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
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
@@cg_cookie Bump makes pictures/textures 3D?????????
I also like the Musgrave Texture
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
My thoughts exactly.
Royal Sky LLC also did an in depth tutorial about shader but also much faster.
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
Absolutely fantastic explanations! Thanks for making something that can be quite complex, super simple!
I really didn't expect you to be here :)
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.
I'm fairly new to texture work in Blender; but I 100% agree that bump map is the GOAT
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
Us the people we want more of this new style videos 😍
We the cookie shall comply. 🍪
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.
Thank u sooo much I am 15 trying to learn to learn blender and this video taught me a lot thank u again ✨
So far best channel I've found for blender, ♥️ the timestamps
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.
These are shader nodes, Not geometry nodes ;)
Each introduction was so cool with that great track, makes me so pumped up.
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
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!
had been working extensively on blender since last 2 months in a production and i can say, we are in sync. exactly the nodes i used most often. use of mixing rgb for placement variation was really clever and helpful, thanks for that tip. cheers
Love the simplicity here, yet terrific end results. Just 6 nodes - quite cool. Great way to intro people to nodes.
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.
without a doubt that the way you teach how nodes work its the most effective way to learn it. Thank you Chris!
Simply the best tutorial in its class. Well strategized and delivered. Plus, simply fantastic audio. Thank you very much.
finally understood nodes.
extremely informative.
we need more tutorials like this
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!
10/10 Video. Great explanations and examples, all of them easy to follow and it gives a very clear idea of what you can get out of the box just with a few nodes, not needing gigantic and overcomplicated graphs. I definitely want to see more of this. Thanks for the positivity and energy!
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
Oh my god this makes everything I've watched before make sense now! Just amazing work explaining things. The visuals and direct feedback of what you're doing as you're explaining it, made it click instantly for me
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!
Waoooo, this video is pure gold. This is how crash course should look like!
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!
Man.....the video was a Banger. I'm absolute new to Blender but after watching this, I already feel like I can create anything.
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 has absolutely solved my confusion about nodes! Thank you so much!
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!
This is one of the coolest videos ever!
Thank you for the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you just killed more than 50% of the time I would have spent learning something useless . Great video
Incredibly informative and very well edited!!
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!!!
An amazing blend of content and music. Makes it feel epic.
Well done, and thank you.
You can also make some amazing stuff with wave texture for a lot of stuff. I'm always making wood material with waves and noises mixed in with the uvs.
that background music though😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
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.
Great video. These are so powerful... I think this video deserves a sequel explaining more nodes with examples as you did here.
Explaining nodes in small but in a unique way...superb, thanks
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
Thank you so much for explaining simplistic way to nodes...
All in on Nodes now! Love the music and the breakdown of each node
That's the first amazing nodes related tutorial: concise, meaningful, no selling the materials :D Thank you! So helpful to understand
I’m glad that I learned so much from this video! As a beginner it’s just nice to see this and examples so that way I can finally understand how these nodes work together
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...is Exactly what I needed to wrap my head around this subject. Love this style of video which is like your other one where you model a marker. Please do another Nodes video on different ones from this one and maybe glass. Cheers and thank you again.
Best intro to material nodes on the web !
I love the vibes of your video as well as the tutorial styles...you keep it more simple and not too much complicated thanks for this..
I'm flashed by your quality and not only the blender parts, I mean the music, the crossings etc. GREAT!
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
This is the video explanation Ive been looking for! Thanks for explaining so clearly what each of the nodes does and showing the effects in action
Im loving these cool neon tuts. Keep it up
A very exciting approach to the nodes to start exploring them right away!
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 the best video for material. Thank you! CG Cookie.
CG Coookie Tons of Thanks....You are the best...Tons n Floods of Love for amazing tutorials always
This was wonderful! I wish other videos I've watched did this that awesomely.
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
What a fantastic video! Makes me want to dig further into mastering the nodes.
This tutorial helped a lot. You made it very clear about texturing.
Wo instant subscriber. The quality is just outstanding. Clear and to the point!
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!
Thanks so much for this. First time I really feel like I have an idea about what the nodes do.
As a media designer I really fukn like how amazing professional and high quality this tutorial was.
Take my subscription.
This is excellent, very concise and hugely helpful.
This is by far the best explanation of nodes! Love it!!
Please Please PLEASE....... Make more videos like this..... :)
This video inspires me.
This is one of the most informative and epic tutorial for blender I’ve seen, great job
Nailed it... absolutely agree with these picks..
Best video ever
It's quick, well thought, educational and montage is amazing. Also I usually hate bg music in tutorials but here it was used very wisely. Excellent work.
Thank you for this helpful video - I knew some of the nodes but you explained their functions and uses extremely well - Much appreciated!
Your explanation make learning fun, thank you and God bless 🙏🏻
seriously i love this it make me so much understable the shader nodes editor that i begin to make fun with it especially the bump node thank you so much CG Cookie
THAT WAS SICK! I can't wait to try this out!
Such a well made video! I think I was most impressed with the video itself keeping me pumped and interested the whole time
Dude. Thank you! You change my life in blender
Clear, concise and fascinating - I can't wait to play around with all these!
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... ♥
Thanks. Good explanations. I learned a lot. Keep them coming !
AWESOME TUTORIAL. Thank you so much!
Glad I rewatched. The MixRGB before texture nodes was the exact tip I needed. Cheers!
I think you have mastered the art of the tutorial video. Every video I've watched has been top-notch.
So happy to find this, excellent value delivered under 10 minutes!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much. This helped a lot with understanding nodes and how to think about them.
This is a very cool montage, with it + 100% to the concept of node capabilities
One of the best tutorials I've seen on nodes. Makes me want to experiment right now :)
at first when i saw the shader editor i was like "oh gosh this is too complicated", now im pretty confident with it
Easy to understand🙂, I usually go with PBSDF and textures. Thank you!
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.
Awesome, I will apply this of course. Thanks!
This tutorial is actually amazing
Wow SUPER HELPFUL I CAN"T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Very well delivered. Thanks for sharing 😊
HE SAID HE WILL SHOW US SUBSURFACE IN A MOMENT AND HE DIDNT! I WANT MY SUBSURFACE RIGHTNOW.
Me too. I was waiting for that.
It's also pretty odd to completely ignore than Many many materials are transparent, and he didn't touch on that either.
I think subsurface just allows for .. kinda a gradient reflection which you can set to a different color. So like its shiny and ones side is blue why the other edge looks pink. (if you set it to blue and pink) Least thats what i saw when I messed around in blender a bit.
@@L33T_Taco There is a lot more to it than that, and you should probably look that up before commenting what you Think it does. subsurface, or SSS (SubSurface Scattering) is an advanced shader model that simulates light scattering and absorption. You can assign multiple colors, so for something like skin, the surface is your skin color, but the color inside is red. So if you shine a light at a thin part, it turns more red. You can also use it with the same color to get the look of a volumetric shader without having to go full volumetric. So you can get the look of milky plastics, orange juice, milk, etc. This is one of the materials that is Really difficult to control if you ignored real-world scale when modeling.
Yeah what he said ^^^^
I loved this style.
Now that.... was a presentation.
Oh damn, finally a tutorial that is actually fun to watch! Thanks a lot!
