? And why? Also are this parameters the same thing in VrayBitmap or ther work in different ways?

[@JonasNoell]

Basically values below 1 will sharpen the texture and values above will blur it. I would leave this at default unless there is something specific you want to achieve…

[@nunomota9838]

dumb question...what is the shortcut for the search in material editor?

[@johnny5132]

can i ask - with the wall thickness, if i pu ta dirt distance of more than 150mm (which is the thickness of the wall) - then it all becomes the dirt color - do you just detach the polys you want with the dirt and leave the inner walls as another object (or ID) - if that makes sense?

[@JonasNoell]

Sure, can do. But this should only affect the inner occlusion mode. For inner occlusion you normally don’t use so high values as you normally just use it to mask out edges…

[@Azad-qm2pm]

Yo boss, I would like to ask if you could do all these stuff using compact material editor as well ? This slate material editor is just too complicated, I am sorry for being too dumb not to understand the logic behind all those bridges and connections you are doing there 💔

[@JonasNoell]

Sure, in fact I normally only use the compact editor. I just use the slate for the tutorials because people were complaining they couldn’t flow if I use the compact one 😀

[@StudioReplica_Arch]

Love u dude

[@stephenhibberd4309]

I'm not a max user but is the composite node the same as layered texture in Maya?

[@JonasNoell]

From my understanding yes

[@rafalkasza]

So basically you use textures in procedural shader?

[@JonasNoell]

Yes, but those are procedurally placed using triplanar and with procedurally generated dirt effects and so on. You could of course also use procedural noises to try to create the textures themselves but I can't see any benefit in that.

[@BartekGarncarek]

I ❤ you😜

[@JonasNoell]

Cool

[@MrMadvillan]

haha sometimes you have to go to the bottom of the comments to find the truth. All these commentators don’t seem to grasp the concept of procedural. There may be procedural nodes in the graph but the whole point of a procedural mat is that it is resolution independent. Once you put a map in there you’re working with a fixed resolution - there a real performance and image quality outcomes associated with. Just sayen.

[@JonasNoell]

So a material that uses procedural maps is by your definition not a procedural material then… Interesting 🤔Some maps are procedural some are not. If you want to exchange the remaining texture maps by noises then be my guest. And while you are at it you can make a tutorial about it and call it the true 100% pure procedural material. I would be the first one to watch 👍

[@尤兆腾]

Thank you so much for sharing, you are my favorite author. Also, can the last edge bump bitmap be directly connected to the original vrayedgesTex？

[@JonasNoell]

Hi there! Technically yes but it would generate a slightly different effect as it would just define the rounded corners width.
