Speaking from the future, this was still useful because now I know what the iOR setting is in the Principled BSDF shader, as well as gaining a better understanding of the various settings I can use.

I don't use Blender very often anymore (busy with work), but I still enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for making these comprehensive tutorials for all these years.

Rewatching this really makes me appreciate how far 2.80 has improved upon every previous version so significantly. And I'm sure some of these videos have influenced the major changes that were introduced beyond 2.79.

@@scottviola8021 cause it makes no sense unless you have a good reason (for example, you're using an addon which is not supported with the new version). A new version of the software means some improvements, by using an old version u might waste time in rendering (cause the new version uses an optimized algorithm for example) and thus wasting your time, using more energy (maybe that new algo uses less resources by doing some less expensive calculations thanks to this optical theorem that wasn't yet implemented in 2.77) and so killing more polar bears for the exact same result... That's "why not" ;)

Returning to this video after what must be 5 years now. I was spoiled to be able to have such nice materials back then (even if I didn't know how to use them), and now I am looking back to see if my understanding of all this goes up with my maturity. Thank you so much for this two-part series, it has changed my perspective forever.

Andrew Price is my hero! :) I am starting to produce legit animations, thanks largely to Andrew, and this is exactly the video I need to clean up my renders and give them a professional look. Keep up the good work Andrew, and have an amazing day!

Thank you so much for all of your work and for what you bring to the whole Blender experience. Your humility and sense of humor are much appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks ! Even though I got lost halfway through, I managed to understand a little better when I got my hands on the actual PBR DIELECTRIC node, keep making these tutorials because they are really helpful !

Clear and well explained. You increased my knowledge about blender textures by like 200% with this 1 hour.

Thanks for this Andrew, it's exactly what I needed for my current project! No more guesstimating how to use PBR maps with Cycles.

Dude, this tutorial opened a completely new world to me. Amazing! Thank you and keep up the great work!

I knew that all of this wouldn't absorb the first watch (almost done), but I have learned so much from this and your other videos. Thank you!

Just something helpful, unwrap spheres from the top orthographic view. Then in the Add UV Sphere options, set the direction from view on equator, to view on poles. If you accidentally do it after having the image selected, then just uncheck the correct aspect box. Hope this helps. This was big help in making my OpenGL PBR node. Thanks Andrew. You've done it again

Great job, it shows a very thorough research and a virtuous spirit for sharing it all with the community. Many thanks again, for another good lesson.

I'm a big fan of your videos. I enjoy your all your tutorials even the incorrect ones. ;) You are a particularly good teacher and you are quite fun! Here is a small remark on this particular video: I don't understand why you chose to only raise to the power of 2 in the math nodes. I understand that it look simpler, but the correct value should have been 2.2 (as explain in your reference, RealLifePudding). Since you are not going into details of the math and just giving the answer you could as well have given the correct value... Here is the math for the viewers who cares : The variation that we want to obtain is y=x. However, Blender, by default, give a variation of y=x^(0.4545) or y=x^(1/2.2). If we raise this variation to the power of 2.2, y=(x^(1/2.2))^(2.2), it can be simplified to y=x^(2.2/2.2) or y=x^(1) or y=x. If it is raised only to the power of 2, y=(x^(1/2.2))^(2), it can be simplified to y=x^(2/2.2) or y=x^(0.9090). While this is close to a linear variation and a valid approximation to be useful in Blender, it is not perfect... Anyway, I could be wrong myself. I'm not a CG artist and I have look in the subject only briefly. On another subject, I work in nanotechnology and dielectric (or insulators) and metalic (or conductor) are therms that we use often. I must say that I find it quite amusing to ear those therms in a non scientific context. Also, the index of refraction (IOR) is a value that we use a lot. While it is true that a lot of materials have an IOR around 1.45, there are a lot of material that don't. Here are some examples of dielectric IOR that I know from the top of my head : water = 1.33, resists = between 1.5 and 1.8, silicon nitride = between 1.9 and 2.2. Needless to say that I would have liked to be able to change the IOR from the "supernode", but once again, I understand why you did not chose to bother... All that, just to say thank you for all your tutorial. They are great!

@maxximus8904

Love your comment! This tutorial is only now showing it's age. Most renderers are switching from a "reflection amount" sider to an IOR slider that will go from 1 to 3 with 1.45 being the default. This can replace the reflection amount in most cases Aditionally, since diffuse and sub surface scattering are the same thing in real life, only at a different scale, I expect this term will be merged in the future into a single robust solution. I find these developments that bring rendering closer to simulating how the real world works absolutely thrilling! papers are being published about this subject at an unimaginable rate and it's just great. Things like clearcoat with energy conservation and absorbsion are new and great for creating things like car paint materials and wooden floors. What a time to be alive!

An hour long tutorial I didn't skim through. Nice!

It was quite difficult to follow this from around the 30 minute mark up to 42 minutes (for a relative newbie anyway) but it worked for what I needed; it just took watching that part about 4 times. But now it's done, thanks for the help.

whao, that math thing at the end got me. Once this is understood it's actually quite clear :D Brilliant video, that helped a lot! Thanks for your great tutorials and additional explanations.

On the plus side if you come to this years later you don't know what has come before :) thanks for the video :)

Your videos always teaches me new stuffs

Thanks for that tutorial, this really helped me to understand the concept of PBR materials.

I love your tuturials, you do a good job. Working on my first Decal package. Thank you.

This is masterpiece. I don't have enough knowledge to be sure it's 100% accurate, but it seems to be, and I think it'll make my workflow way faster. Thank you sir !

Andrew, thank you so much for making these available to us! You're a ledge. I was wondering how one would link a Mapping node into the mix, to transform all of the Image Texture nodes simultaneously. Having to manually resize each one is becoming a real pain in the ass. Hope to hear back soon.

About half-way through I suddenly realised that what you were building later came to be in the Principled Shader, but this was like taking a peek under the hood of that shader to see how it works. And I really like your Less/More Slider. That could be a useful node.

13:08 My mind is blown! Such a clear illustration! Thank you dear sir! I have one comment about this: past a certain angle, the light is *completely* reflected (Total internal reflection) - which is what fiber optics rely on :)

Just when I thought Blender couldn't surprise me any more, it turns out you can steal a slider from one node and use it in another node! :D

I am new to Bender and 3D. Your videos make me excited about it. Thanks.

So glad we can download the file haha

This is great. Andrew your hard work and perseverance is outstanding. i followed all of it although the math didn't make sense but the logic does.

Hi, thank you for such an educational and in-depth plus easy tutorials.

Awesome Andrew! You're really helping us.

The best of the best. Our Guru. Thank you for all your wisdom. I love learning these things from you!

You are the man. Thanks for the upload!

Love this guys tone.

Thank you so much for creating this tutorial! Highly educational!

Thank you for your noble attitude of teaching your knowledge!

Much better. Thanks for putting in the effort. Still got some corrections about Fresnel, sorry. The Fresnel Reflection for tangential light (0° angle) depends on the Absorption, and the Reflection Coefficients of both materials, so the surrounding material (Air, Water, Oil...) and the material where the light is reflected. It can basically take any value, from almost 0% for water, 2-5% in commen plastics, to 100% for an ideal metal. In metals the Fresnel stays at approximately 100%. This is because in metals the electrons start to move arround in just the right fashion the compensate the external electromagnetic fields, effectively absorbing all the light. Due to the continuity relations for electric fields, this absorption leads to a high reflectivity. I hope this helps for the metals video, because, it's basically the same physics, just that the absoprtion goes waaaay up. Of course to make it more correct you would use multiple Fresnels, for the different color components, since gold doesn't absorb at all frequencies. So if you use 3 Fresnel filters for the RGB components, you should gain more control over the final fresults.

Fantastic! I've transposed your awesome tutorial to Poser 11's Cycles implementation and it works great. Thank you so much :-)

Of course! The main changes: -Fresnel when looking straight at it is 2-5% reflective, not 0% like I originally said. (14:12) -The default fresnel node already calculates it correctly! (3.34% reflectivity based on 1.45 IOR) -Roughness inputs should go through a math node to the Power of 2 (40:50) -Roughness maps need to be inverted for Cycles (48:30) Plus a new minor changes to the layout to make it simpler and easier to use Hope that helps!

Thank you Andrew! You did a great job! :)

Fantastic! I didn't realize how nodes could be mixed the way you did. I saw tutorials telling "just combine nodes of the same color and never mix them yellow with blue or gray, etc." But you are doing and is not a big deal! Why such (mistaken?) advice from other tutorials?

Top notch work.

I realize how much work, research, understanding and knowledge have led to Blender being what it is today and what you and others like CynicatPro have contributed as pioneers. Thanks a lot for that! Beginnerquestion from 2021: If I wanted to in- or decrease the roughness in the principled bsdf shader do I still use the colorramp or Multiply/add overlay method or would a clearcoat simply fix this?

@maxximus8904

Жыл бұрын

Reply a bit late but the multiply/add method with an overlay is still a robust way to modify your values in an artist friendly way. Do not use clearcoat though! See clearcoat as a double material. It simulates a layer of varnish on top of your base material. Often seen in materials like Car paint, Highgloss furniture, varnished parquet floors and those old fashioned varnished veneer tables. For those you could use clearcoat :) If you just want to modify the sharpness of the reflection the multiply add method works quite well I personally just put it into a math node set to multiply, 1 is unchanged, 0 is completely shiny and anything above 1 makes the surface more rough Cheers!

Great video, On to part 2!!

This is so awesome. First I thought omg 1hour video for one material.. I'll just skip through it. But I guess i watched the hole thing about 2 times now. You explain everything so well that it is totaly worth it and I actually learned alot from it. You should definitly make more of these videos to explain nodes in action and what they actually do. Great Job!
