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

➤ Grab your FREE copy of Press Start | Your first Blender Project - b3d.cgcookie.com/1vbH8m
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.

[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! 🧊

    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. :)

    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

    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.

    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
