Literally me when i first knew nodes, feels like a deep deep ocean to learn it but it's really addicting when you get the look you want on your 3d stuffs
I've come to learn that nodes are your friend. When you find one that does something find another similar and try it out, stack 3 of the same node up and see what it does, put nodes in different inputs, it gets to be really fun lol
Oh, FINALLY - someone explains HOW - the process behind the action!! THANK YOU!! 99% of Blender tutorials just state: 'click this, click that' to make something and no one explains why should you choose particular node, what it actually does! Great explanation! Make more of these! :D
But what's up with the annoying intermissions? Maybe I'm boring. I'm here for the explanations. Alas, I like techno, but that's for when I'm on my bicycle. Allow me to recommend: th-cam.com/video/snsspPDdf-8/w-d-xo.html
This 9.5 minute video took me hours to get through because it gave me so much to play with here and there, which I feel really gave me hands-on learning. Good stuff
Is it too much if I say I almost cried along the video? I've never seen something so clearly explained and to make so much sense in such a short period of time... I'm blown away, really!
I have always hated geometry nodes because the way popular blender people (blender guru guy) used it they never really expand on the why they're using it. What they do, THIS ON THE OTHER HAND this is EXACTLY what I wanted! Simple straight to the point. And with an example!! That's visual. YOU DESERVE THE SUB.
WHAT?? Seriously, Chris on CG Cookie. This year just keeps getting better and better. I've been educating myself running about 10 tutorials a day. Been bucking for a better position at work. Should I get it, I have this guy to thank for it. Love the channel. Well done Chris
When mixing a noise texture into the vectors you should use Linear Light mix. This is because noise adds an average of grey all over, which moves the vectors by 0.5, Linear Light does the subtraction for you.
WOW ........ you just made such clarity with this video. Material Textures etc. have always been a steep learning curve and this has help considerably. Cheers Mate.
I spent 2 hours last night trying to force a downloaded texture to fit a situation it's not designed for, and in just a few minutes you showed me that I can just make a better suited texture myself. Thank you!

Wow, the algorithm really got it right this time! Was playing around with noise textures yesterday and I was a bit bummed that I never got the result I wanted. Turns out this video which was just randomly selected for me solved my issue in such a perfect way, thank you!
Well, I have to say, this was nothing out of the ordinary. This was special. In most node videos, I go to learn how to use nodes but instead I just get more scared of how difficult it is to use nodes. This one felt different and had the opposite impact. Well, thanks. I encourage you to continue making more of these. Many like me are suffering. Enlighten us with your knowledge. Good night!
Thank you sooo much....... Chris Bailey The delivery of the subject ♥, The Smoothness of the language ♥, The flow of the knowledge ♥ and the background music♪... CG COokies rockzzzz... ♥
I got more progress in the half hour(paused a bunch to try along) i spent watching your video than the last week trying to figure out texture nodes myself. Thank you!
This is a very good place to start with nodes. It shows you the most basic building blocks very clearly and doesn't waste much time. Thanks for making this.
This helps so much. Should be watched before any other proçedural node videos. I was struggling to keep up with some of those. Had I watched this one first, it would have made a huge diffrence. Thank you so much!
Brother, your videos are top-notch, really can't thank you enough! As a complete noob, Nodes always scared me a bit...your explanations and the way you provide solid information in bite-sized, easy-to-digest clips make me wanna jump in and tackle Nodes head-on! Keep on bro!
It was so important for me to understand what's going on with the nodes,and what's their logic. you explained all of it to me,thanks for making such an amazing tutorial!!!
Thank you so much for actually explain nodes, I seems like every other blender tutorial just shows you what nodes to use but never how or why to use them
Good lesson, 7:40, TIL, the bump, blues are low end of the texture values, the same controlled by bumps with the color ramp infront of it. You can make the bump apply to just reds if you want by using that color ramp infront of the bump node. Thank you.
I already had a pretty decent understanding of nodes but this pointed out some things that I never realized you could do, like the mapping manipulation
Wow I just started learning about materials in Blender. This should have been the first tutorial I watched. This really ties everything together. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Clear explanations of how each node works and can easily see the nodes your adding and how you're connecting them. The best tutorial I've come across for this type of thing.
Thanks, you just made me realise that i can do all the textures in blender procedurally too instead of needing additonal software like Substance Designer.
I loved the video! Would heavily suggest learning how the math nodes work - incredibly powerful. A bit more advanced, but I avoided it for a while and I regret not taking the plunge sooner.
@@Jasperrusk just search around on TH-cam, but specifically CGMatter and Default Cube do a lot of more node-y style stuff. The practical use of it and examples are what helped me!
First video i have seen that explains nodes so clearly. Thank you!
clearer than most for sure.
Woot, glad we're able to help out - Wes
CBF is my new favorite guru of Blender.
Completely agree
@@djC653 Aw shucks thanks :-)
This actually makes me curious instead of afraid of nodes. Thanks for that !!
Heck yes! - Wes

I also like the Musgrave Texture

My thoughts exactly.
Royal Sky LLC also did an in depth tutorial about shader but also much faster.
@@donflamingo795 I'll check it out thanks
Yeah, people don't understand that we want to learn. We want to understand the process and not just replicate exact copy of tutorial.
The video editing, the music and the explanation are top notch. Never felt this good watching a video.
Yay! That's encouraging to hear. Thanks for hanging with the Cookie.
yup, incredible
But what's up with the annoying intermissions? Maybe I'm boring. I'm here for the explanations. Alas, I like techno, but that's for when I'm on my bicycle.

A Blender tutorial or a network football game--? YOU be the judge! ;)
Absolutely horrible I don’t know how you stand it, unnecessary edits and the music is annoying
I'm fairly new to texture work in Blender; but I 100% agree that bump map is the GOAT
10 months into my Blender journey and I think I've used all of these in every single project so far. Also this editing is _F I R E_
Oh thank you I was wondering what the transitions were.
This 9.5 minute video took me hours to get through because it gave me so much to play with here and there, which I feel really gave me hands-on learning. Good stuff
Absolutely fantastic explanations! Thanks for making something that can be quite complex, super simple!
I really didn't expect you to be here :)
Is it too much if I say I almost cried along the video? I've never seen something so clearly explained and to make so much sense in such a short period of time... I'm blown away, really!
Thanks Marco, I'm chopping onions here as well in the Cookie kitchen - ❤️ - Wes
Us the people we want more of this new style videos 😍
We the cookie shall comply. 🍪

These are shader nodes, Not geometry nodes ;)
Each introduction was so cool with that great track, makes me so pumped up.
dude, the hype in the video just made me so excited going through this. I need more of these just for the hell of it
Man.....the video was a Banger. I'm absolute new to Blender but after watching this, I already feel like I can create anything.
As a media designer I really fukn like how amazing professional and high quality this tutorial was.
Take my subscription.

So far best channel I've found for blender, ♥️ the timestamps
Thank u sooo much I am 15 trying to learn to learn blender and this video taught me a lot thank u again ✨
Explaining nodes in small but in a unique way...superb, thanks

Wins the prize for most bad ass tutorial, also great for understanding nodes
without a doubt that the way you teach how nodes work its the most effective way to learn it. Thank you Chris!
ive struggled with nodes the most and this really helped. Thank you!
Happy it helped in some way. Happy Blending! - Wes
ur video actually made sense and was awesome !
I've already known how to use each of those nodes, but i've never seen anyone do something like that with them before! truly great work!
Texture coordinate node, Color ramp node, Noise texture node, Voroni texture node, Mix RGB node, Bump node... excellent info! Thanks for sharing!
That is the best introduction to shader nodes I have ever seen.
Agree with you
Transparent and Mix Shader nodes are my frequent used nodes too
Incredibly informative and very well edited!!
finally understood nodes.
extremely informative.
we need more tutorials like this
i love the way you edit your videos. it spice everything's up
Best explanation of nodes EVER! Please can you do more that cover the rest of the nodes?
Thank you sooo much....... Chris Bailey

Best video I’ve seen explaining nodes on blender ... 💯
Dude!!!! This is so awesome I had to watch TWICE!!
I got more progress in the half hour(paused a bunch to try along) i spent watching your video than the last week trying to figure out texture nodes myself. Thank you!
Wow, this is the best Blender tutorial video I've seen...
Definitely best tutorial about nodes
This is the first material tutorial that I've watched to the end, very informative
best video i have seen till now the tutorial, the editing, the thaught 🔥
everything was top notch 🙌🙌
please make more videos like this ❣️
Waoooo, this video is pure gold. This is how crash course should look like!
This is a very good place to start with nodes. It shows you the most basic building blocks very clearly and doesn't waste much time. Thanks for making this.
key tips makes massive improvement , you are the besssttt
I'm flashed by your quality and not only the blender parts, I mean the music, the crossings etc. GREAT!
This helps so much. Should be watched before any other proçedural node videos. I was struggling to keep up with some of those. Had I watched this one first, it would have made a huge diffrence. Thank you so much!
This is one of the coolest videos ever!
All in on Nodes now! Love the music and the breakdown of each node
Wo instant subscriber. The quality is just outstanding. Clear and to the point!
Best intro to material nodes on the web !
A very exciting approach to the nodes to start exploring them right away!
Usually Blender tutorials are a chore to watch. This was actually pretty dope, so cool! Thank you!
Now that.... was a presentation.
Im loving these cool neon tuts. Keep it up
I think you have mastered the art of the tutorial video. Every video I've watched has been top-notch.

you explained all of it to me,thanks for making such an amazing tutorial!!!
yes people should see these kind of videos and try things themselves, just pasting things without understanding is huge problem
CG Coookie Tons of Thanks....You are the best...Tons n Floods of Love for amazing tutorials always
This tutorial is actually amazing
These tutorials are amazing. Chris Bailey is amazing.
Finally taking that step and getting into the node editor… thanks for the video!
Oh damn, finally a tutorial that is actually fun to watch! Thanks a lot!
That's the first amazing nodes related tutorial: concise, meaningful, no selling the materials :D Thank you! So helpful to understand
This has absolutely solved my confusion about nodes! Thank you so much!
My #favnode is
1.voranoi texture
2. noise texture
3. Principal bsdf
Thank you so much for actually explain nodes, I seems like every other blender tutorial just shows you what nodes to use but never how or why to use them
Glad I rewatched. The MixRGB before texture nodes was the exact tip I needed. Cheers!
One of the best Blender Tourtorials!

This is the kind of shit that is pure gold. I said wow about 10x through this whole video. I'm gonna jump into Blender now and just play
dude what a great video. thank you.
Best blender video ever.
Wow I just started learning about materials in Blender. This should have been the first tutorial I watched. This really ties everything together. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. You really demystified nodes for me!! Thank you.
Please Please PLEASE....... Make more videos like this..... :)
This video inspires me.
This is a very cool montage, with it + 100% to the concept of node capabilities
Awesome man I was soo afraid of nodes initially. now I think I can learn this software.
so excited to use this with greasepencil! i literally only use blender for anything 2d, finally gaining courage to learn the 3d side
THAT WAS SICK! I can't wait to try this out!
Thanks so much for this. First time I really feel like I have an idea about what the nodes do.
Excellent tutorial. Clear explanations of how each node works and can easily see the nodes your adding and how you're connecting them. The best tutorial I've come across for this type of thing.
New videos looks so professional.❤️
at first when i saw the shader editor i was like "oh gosh this is too complicated", now im pretty confident with it
Thanks, you just made me realise that i can do all the textures in blender procedurally too instead of needing additonal software like Substance Designer.
Dude I really like these kind of videos. Don't stop doing the great work 👍
Amazing and dynamic tutorial , I enjoyed from explanation to music 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you for the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you just killed more than 50% of the time I would have spent learning something useless . Great video
Love the simplicity here, yet terrific end results. Just 6 nodes - quite cool. Great way to intro people to nodes.
I loved the video! Would heavily suggest learning how the math nodes work - incredibly powerful. A bit more advanced, but I avoided it for a while and I regret not taking the plunge sooner.
How would you suggest it learning it?

@@calumcooke1155 okay will do thank youu
Chris Bailey is the bomb!!!
This tutorial helped a lot. You made it very clear about texturing.
that background music though😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is by far the best explanation of nodes! Love it!!
Highly recommend the wave texture node too.
