Make Realistic Ice in 10 minutes in Blender (Procedural) 2022

Learn how to make photorealistic ice in Blender 🧊 Even if you've never used BSDF shader node before.
We'll use Eevee as well as Cycles and you can add a lot of your own variation to the final result by changing the roughness, using different noise scales and introducing new types of noise to create different types of ice.
In this tutorial for CG Cookie, Chris Bailey (@CBaileyFilm) will shows you how to make photorealistic procedural ice using blender's powerful principled BSDF shader node.
[0:27] Starting with the default cube
[0:47] Displacement modifier
[1:30] Bevel modifier
[2:00] Shader editor - adding materials
[2:20] Making the ice cube transparent 🧊
[4:30] Adding HDRIs
[6:45] Adjusting the roughness of our ice
[7:30] Switching to Cycles
[8:15] IOR = Index of Refraction
This tutorial is great for beginners and pros alike. Chris explains every detail while getting straight to the point. Enjoy! 🧊

So simple but effective, definitely picked a few things up here along with other videos. This channel is becoming a favourite
Great tutorial,very easy to follow. Many thanks for sharing CG Cookies
Incredible and easy tutorial. I was going in to this thinking I was going to sit with a 20 minute tutorial without understanding anything ty
Fantastic! I really like these bite size videos - really good tips
Oh man! This is such an amazing tutorial. Thanks for your help :D
Nice tut, man! Very helpful!
Thank you very much :) Simple and efficient material setup for beginners.
You're a magician. Thank you!
thank you for this
Ice material explained so well, thx
Thanks!
Try to add some cloudy whitish volume inside the ice cubes. First, used the principle volume node and a detailed rough displacement to make it look like lines frozen in ice. It's the effect of being trapped inside the ice in the real world. :)
Dude, as a begginer this tutorial was just awsome! keep going man
so useful! thx for this tutorial!!
Shiiiieeee', this is looking fresh. Nice little tutorial!
Very, very good video. Thank you very much for this tutorial. I am still a beginner when it comes to Blender. After I got the ice cube done like you did, I was very happy about it. Thank you very much.
Super helpful tutorial!
very good tutorial especially for beginners
I enjoyed this tutorial... When I can get something similar to the tutorial... Then I feel like I learned something... And the commentary helped me to understand what I am doing and why... Thanks for sharing...
Hell yeah great tutorial señor 👌🏽
Yooooo! Thank you for this tutorial, I was trying to make a model look entirely like ice, this did it!
Wow! Very Nice!
Thank you for the excellent tips~!
wow dude thanks
❤❤❤❤❤ this is so cool. I'll see myself out.
awesome man

usually i use water to make ice but i loved this tutorial!
My beer needs some of those default ice cubes 🍺🤤
Very cool...
for those who can't find the "options"/"setting" to adjust the blend mode: go to material properties and scroll down. you'll see the setting tab.
Great stuff. Is this for Blender 3 only?
they need a node for transparent and translucent materials which can allow you to change the colour based on how close the material is to the centre of the object so you can have the middle of the ice cube more white and opaque Something like an ambient occlusion node but for distance from the object origin

You should suggest that to Blender community, it's a great idea. The community would definitely get behind that.

at 5:57 if i use a glass shader... Can i just do a noise connect to a normal map and plug the normal into the normal of the glass?
I was actually looking for this video!! You made it just on time! And one question, if transmission can get the transparent or translucent effect then what's the use of glass, transparent and translucent shaders???

Thanks Jr Joe, glad you enjoyed the video. It's all about speed. The computer has less to think about when rendering the transparent and translucent shader so it can speed your scene up, but it's negligible. The transparent shader is just for alpha transparency with no refraction. The translucent shader is the same as translucency in the BSDF shader but with all the other stuff stripped out. Hope that helps clear things up! -Chris

Thank for the great tutorial! Silly question, how do I get the HDRI you used to appear in the Cycles render? When rendering begins it simply doesn't show up in the background, do you know where I went wrong? [Edit] I should say that I know how to add an outside HDR using the environment texture under World Properties but Blender's own one has me stumped.

World opacity to 1 in the viewport shading
Man, if I had found you sooner I wouldn't have been as scared of Blender...
Thanks for the tut! I'd be curious what the best approach would be if you wanted to add little drops of water, like perspiration, coming off the ice cube. Can you do that all with the shader or would you need to use like GeoNodes?
@venacava7897

particle system might suffice
@cg_cookie
2 жыл бұрын
Like Vena said, a particle system would probably do the trick. Geo nodes would give you a lot of control as well. Just model the droplet as a separate object and instance it across the surface of your cube. (this might be a good tutorial as well! anyone else interested in it?) -Chris

How do I export this as a transparent image for use in photoshop?
Awesome tutorial, thank you. I went to render the ice cube scene in cycles but the viewport daytime background wasn’t a part of the render, does that need to be turned on in another setting? Perhaps the World settings?

How did you get the cursor so small
I took a " Render Image" but it's not coming same as the result. Why?? Can you please tell how to save as image jpg or png, exactly like the outcome.
I did this, and it looks great in blender, but the mesh loses all its shaders when I export it to an fbx and import into Unity … does anyone know a way of exporting this from blender to unity?
3:00 I'm using Blender 4.0, and my "principled" bsdf isn't structured that way. What should I do?
can you explain why we changed it to Alpha Hashed?
what is your specs?

I can export this blender to unity.???

When rendered in Eevee, the cube doen't cast its shadow on the plane in my environment. Please someone teach me why?

I figured it out myself. The reason was that I only used HDRI for lighting. When a light object was added to the scene, the cube started to cast shadow on the plane.
SO basically when i took off the world view my ice is still reflecting the world view and not my other objects in blender can anyone help
if only my pc could actualy handle it
@mortalkombat , i hope sub zero have ice like this..😅🙏🙏
hi this is input name,i was asked to do this so im going to fly through this like its not the 2nd video in a beginners series. good info but he went so fast i had to replay every part like three times to see what he did.
took me more then 1 hour lol
