Understanding Shading in FIVE Minutes (Blender)

Shading is one of those topics that can be incredibly confusing if you don't know how to approach it properly in the first place. This video will discuss everything you need to know about it in 5 minutes.

    The fact that triangles are always flat, and everything can be turned into triangles, is why graphics cards use triangles for everything. That said, everything is 100% correct here.

    @@valdoltra So Basically These guys always justifies using N-Gons and worst Topology advices, which Is not acceptable in Film/Animation workflow and even in Games , Their whole teaching is based inside Blender only and at high poly count with booleans things will obviously look good when you dont pass the model through different software packages and only single person job, While in reality if you work professionally you will be working in a team where your model passes through a whole pipeline to eventually render into a different software probably and you are not gonna have one single object in the scene, Now Imagine thousands of objects with worst topology ending up in a single scene, it will become a nightmare for the render engine.

    "triangles (3 sides) quads (4 sides) ngons (more than 4 sides)" and "I can only move 3 vertecies of triangle no matter which way I try to move them the triangle would never bend" Yeeah brilliant thank you very much for such a helpful information in nearly half of the video

    The shading on a bent face will always look like sets of triangles because everything is triangulated at render time in blender (most 3D software). This can be changed though with some loopholes (it's needed sometimes when working with very little topology).

    The root cause of the shading issue is the undesired normal direction on the manipulated vertex. Internally, all polygons are represented as triangles. The edges of these triangles are hidden from the user. The shading of each pixel on the screen or rendered image within these triangles is determined by its normal, which is interpolated from the three vertex normals of the triangle. When a polygon is "bent," the normal direction of the moved vertex is changed. This affects the pixel normals on the triangle and often leads to undesired shading effects. Most DCC tools don't offer easy-to-use normal editing functions. Manually aligning normals to achieve desired surface shading is also tedious. Therefore, it's best to be cautious with your modeling process.

    HEY JOSH!!...you realize sir that if one sits here with you, from the simple doughnut tutorial for absolute newbs all the way to today's video, One has pretty much saved about sixty to a hundred thousand dollars worth of education? You might want to think at this point on making a compilation into a book / master class series sir. Like your own book with accompanying media and exercise files that anyone can get for say a few hundred dollars. Seems like a good thing and step to take sir.
