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
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.
Us the people we want more of this new style videos 😍
We the cookie shall comply. 🍪
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 ^^^^
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 ;)
Absolutely fantastic explanations! Thanks for making something that can be quite complex, super simple!
I really didn't expect you to be here :)
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
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.
Each introduction was so cool with that great track, makes me so pumped up.
Thank u sooo much I am 15 trying to learn to learn blender and this video taught me a lot thank u again ✨
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
finally understood nodes.
extremely informative.
we need more tutorials like this
Love the simplicity here, yet terrific end results. Just 6 nodes - quite cool. Great way to intro people to nodes.
Simply the best tutorial in its class. Well strategized and delivered. Plus, simply fantastic audio. Thank you very much.
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
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!
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.
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.
at first when i saw the shader editor i was like "oh gosh this is too complicated", now im pretty confident with it
Great video. These are so powerful... I think this video deserves a sequel explaining more nodes with examples as you did here.
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
Im loving these cool neon tuts. Keep it up
This was wonderful! I wish other videos I've watched did this that awesomely.
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
CG Coookie Tons of Thanks....You are the best...Tons n Floods of Love for amazing tutorials always
A very exciting approach to the nodes to start exploring them right away!
What a fantastic video! Makes me want to dig further into mastering the nodes.
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.
This has absolutely solved my confusion about nodes! Thank you so much!
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!
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
without a doubt that the way you teach how nodes work its the most effective way to learn it. Thank you Chris!
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..
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.
That's the first amazing nodes related tutorial: concise, meaningful, no selling the materials :D Thank you! So helpful to understand
Such a great job Chris! I hadn't seen any of your tutorials before, but am going to your channel and watch some now. If they are even half as well done as this one, I'll be happy I checked them out.
As a media designer I really fukn like how amazing professional and high quality this tutorial was.
Take my subscription.
This is one of the most informative and epic tutorial for blender I’ve seen, great job
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
Best explanation of nodes EVER! Please can you do more that cover the rest of the nodes?
This tutorial helped a lot. You made it very clear about texturing.
Thank you for this helpful video - I knew some of the nodes but you explained their functions and uses extremely well - Much appreciated!
This is excellent, very concise and hugely helpful.
Such a well made video! I think I was most impressed with the video itself keeping me pumped and interested the whole time
Thank you for the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you just killed more than 50% of the time I would have spent learning something useless . Great video
Explaining nodes in small but in a unique way...superb, thanks
One of the best tutorials I've seen on nodes. Makes me want to experiment right now :)
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!!!
I've needed this kind of concise demo for a long time. 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.
Clear, concise and fascinating - I can't wait to play around with all these!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much. This helped a lot with understanding nodes and how to think about them.
Thanks. Good explanations. I learned a lot. Keep them coming !
This is by far the best explanation of nodes! Love it!!
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.
All in on Nodes now! Love the music and the breakdown of each node
So happy to find this, excellent value delivered under 10 minutes!
That is the best introduction to shader nodes I have ever seen.
Agree with you
ive struggled with nodes the most and this really helped. Thank you!
Happy it helped in some way. Happy Blending! - Wes
Now that.... was a presentation.
yes people should see these kind of videos and try things themselves, just pasting things without understanding is huge problem
I'm flashed by your quality and not only the blender parts, I mean the music, the crossings etc. GREAT!
Loved this Tutorial. Definitely rewatching this in future for reference
I think you have mastered the art of the tutorial video. Every video I've watched has been top-notch.
Awesome video Chris! I’m new to Blender, and this is the best and most concise video I’ve seen on using nodes
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
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
Wo instant subscriber. The quality is just outstanding. Clear and to the point!
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!
This is the best video for material. Thank you! CG Cookie.
Man.....the video was a Banger. I'm absolute new to Blender but after watching this, I already feel like I can create anything.
THAT WAS SICK! I can't wait to try this out!
This was an excellent selection of choices, but also an impressive quick breakdown on how to use them.
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!
Thank you for the clear explanation! Love the edits as well
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
Your explanation make learning fun, thank you and God bless 🙏🏻
Very well delivered. Thanks for sharing 😊
Dude I really like these kind of videos. Don't stop doing the great work 👍
Glad I rewatched. The MixRGB before texture nodes was the exact tip I needed. Cheers!
This is so well explained, thank you
This kind of video is so good btw
This is what a perfect tutorial looks like. Thank you.
AWESOME TUTORIAL. Thank you so much!
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
Incredibly informative and very well edited!!
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!
These tutorials are amazing. Chris Bailey is amazing.
Thank you so much for explaining simplistic way to nodes...
This is so much great information in only 10 minutes, thank you very much.
I looove the animations between sections, amazing
Finally taking that step and getting into the node editor… thanks for the video!
A coordinate node that allows you to change the length, scale, and rotate the texture. He is very important.
Very helpful video and I love the transitional effects!
one of the most helpful straightforward videos I've watched. Instant sub
