You have no Idea how comprehensive you have turned ths thing into. But here is the right way to watch this series: watch the first video without trying to understand it too much, then move to the second video and watch it slowly, in the end come back to the first and watch it slowly then it all will click. But sir I cannot stress the fact that you have masticate it to a point the the undestanding is fantastic, you have made click in my brain. I studied this through a book but I was very confused, with you is now very clear almost perfectly clear beacuse the only thing to do is to practice. you have gained an admirer my friend.
Definitely the best initial tutorial of shading in blender. 30 minutes video contains the whole world, explained everything plainly and clearly with a clean voice.
Oh my god your style is PERFECT for me. I’m a pretty hyper person with a low attention span, and many of these tutorials scare me away bc I usually get bored fast and click off, but you explain everything you need to know at a great pace and cut right to the chase of each feature🙏
@@Brandon-3D It's true what he says. You are very clear and concise, and the material covered in your vids are useful. AND you don't waste my time with a lot of banter. I've watched about 10 of your vids now. I'm fixing to go like and comment on them all.
Great tutorial. Been modeling with blender for about 4 years and as of last night decided to finally overcome my fear of nodes and stuff like this has seriously helped. Going in depth while keeping it basic, without holding my hand is very nice.
Oh my god, this is the best tutorial ever made for this subject. I'm VERY new to Blender and have avoided these nodes since day one because they seemed so confusing. I always just applied my materials in Unity after I export the FBX because it "seemed" easier.
This is the first video I’ve seen where things make sense about the nodes coming from someone with little experience in blender. Before watching this it was guessing game based on quick, little to no explanation about much about them. This was a very helpful video for me, thanks for taking the time to make this 🍻
I am really hoping this tutorial helps beginners. Before you jump into “how to make this material” tutorials, I think an overview of the basics is good. Hope you enjoy and I love hearing your thoughts in the comments!
I've shopped around for tutorials, but this one is by FAR the cleanest, simple, straightforward I've seen yet. Easy to follow and your pacing helps to keep anyone watching engaged. Great tut!
After the bad news from Unreal Engine for 2024, I instantly searched for a nice tutorial about materials in Blender, glad I found yours. Great explanation!
i have watched of long videos, books and they were all explaining in details confusing the subject, here the best explanatory ready-to-use and grasp video.
LOL. That is very kind. Happy the video was helpful. I've started sending out extra little Blender tips every few weeks on my newsletter too if you wanted to sign up, you can here: brandonsdrawings.com/subscribe But thank you again for the kind words!
I have been using blender for quite awhile and having such a clean and comprehensive explanation of things I thought I already knew is incredible. I wish most blender breakdowns were like this. You've helped me so much! Thank you!
I know I’m only echoing the same sentiment here but this IS the best tutorial around for the basics! You move at a good speed to make it not boring, there’s no filler speak “uhs” & “ums”. Once again very clear and concise not fluff speak that has NOTHING to do with the video. And you described what should be learned before the next one without confusion. Just one thing though. You said the IOR is about reflection when it should be refraction. The angle at which light travels through a transparent object right. Great stuff can’t wait to see part 2 sniff start texturing! Thanks
Dude!...You rock man! This will come in so handy. I was mentioning just last week to a colleague that there must be some kind of a "Recipe Cookbook" where they explain what does what. Boooom! I found this today. Awesome! Thanks for doing this, Brandon. 🤘😎🤘
Another fantastic video, B. Thank you again. You explain things in great, helpful detail. Any chance you actually have your own site where you sell classes or give access to asking you questions directly? Looking through ten thousand videos to find a one click answer is getting downright discouraging. Thanks again.
best beginner friendly video on this topic I have ever seen. I don't know how to thank you enough your videos are explained in such easy way even a 12-year-old will be able understand it I am not a native English speaker, but your videos are far more understandable than all the other youtuber videos I have ever seen.
Appreciate the added depth to explaining the details. For example the clear description of the meaning of Socket Color. Been learning Blender for the last 10 weeks and just now learned this detail from you! And that example is just one of many. _Subscribed_ Thanks so much.
I havent started shading menues yet as i planned to learn layout and modeling well enough before i go furture menues but i wilp come back later and watch for more as like how its explained slowely. Loved the explanation
Now THIS is what I'm talking about! This is the tutorial we needed, very clear, takes the right time, explains the fundamental things that we can understand and extrapolate, amazing and I'm surely liking and subscribing as SUBTLY hinted in the video!
Your demo of how to create magics by using the nodes in this 3D tool literally made me tear at 18:25. This is an unforgettable moment for me as I usually do not cry, especially on the other half of the sphere of the earth, thousand miles away from you, during midnight, alone atm. While I'm impressed by the flexibility and a variety of possibilities this skill empowers me, I deeply feel the vibes of what a CG world has to offer and the connections in between. I really appreciate mentors like you who kindly endow normal people like me with a magic wand to unleash our creative minds the way we always dream about before we set our feet on this wonderland. Thank you for the explicit, direct to the point, and whole explanation of how to do it right. Immediately solved the issue on my project. Bless you.
as a beginner and new in 3D art, this video you made helps me a lot to learn about material texturing. Thank u for this. Can you be more sharing tips for beginner such as modelling, texturing, lighting or even animation or lighthing maybe?
can't think you enough for this tutorial, I always just used the default shader -principled bsdf and whenever i'd open nodes i'd be like wtf are these inputs and colored dots,etc. now I do understand where i have to start.
Thank you so much for these 2 part most detailed tutorial that made me understand the material making procedure so much easy in the most simple way, I also recommended and sent it to my newly started blender artists and they really appreciate your tutorial 🙏🙏
Thank you, and huge thanks to everyone on the Tubes that make tutorials like this that help lower the barrier of entry for newcomers to Blender. Y'all are awesome.
Enfin j'ai pus comprendre beaucoup de subtilité des textures nodes ....Merci beaucoup !!! Finally I was able to understand a lot of subtlety of the node textures .... Thank you lot !!!

Thank you, gracias, arigato gozaimasu! My fear of nodes and Cycles stopped me dead in my tracks years ago. This clear and well-organized explanation has helped me more than you know.
Awesome intro and review for anyone interested in Blender materials. Essential details, tips, & techniques. I wish I would have had this like 2 years ago. Much appreciated.
Dude, you explained more about material shading in < 1 hr than I learned in > 1 yr of watching videos that use nodes. So great to see all of this explained in 1 vid. This def going into my index, thanks!
Great video, thanks for making it. One suggestion though: review the click sound. This thing hits your soul for some reason, very sharp noise. Someone with better sound knowledge than myself might be able to point out the reason. Once again, thanks!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I see a lot of people doing tutorials on shading but they never explain the basics, they just show what it does. I am not a complete novice but I had to watch all this tutorial. Tutorials like this are a gem. you got your like and subscribe. ;) Thank you for the work!
LOL. Definitely not a God but I'm glad it was helpful. Sorry this took so long to reply to, I got a little overwhelmed with comments there. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
Awesome ressource! I'm not a beginner with nodes and have been doing VFX for a few years now, but I often look for good tutorials to reference to others. A little correction for the W input: It's not really an animation factor. It is the seed of the texture currently displayed (default is 0 even for 3D mode). Entering integer values will always result in a totally different pattern. However transitioning with a floating point, so displaying values in steps
Learn the "SUPER-BASICS", that shall be the true name of this tutorial. 😸Real good, educational content here; congrats for this magnificent Shading introduction content to Blender! Appropriate theoretical inputs here and there also, even though not the focus, this helps a lot; not just crude technical inputs.
I tried to learn the node system quite a few times but failed everytime . This video made my fear go away from blender nodes. To the point delivery of content and simple explanation with real evamples .just perfect ❤.
This is the most informative, educationally adept, and technically precise Blender tute I've ever seen. And I've watched, and subscribed to, and paid for a LOT. Maybe it's a learning style thing, but wow. THANK you. I maaaaay need to make a PDF version of this (including the anecdotal edits 😆).
Hi! Thank you for the kind words and, although I'm sure it can always be improved, I appreciate the feedback and that's what I was going for. Thank you so much for watching too! Part two is on its way.
Most of this stuff I've learned over time on my own, but recently I decided to get more serious instead of just dabbling... I really must say, this is one of the cleanest-presented tuts I've seen in a while. Defintely an awesome place to "get back to basics" 😁 I look forward to learning just how much I DON'T know in spite of what I THINK I know! 😅 Also... new sub! 👍
holy shit thank you so much! i'd been struggling with my older version of element but this one is perfect Thank you so much! I swear non of the other tutorials worked but this one did! ily
Ok, this is definitely the best basic node tutorial I've ever seen, even since Blender 2.7! It's really well explained, I'm finally understanding the basic concepts of working with nodes in Blender. Thanks a lot for this video!!
Hope this helped! Get more tips sent directly to you by signing up for my free Blender newsletter: brandonsdrawings.com/subscribe
Unfortunatelu it didn't help. Even after I enabled the addon, I can't get the viewer node visible. I have a blender 3.6
Magic texture is a bad name as real magic is using extra dimension being from hell call demons , yes atheism is a fraud and Jesus is real .

the irony of telling someone "you have no idea" regarding his being comprehensive 😀
@@cut-no-one4082 not at all. Beginners often don't learn quickly. A lot of it has to be dumbed down
I am probably going to be rewatching this multiple times
Finally somebody that explains how nodes work, rather than show how to do very specific materials
Hopefully this becomes the "Donut Tutorial"of material shading. Glad this got recommended to me.
Definitely the best initial tutorial of shading in blender. 30 minutes video contains the whole world, explained everything plainly and clearly with a clean voice.
Man, thank you so much for the kind words!! Very much appreciate the support!!
Oh my god your style is PERFECT for me. I’m a pretty hyper person with a low attention span, and many of these tutorials scare me away bc I usually get bored fast and click off, but you explain everything you need to know at a great pace and cut right to the chase of each feature🙏
honestly i have never seen any clear and understandable tutorial in whole youtube yet
thanks man for your effort and patience
That is so nice of you to say. Thank you for taking the time and it made my day hearing that it was helpful. Thank you!

Thank you!! So glad you liked it. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Means a lot. Take care!
Best blender tutorial of all time
That’s a HUGE compliment. 🙏 Thank you!!!
Ich stimme dir zu 100% zu. Super gutes Tutorial, besser als alles was ich bis jetzt gefunden habe. Sehr talentierter lehrer.
If you look around, I really dont think there is a better tutorial out there regarding texturing. Thank you so much for such great content for free.
Thank you! That is a huge compliment and it’s so much appreciated!!! Thank you!

Absolutely. Thank you very much.
U do NOT have to hope...It is doing exactly what it is intended for...Thanks so much...Im a lil new to blender and wow this vid is eye opening.
OMG THANK YOU! I'm watching this every morning till I learn them all
Haha! That is awesome, thank you very much for your support!!
The way you’ve structured this video is brilliant! Thanks man 🙏
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the kind words. Take care!
those people like u spent time for giving us a precious valuable content (FOR FREE) at least what I can say thank you so much
Thank you!!! 🙏
this is legit the most useful tutorial on nodes I have seen until now
That's very kind. Thank you for the positive feedback and taking the time to comment. Means a lot!
The most effective video tutorial I've ever seen. Clear and straight to the point.
Thank you. You are too kind!
After the bad news from Unreal Engine for 2024, I instantly searched for a nice tutorial about materials in Blender, glad I found yours. Great explanation!
I couldn't find a single video on YT explain this topic so well as this video. Still watching, great work!
I paused as you went along and did the steps myself and that helped a TON.
Really glad it helped! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate that. Take care!
i have watched of long videos, books and they were all explaining in details confusing the subject, here the best explanatory ready-to-use and grasp video.
That is great to hear, thank you!!
Yooooo where the hack was this video all along...this is the first shading video that actually explains what are nodes doing..thank you a lot
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS ON THE NET TO LEARN NODES
Goddd !! finally i found the best teacher for using shading.. you deserve it broyou are my life saver
LOL. That is very kind. Happy the video was helpful. I've started sending out extra little Blender tips every few weeks on my newsletter too if you wanted to sign up, you can here: brandonsdrawings.com/subscribe But thank you again for the kind words!
This tutorial moved me from a lost tourist to a mad materials scientist. Thanks!!!
Still helping - watched a second time to refresh. Best video found for laying a foundation for Material construction and editing. Thanks.
That is awesome to hear, thank you for the kind words and for watching! Take care!
Your tutorial took my breath away! Love it!
Haha! Thank you !!
18:07 My mind is blown. There were a lot of good tips, but this feels like magic.
I have been using blender for quite awhile and having such a clean and comprehensive explanation of things I thought I already knew is incredible. I wish most blender breakdowns were like this. You've helped me so much! Thank you!
Thanks man, that was really nice to hear. Glad it was helpful!
no BS and straight to the point. 15 minutes into the video and you earned a new subscriber. Thanks a lot man!
Thank you so much. My college professors really are just half assing their way through teaching us Blender. This is extremely helpful!
This guy is the best teacher I have ever known
Wow, I am humbled. Thank you!
By far the best and most clear explanation of material shading in Blender!
Thank you! Very kind of you to take the time to comment and it’s totally appreciated!! Thanks!
I know I’m only echoing the same sentiment here but this IS the best tutorial around for the basics! You move at a good speed to make it not boring, there’s no filler speak “uhs” & “ums”. Once again very clear and concise not fluff speak that has NOTHING to do with the video. And you described what should be learned before the next one without confusion. Just one thing though. You said the IOR is about reflection when it should be refraction. The angle at which light travels through a transparent object right. Great stuff can’t wait to see part 2 sniff start texturing!

I have really looked around, and no one explains texturing the way you do. Thanks so much Brandon!!
Dude!...You rock man!
This will come in so handy.
I was mentioning just last week to a colleague that there must be some kind of a "Recipe Cookbook" where they explain what does what.
Boooom! I found this today.
Awesome!
Thanks for doing this, Brandon.
🤘😎🤘
Another fantastic video, B. Thank you again. You explain things in great, helpful detail. Any chance you actually have your own site where you sell classes or give access to asking you questions directly? Looking through ten thousand videos to find a one click answer is getting downright discouraging. Thanks again.
Now it’s so much easier for me to understand the shader editor this is a top-tier way of explaining, Thank you sir 🤝🏾

You have beautifully explained very difficult material for most to comprehend.

Fantastic tutorial. Very well presented and taught. Than you!
Wow information dense tutorial! I will have to watch this one like 20x to get everything out of it
Thank you man, your voice is crystal clear and the pace is perfect. Waiting for part 2 and some awesome procedural material tutorials!
Hi! Thank you for the kind words and, although I'm sure it can always be improved, I appreciate the feedback and that's what I was going for. Thank you so much for watching too! Part two is on its way.
Hey there! Part 2 was just published this morning...a day ahead of schedule!
@@Brandon-3D already watched it man. I prefer procedural material as PBR one cost too much GPU memory with several good looking 4K textures.
@@phamthaiduy7435 awesome, yeah they drain it for sure. Take care and thank you!
Most of this stuff I've learned over time on my own, but recently I decided to get more serious instead of just dabbling... I really must say, this is one of the cleanest-presented tuts I've seen in a while. Defintely an awesome place to "get back to basics" 😁
I look forward to learning just how much I DON'T know in spite of what I THINK I know! 😅
Also... new sub! 👍
Thank you! Really appreciate that and you taking the time to leave a note. Thank you!
holy shit thank you so much! i'd been struggling with my older version of element but this one is perfect Thank you so much! I swear non of the other tutorials worked but this one did! ily
Wow, learned some stuff I maybe didn’t understand before. Thanks for the concise explanation.
Ok, this is definitely the best basic node tutorial I've ever seen, even since Blender 2.7! It's really well explained, I'm finally understanding the basic concepts of working with nodes in Blender. Thanks a lot for this video!!
