literally the best exeplanation I've ever found on youtube for nodes, THANK YOU!

Please help me out; I can't find Displacement so I couldn't change it to Displacement Only 5:20 . I am using 4.1. Also can I change the cracks color I want to make a black object and change cracks color to red

Thank you so much for this video. The method for creating the overlapping scales mask is super brilliant. It took me a while to understand what you did and I would never have figured it out for myself. Thanks

the downloaded link is dead

Insanely helpful. This was focused enough to be helpful to anyone trying to solve the problem in the title, but you also tricked me into understanding WHY your solution works, instead of just letting me copy your work. 10/10 tutorial. Thanks!

Excellent explanation, thank you very much. Why haven't you made more videos?, it's a pity because they are very good.

Does this still Work in 4.0?

Just found this. So grateful mike. I didn't go to school for 3D but ended up in this occupation with a full time job- and I so happy. Thank for this video!!

I have been looking for a video like this for a about 2 days. Thank you so much! A clear explanation of how functions/math work in the context of UVs in blender. This is very helpful. Based on this video I will now go through your series.

very well explained! love it. Keep it up!

I love you.

I love you.

I have a question! Is there a way to change the color of the cracks only? Working on a project and trying to do this cracked effect on a wall, but would like the cracks to be gold colored

This has come in very handy. I fed the first bit fo this in to some other kinds of noise to make a steel drain that looks as though its been turned on a lathe.

thanks for that, I was struggling when making a cookie on my own after following the famous donut tutorial and this helped me a lot ! <3

Is there any way to preview the procedural texture in the UV editor window? Surely this would be useful?

Thanks, I'll be using this!

Wowwww just what I was looking for!! Trying to make a cookie to learn blender and was racking my head on how to make nice cracks!!

@michaelsmit486 the link the blender file is no longer working -- can you re-post the tutorial blender file? Thanks!

@michaelsmit486 agree with "your tutorials are great and deserve more views!"

This is a totally under-appreciated Blender tutorial gem on procedural textures. And, more generally, it's a terrific primer for understanding Blender coordinate systems. Lots of revelations for those of us who didn't study computer graphics academically. First, Michael walks us through different coordinate systems available in Blender. Then he demonstrates how to manipulate these coordinate systems using math converters to achieve various tiling effects. Finally he injects the use of various built-in Blender noise-related texture generators to magnify the effects. What I really like here is that Michael is explaining WHY these techniques work. So many tutorials show you only HOW to use these techniques. @Michael I really hope you'll do the Blender community another huge favor sometime soon and create your next Blender series! Kudos!

Ok, this is fantastic, and I watched it several times, BUT... Can I take out the noise texture on the 'grains', and add another procedural texture, that has wood grain, and knots, and colors, etc? I can't figure out how to use this 'shape' and add other textures/colors/adjustments to it. I still love it BTW, I just want to take it to the next level 😎

Thankyou for one of the most useful shader tips ever

hmmmm, nothing's showing up. I must be doing something wrong

Quick question = how could you make the wood rings get together to the end (tree tip) ?

That was a pretty efficient way to simulate wood rings

Awesome, this is exactly what i needed! thanks a lot

Thank you!!! I was stuck exactly at this point and your video helped me a lot!

Yeeeeeah! I was searching for cooking reciepe and found this gem

Nooooo it doesnt work for stl😭

Man thats so awesome! This did help me soooo much, thank you!

Thanx

As far as the mapping node goes: The location is expressed in inches there, but does not translate proportionally to inches in the world space. I am trying to make a conveyor belt by moving the texture along X but it does not move as quickly as the object placed on the conveyor belt. Any thoughts? Scaling the texture in the UV editor has an effect but I want to create a nice workflow.

You've earned my respect these videos are excelsior

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you sm !

Trying to think how to apply this to things like barrels, which are cut then bent. If I apply the texture to each individual stave after it's bent, then it'll be as if the bent shape was carved out. Any suggestions?

Nice work! Looking forward for the next video on creating seamless natural wood.

I'll check the others

Really great tutorial 👍🏽

But the final doesnt export as a modified mesh.

Hey, im not new to blender but i am really amazed of how much i´ve learned from your video, just because you are describing things and how do they work. Good work, keep making these man!

Relly nice, well done :)

Thank you.

Thank you Michael for a very detailed and useful video.

Hi. Is it possible to have a few isolated lines, like a vase that's cracked but still intact? Thanks.

I'm not convinced that this is "the right way" to distort a texture. Noise texture outputs "random" values on [0,1] and you've shifted that to be [-0.5,-0.5]. You've then decided that what you want is a weighted average of these values with your coordinate values. Let N be your (shifted) noise values, X be your coordinates, and r be the ratio used in your weighted average. Your new coordinates become (1-r)*X + r*N. For r = 0, you have your undistorted coordinates. And for r = 1 you have pure noise. But for something like r = 0.5, you actually *are* scaling your coordinate system, something you claimed to want to avoid. This isn't a big deal with the texture in your example, but if you set the wave texture scale to something like 1 you would clearly see the scaling as you increase r. And you can in fact see that the wave texture effectively scales by a factor of 2 going from r = 0 to r = 0.5. The issue here is the use of a weighted average. That's not necessarily what we want when adding noise to a texture. Of course, what we want just depends on our desired results, but what follows is what I would consider "the right way." When adding noise to your coordinate system, what you want it to be doing is taking each point in your coordinate system and shifting it by some "random" amount. This looks like X + r*N. This operation can be achieved in a single node with a single Multiply Add from Vector Math. I'd argue that for r to reflect the scale of these coordinate perturbations, N should be on [-1,1], so you should scale by 2 and then subtract 1, rather than just subtracting 1. Really, the same results can be achieved in either setup by tweaking different values. But I think the way I described is much cleaner and is "the right way" if you don't want your textures scaling when you add noise.

You should show off your results a bit. Ideally with a nicely lit and rendered little animation, but at the very least with a larger capture of the viewport.

You the bomb dude

Incredible. Subbed to you. :)
