Hi, thanks for great video, you are REALLY giving me insights into textures. I tried something else for the bolts that seems to work well. Instead of the RGB node, I just set up the emmission color to pure white and made sure emission strength is 100%. Of course if you have some materials with emission already set, one would need to turn those off. So RGB is better, but sometimes the emmission could be quicker if appropriate.

Hey Ryan, thanks for a great Tutorial again! 1 thing that you can do for the metallic bake is to use the emission slider in the princ bsdf, instead of using the viewer node + rgb node, as the updated node wrangler addon-on doesn't have the viewer node any more.

I wonder how i can export the fog correctly?

Hey Ryan really appreciate your tutorials. But if I could make one suggestion. Ctl. + Shift + LMB Click no longer launches a viewer node in the shading editor. You use this technique allot for metallic, displacement etc. Could you maybe address this at least in future tutorials if not in the old ones. As a newbie it took me awhile to understand that I could just use an Emission node. Again really appreciate your tutorials.

In the new Blender update they removed the viewer node from the Node Wrangler, but the node wrangler still works exactly the same.

great video :) . I got a question, if the viewer is actually an emission, can we just use the actual emission and plug the values or texture? since its the emit that will be baked? or it will give a different outcome?

TIP: When you have to "Turn off" the metallic value (or any value) and plug it into the Emission slot, you could just have a Value node plugged into the metallic. If the metallic reads "0.500", then you just type in .5 into the Value node and plug it into the emission.

Would you need a different process for glossy textures or see though ones like Glass and liquids?

Hello, 3D object background:. We used 836 hi res still images in meshroom to create a high poly 3D room, meshroom produced 12 texture files. We import model in to Blender 3.6.0,, at video time 6:15, we use 1001 as first texture, we create image texture node. At video time 8:12, we select smart UV projection we use ADD option, we tried all 3 (scalar and fraction), in 3.6 we cannot select 0.0005, we leave it at 0.001.Then when we view the UV editor (video 8:51)OUR UV map shows overlap in various places, most likely due to meshroom output, in your UV unwrap tutorial, we would need to do a manual fix for 20+ hours to fix islands in UV overlaps, is there another way to edit out overlaps? we also see you have motion blur selected, we DO NOT select it. Help with this is appreciated. Thanks much!

A great video. This video took about 30 minutes to bake the textures for this one wheel. Blender or someone needs to make this a one click process because it just a lot of busy work.

@RyanKingArt

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your Super Thanks! Yes, this same method will work when using a Mix Shader, mixing two shaders together. However, this becomes a bit more complex when both of the shaders are using different metallic values. It works fine when baking the Normal, Roughness, and Color, but because you have to use the Node wrangler to preview map. Also, another easy work around, would be to use a Baking Blender addon, Like Quick Baker. I have an affiliate link and a tutorial on how to use the Quick Baker addon. And that addon will basically do all of this for you. Hope this helps!

After watching your last video about baking texture of greenish dragon... I was waiting for this video which involves multiple texture.... I just have 1 query now

Hey Ryan! Big fan! Quick question. I have a high poly model made of lots of different intricate parts with different materials and i have retopologized all the parts. So what is the best workflow for turning this all into a single game object with a single diffuse map? (focusing specifically on just making the color map work rn and will work on the other maps after i tackle this obstacle). Long Live The King edit: i figured it out i have to bake each high poly piece individually to the corresponding low poly piece but all on to the same texture map.
