I don't understand what picture did you use for the environment texture ?
It was exactly this HDR Texture:
polyhaven.com/a/studio_small_09
The way you broke down how light/color interacts with actual diamonds was insane. 10/10 tutorial
Thank you very much!
a tutorial of somn so advanced that isnt 45 mins long and easily explained?! i must congratulate you, sir!
Thank you very much, doing my best
Great job, simple and efficient !
Brilliant tut here, and well explained, thanks a lot!
Thanks for explaining what each node does and including the world option in this.
No problem ;)
Also: I find it kind of amazing how Blender is programmed so well, that you were able to create the shader by "simply" plugging in the actual physics.
Well - looking simple, when you know how to do it :)
Yes, node based programming is truely a blessing for artists.
For even better results, use more than three colours, using the wavelength node to give a spread of wavelengths.
where to put it?
Please can you elaborate more?
Beautiful texture
A very good and relatively easy explanation of how to make a diamond shader!
Thanks!
First time physics class helped something make sense. Love it thanks!
Woah, the first one that works for me! Thank You!!! I tried to do diamond shading for ageeesssssss
There's a simpler 'Default Cube' tutorial that does the RGB trick but this really looks better and renders faster too - many thanks!
Masterful. Thanks man, really appreciated.
Thanks!
Hello
With the good light and environnement, this is the BEST shader ever seen !
Thanks a lot, I've been looking for that since a long time
Thank you very much!
great tutorial. good pace and good explanations. you deserve much more subscribers for that quality
Thank you, very kind.
I've came to late, but this one is the best diamond shader tuts
Thank you
wow, tysm! this is so awesome 💎
Thanks!
Nice one. Thank you
have fun shining bright like a diamond 😂😂
song of rihana, right 😂
Iced ❤ thanks bro
Thank You!!
very impressive
THANKS BRO !! THIS IS GOLD !!!
In fact, it is diamond, but thank you very much :)
@@PointCloud hahahaha :)
Amazing tutorial
Thank you very much.
Thank you
This is the best tutorial all of time
Thank you very much
@@PointCloud I subbed to your channel for life. Please make more tutorials
Useful guide. I would like to see something similar for eevee
Not possible, because you have to use raytracing for this realistic lighting :)
I seriously think tutorials can't get much better than yours.
A typical Point Cloud tutorial:
Crystal clear.
Not a word too much, not a word too little.
Cutting edge. Making use of best, and often most recent, Blender features to do the job.
Highly original stuff that I haven't seen anywhere else (before people will start copying you).
And, maybe most importantly: Techniques that aren't just a nice trick, but provide extremely useful methods, "rendering superpowers". (Well - relative to my interests, admittedly this point is a little subjective.)
Is diamond rating a thing?
Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
Yes, I produce my tutorials in a way I as a Blender user would enjoy to watch, precise and efficient.
thank you very mych
your just earned a subscribe 😇😇😇😇
Thank you ;)
great！！
Thank you for the tutorial! Which blend mode did you use in the material settings? I'd had trouble viewing the refractions in the material until I changed the mode to Alpha Hashed, but it still looked quite different from yours. When using the same hdri you used, the diamond just turned fully white and opaque (nothing changed in the settings). I am using blender version 3.3, can it be an internal bug or do you have any other ideas why it's not working?
Thank you.
I used Cycles, not EEVEE. I think that's the main reason why your diamond looks different from mine.
Ist nicht ganz was ich suche, aber super verständlich erklärt.
Danke ;)
Amazing Tutorial!!!
!Thanks!!!!
Thank you for watching ;)
love😍
Ideally, you'd want to set the colors to the three peak colors that typical cones in human eyes would see rather than pure red, green, and blue.
Great tutorial! I'm wondering if this can be recreated using an aiStandardSurface in Maya? Any help appreciated.
I'm sure, but how I don't know how exactly.
Do you think it would be possible to create an image like the one you show at 0:41 in blender?
Sure, it's easily possible ^^
I apologize, I am relatively new to Blender, but I am trying figure out how to get the photo studio HDR that you put inside of the environment node, please help!
You just create an environment texture node in the "World" shader and click on "open" in the node, then you select the image on your computer. 0:20
Hello, Is there a way to increase the overall opacity of your/this shader and brighten it overall?
You could either increase just the world light intensity, since this reflects that light it will get brighter.
Or you could overshoot the value of the white glass shader, if you click in the white color slot, there is a "V" for value, increase it over 1.0 and it will get brighter too.
Great tutorial! i did everything but.. i dont know why mine doesnt shine like yours, its more like a mirror of the enviroment texture, theres no transparency like yours am i doing something wrong?
hm, are you in cycles?
And is your transmission value correct?
i want to use this diamond in my other blend file. cause it uses hdri. and when i append this to my other blend file than all reflections are gone cause it now uses my dark sky hdri. But this is my background scene i cannot change it. So how did i get it that it look this in other file
No, problem. You just have to define another "surrounding" for your diamond.
You have your HDRI surrounding for the camera, and you need another HDRI surrounding for your diamond to reflect.
Coincidentally I just created a video about exactly this topic^^
Just take a look and you can fix your problem:
th-cam.com/video/9JEhUDlMt5Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi, If I where to import this along with the material to unity , will this shader show up in game?
No, you would have to build this shader in the unity engine
What photo did you use in the environment texture?, im stuck right there
See the pinned comment.
where do you get the pictrue you added in the world texture
Polyhaven, there you can get a lot of HDRIs.
amazing vid ! thanks a lot. But big question : is it possible to exporte this 3d in .fbx, wich keeo the transprent texture ? if yes,, how ?
Thanks.
Short answer: No.
Since this is a material which is shaded by the Cycles Engine inside of Blender, you cannot export this material.
Only possible solution would be to export a semi-transparent video (PNG image sequence) and try to sneak it into other footage.
@@PointCloud thank you so much for answering this quickly 🙏🏻☺️
So clever. I don't know how you understand those nodes so well. Do you have to use nodes to create this?
Thanks, yes you have to use the shading nodes for that.
@@PointCloud Can you fill that with red fluid? Or would it destroy the reflections? Thinking about a crystal love heart.
That should be no problem.
@@PointCloud I got an issue. I am trying to completely fill a loveheart mesh with liquid, but it leaks out despite using a Solidify on it. I am extremely new to this, and just about to try again using another mesh object, or just making a hole in it. Your crystal effect is amazing though, and it would be great to have a crystal heart, but none are available to download. Any advice please? Your tutorial is very short, so I might try to crystallize the loveheart, but I have no confidence.
:30 when u open image were do we get that ?
Look at the pinned comment.
Thank u sooo much for sharing ur knowledges with us!! Can I ask your help please?: why I can not see "Add" and "Substract" Nodes in Blender? I have 3.5 Version. Do I need install something in the program in order to see those nodes? Maybe some addons? I hope u can see my message, thanks for everything!
Thank you.
These are "Math" nodes, which you can set to several mathmatical operations.
@@PointCloud How can I find them in Blender 3.5? I can not see them when I am working with nodes. Thank you!
You just add a node with Shift+A or click "Add" at the top. Then you just search for "Math".
In the node itself you can then change the operation.
Thx for the tutorial, does this work in Eevee
No, not like this. Eevee has no raytracing like Cycles, and that's what you need for that diamond.
Can u plz make a video how to make a diamond pentant necklace
Hm, that would be basically only modelling.
@@PointCloud I really want to Learn I made my chain I export it when I open it it’s not shiny when I open the saved export file
Just wondering why when i add the image texture my diamond and whole environment turn into image texture i followed everything tho
I disabled the background in my project, that's why no environment is shown there.
And maybe your mesh is set to "shade smooth"? Then it would reflect the environment more visibly.
can i bake this so i can use this as glb ?
Unfortunately you can't bake these reflections into a simple texture.
what did u use for your hdr?
I pinned the answer in the top comment.
if i want to add this diamond shaded object in another 3d software, how to bake it its textures
Since this isn't a texture, but a in-engine material, thats not possible 🫤
@@PointCloud then how to make it work in another 3d studio if we want
0:25 load HDR image environment texture node. How Do I select HDR image?
Just click on "Open" and select an image from your computer.
hmn , we i do it.. i get only green and purple light spots from this shader, so noo multi color shining
Hm, hard to tell from this.
Maybe a wrong dispersion?
where did u get the pic for the world enviornment texture??
Polyhaven.com
There are a lot free HDR images you can use.
@@PointCloud thank you !
Wait so, is this possible in Eevee rendering or only cycles? 'Cause Eevee doesn't like alpha and transparencies...
Eevee has alpha and transparency (material properties), but this reflection can only be achieved in cycles.
@@PointCloud I see. Thanks 👍
Can color be applied to the object on top of all these modifications? let's say I want a red diamond
Sure, I'd say the easierst method would be to change the white Glass BSDF to red for example.
@@PointCloud Doesn't seem to work. Im guessing it might be because the object is transparent? Would saving the colored object's image as .png store the data about diamond rules at all? May be a dumb question cus I feel like it wont. Thank you for your fast reply
Hm, it should work perfectly fine.
And no, a PNG only saves the pixel data (RGBA) and nothing else.
Thank you for sharing this. I followed each step, but my diamond has strong purple color into it. I did change the HDRi and everything but still the diamonds look purple faceted. Please help
Purple Color means, that something is wrong with your texture. Check if Blender reads that hdr correctly, maybe change the format if it does not.
@@PointCloud Your advice helped. Thanks man. Can you tell me how can I get the Blueish facets in the diamond instead of black and grey monochromatic diamond. I want My diamond to standout and look illuminating. Thanks in advance.
@@gunzroses1713 We already talked over Instagram. I hope it worked out.
I did all this and now no matter what i do i can't export it to Unity. It goes there, but without any of the details this video worked so hard for.
This can't be exported to another engine looking like this.
What's the lighting mine only shows the effect when viewed from under the object
You can see the lighting at about 0:13
Just a bit light from above as sunlight.
And the world this HDR Sphere: polyhaven.com/a/photo_studio_01
@@PointCloud wow your fast thanks
@@KBforJesusChrist 👍
How do u export it I added an image texture but when I adjust the metallic and roughness it doesn’t save the metallic and roughness only the image texture plz help
You can't export a complex shader like this. You could bake it as a single texture, but then it's just an image.
@@PointCloud I’m trynna make a custom chain any tips how to make it shine since I can’t export this
Also do u know why when I export some projects when I export it it comes out blank like a white circle ugh
Can i get you HDR please ?? Bcs i found couple HDR's but the diamond effect looking not transparent when i followed everything you did !
It is already in some comments here^^: polyhaven.com/a/studio_small_09
@@PointCloud thanks, but somthing is wrong my diamond is like this weird colour and not transparent.
Hm, hard to tell without seeing it. Have you used cycles?
@@PointCloud Yes, if you have instagram or something i could send you a photo .
Sure: pointcloud_tutorials
Hi bro. You can you make holographic shader?
Would be no problem, but I am not sure if there aren't enough hologram shader tutorials on TH-cam already^^
th-cam.com/video/gRztKZlDWBA/w-d-xo.html
I did the Hologramm shader tutorial in a video now.
A Link to the hdr image would be nice or a hint how to load or install the image
so that beginners can follow to
It was this texture: polyhaven.com/a/studio_small_09
You can just download it and select it after you clicked the "Open" button in the Environment Texture node.
No install needed, it's just an image, which you select at the source.
@@PointCloud Thank you very much brother, that helped a lot
Can i bake it?
Not really unfortunately.
You can bake an animated texture in exactly the same camera angle, but I guess that's it.
The shader only works in material preview. In rendered, the whole thing would be gray especially the mesh that is attached by the diamond. Any advices ples? hehe. For some reason, it doesn't glow like it :)
Hm, do you use the same hdr sphere for preview and render?
@@PointCloud i used iso sphere as mesh. But I used it as a material for like 6 objects so 2 of it is iso sphere while the other 4 are triangles. Is this the answer you're looking for? :)
@@PointCloud and btw it's on eevee not on cycles if that matters. Idk what hdr sphere is yet hehe. I'm pretty much of a beginner. It's at least on default.
Ah okay, so you have to use cycles for that diamond shader.
And an hdr sphere is basically an image of the surrounding world (which is a giant sphere around your scene).
Because this is a highly reflective shader this surrounding image is quite important for the look.
@@PointCloud oke ty
Does it work in Cycles mode?
Only in Cycles.
@@PointCloud , good thank youu
Please take time to tell the name of your values when you add, we often have to pause and try to read
What do you mean, you can't read the slider values at 1440p?
Where is the "shader editor"? I don't have one :/
Is it not in the list, when you click on the little icon in the top left corner of a window?
@@PointCloud That was fast.....thanks, I found it...sorry bro, I'm still a noob 😅
can you please provide a python code for this material
Is there an easy way to export a shader as py?
Mine is just plain white still unfortunately :(
Rendered in Cycles?
@@PointCloud Actually I'm seeing it worked correctly now. It was just a matter of what hdri I picked. I was hoping to do a black background with my object still light and illuminated in front of it, I'll just have to play around with different backgrounds and lighting I guess. Thanks!
@@damann6470 I did a video on that topic, maybe it can help you.
th-cam.com/video/9JEhUDlMt5Q/w-d-xo.html
Hey my texture isn't coming out transparent? Any help anyone?
What do you mean with texture?
Here is no texture involved, thats a shader.
@PointCloud right that's what I mean my diamond looks opaque and not transparent
maybe too low transmission or too high rougness on the material?
where is the shader?
What do you mean with "where"?
@@PointCloud the texture for the environment?
See the pinned top comment.
Diamonds don't shine the refract light
Definately arguable :D
How does one even discover how this stuff works??? It's like finding dinosaur bones wtf how
Well it starts with a thought :D
Then with physics and math you can reproduce the idea in the render engine.
But of course you have to know a couple things to do this.
@@PointCloud I bow to you master. The world needs you.
Haha thank you very much
das ist sooo deutsch
