I can certainly do that.

In short, it's math and masking.

I understand masking but you need a circle to mask, in the future how do I figure out which node or math function to use if I want to do something custom which is not available on TH-cam? How will I approach it? ( I'm bad at math lol)

@@technoober8352 Press CTRL+SHIFT+LMB on each node to get a preview of what it is doing (in shading view with viewport shading enabled). If you start at the left and work your way along, you can see what each node does to the previous nodes. In this case, the Voronoi Texture is creating "cells" with shading from black through grey to white. The math node (LESS THAN) is then calculating the values within each cell and if the colour value within a cell is less than 1 (white) then it will output a value of 0 (black). If the value is 1 (white) then it will output a value of 1 (white). This black and white output from the math node (LESS THAN) creates the white circles on a black background and is then used as a mask (FAC input) within a mix shader. The top BSDF input in the mix shader will use the black areas of the mask and the bottom BSDF input in the mix shader will use the white areas from the mask. Hope this helps.

If you watch my confetti tutorial, I provide one idea there.

In all honesty, I didn't think you could use a mix node because they are for combing nodes whereas the mix shader will take the output from bsdf nodes and mix.

I knew the noise texture had been removed but will be looking at alternatives when I update these for 4.2

Thank you!

What version of Blender are you using?

Thanks for sharing that. This changed in blender 4.

I tend not to use eevee in Blender 3 but hope to offer advice for future videos relating to blender 4.2

@@blenderbitesize it's fantastic for tires in cycles 4.2...eevee? Yikes 😆

Thanks for the kind feedback. I have taught various creative practices for a couple of decades so it was nice to hear it comes across well.

You're welcome

That would be a different process. I'll add it to the list of videos to do.

Lots of things in life could be easier, for sure.

Are you using the cycles render engine?

You're welcome

I think we've already resolved this via email.

Yes, thank you again!

@@GuillaumeTouillet You're welcome.

Change is inevitable, unfortunately. Much like new versions of Blender.

@@blenderbitesize lmaooo i have a old tv.. it even has those old tv lines sooo i'm happy that still has it

@@Antonwalnuts It is a very nostalgic thing in many ways. Waking up in the middle of the night and hearing/seeing it and realising TV shows had ended for the night - another thing that has changed. Also, the Poltergeist movie - would that even work without the static?!

@@scanncuttutorials true! i mean for me it's not really nostalgic it's more "yo this is pretty cool why'd they change it?"

You're welcome

Keep trying. Play with settings. Repeat.

You're welcome.

Not 100% sure I follow. If you're asking if you can mix a material with an emission shader for this method, then yes you likely could.

@@blenderbitesize how do you do that? For example I’m recreating the kitt’s voice box from knight rider, and in the original show when he talks it’s through a voice box that reacts to his voice. But I want to add a png file on top of that because it says ‘knight 2000’. So I want an emission as well as a png file

I see. You didn't mention the additional png in your previous message. That might need a different approach as it sounds like you're needing three things to be applied to your object. Whilst you can mix three things using this method you are essentially masking. You may need an alternate set up of nodes though so that the png has its original qualities but the other two textures mix. You'd also need to consider the voice animation which could be controlled by drivers linked to an audio file. Unless someone has done this before, you may need to piece this together from various other tutorials.

You're welcome.

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for the kind words. 🙏

Please keep in mind that I speed up the render when compiling these videos to save time. Generally though glass does tend to take a lot longer than other materials due to all of the calculations needed.

Sadly, I can't help upgrade the spec of your PC. Blender is quite heavy on the processor, especially when dealing with geometry and displacement.

@@blenderbitesize not help me upgrade lol ... if i don't earn a pc it isn't mine , what i wanted is something i can do so i can finish making the material, like decreasing the scale or something like that , just to make it consume less resources ... thanks ! :)

Well, it sounds like you have some ideas on how to solve your challenge. Trying those can't hurt.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm currently working my way through all shaders and creating new versions for v4. In the meantime, trying won't hurt anything.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I don't understand why it wouldn't work if you have done everything exactly. Perhaps try again and look to see if anything else is different.

@@blenderbitesize Ok, je vais essayer de le refaire et je vous en redonne des nouvelles, à bientôt!

Good luck.

Je pense que c'est parce que je n'ai pas fait le début: de mettre un plancher...? et j'aimerais savoir, s'il y a un tutoriel que vous avez fait pour les premières étapes du début? je suppose qu'on prend la mesh: Plan et ensuite...? vous courbez le plan pour avoir une scène? (j'en suis qu'au début de mon apprentissage) je connais les bases, mais encore beaucoup à apprendre, pour bien maîtriser. Merci de votre aide!

A floor doesn't have much to do with it but you do need an object for the fabric to collide with as I show in the early stages of the video. If you don't have an object for the fabric to collide with it will just drop down out of view.

You're welcome!

The material is intended to be 'mottled' and this may show more prominently if the scale differs. You might like to try adjusting this in your scene shader set up to see if that makes a difference. Please also keep in mind this was made with v3 so if you're using a later version, the setup/output may have changed slightly. Thanks for purchasing the material and good luck with finding a solution.

Thank you for the kind words.

High praise indeed, thank you!

You're welcome.

Thank you !

Most of my tutorials (unless it says in the title) were made with version 3. I'm currently updating them to version 4, which saw big changes to the principled bsdf nodes.

Thanks

Much appreciated

Thank you.

Yes, I'm afraid it has. I am working my way through creating new versions but time keeps running away with me.

@blenderbitesize no worries. I'll just buy it. Blender usually compensates automatically. Btw I'm absolutely loving your textures. They're just perfect for my projects and I'm learning a lot.

@@blenderbitesize update: works fine. Blender adds a fresnel node to compensate for the lack of an IOR setting in the subsurface scattering node.

@@Avaloran Perfect! Don't you just love Blender for that!

I don't think so although I rarely use Eevee so I could be wrong.

More are on the way. What detail are you needing?

Glad to have helped.

You're welcome.

I'm not 100% sure as a number of things go into a finished style including lighting, environment, render engine, contrast settings etc. One simple thing to try would be the hue/saturation node.

I think you already have your answer with texture painting. Try looking fir those tutorials, sadly I don't have one at the moment.

Now i got it. Texture painting is basically a mask for multiple materials😁

@@teflonczmotherboard4551 Exactly that.

Thank you.
