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: ua-cam.com/video/snsspPDdf-8/v-deo.html
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.
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.
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 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!
So far best channel I've found for blender, ♥️ the timestamps

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!
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?? 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 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!
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.
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, you just made me realise that i can do all the textures in blender procedurally too instead of needing additonal software like Substance Designer.
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.
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!
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 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 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.
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!!!
This was great, thanks. You forgot to go back and demo the subsurface factor you memtioned (8:18) but I suppose I can play around with that myself. Cheers!
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

@@cg_cookie Bump makes pictures/textures 3D?????????
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
I'm fairly new to texture work in Blender; but I 100% agree that bump map is the GOAT
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
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.

These are shader nodes, Not geometry nodes ;)
Us the people we want more of this new style videos 😍
We the cookie shall comply. 🍪
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
As a media designer I really fukn like how amazing professional and high quality this tutorial was.
Take my subscription.
Transparent and Mix Shader nodes are my frequent used nodes too
My #favnode is
1.voranoi texture
2. noise texture
3. Principal bsdf
Now that.... was a presentation.
Absolutely fantastic explanations! Thanks for making something that can be quite complex, super simple!
I really didn't expect you to be here :)
Thank u sooo much I am 15 trying to learn to learn blender and this video taught me a lot thank u again ✨
Texture coordinate node, Color ramp node, Noise texture node, Voroni texture node, Mix RGB node, Bump node... excellent info! Thanks for sharing!
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.
yes people should see these kind of videos and try things themselves, just pasting things without understanding is huge problem
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
Explaining nodes in small but in a unique way...superb, thanks
Man.....the video was a Banger. I'm absolute new to Blender but after watching this, I already feel like I can create anything.
A coordinate node that allows you to change the length, scale, and rotate the texture. He is very important.
Each introduction was so cool with that great track, makes me so pumped up.
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!
Highly recommend the wave texture node too.
So far best channel I've found for blender, ♥️ the timestamps

at first when i saw the shader editor i was like "oh gosh this is too complicated", now im pretty confident with it
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!

without a doubt that the way you teach how nodes work its the most effective way to learn it. Thank you Chris!
so excited to use this with greasepencil! i literally only use blender for anything 2d, finally gaining courage to learn the 3d side
Easy
1. Google
2. Search CG Cookie
3. Listen
4. Learn
5. Joy
6. Repeat
And that's basically how I make any texture in blender.
Please Please PLEASE....... Make more videos like this..... :)
This video inspires me.
Waoooo, this video is pure gold. This is how crash course should look like!
Glad I rewatched. The MixRGB before texture nodes was the exact tip I needed. Cheers!
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♪...

ive struggled with nodes the most and this really helped. Thank you!
Happy it helped in some way. Happy Blending! - Wes
that background music though😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

That is the best introduction to shader nodes I have ever seen.

Easy to understand🙂, I usually go with PBSDF and textures. Thank you!
I'm flashed by your quality and not only the blender parts, I mean the music, the crossings etc. GREAT!
This is the first material tutorial that I've watched to the end, very informative
This video saved me while I was finding it so hard to be understanding with nodes. 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
Definitely best tutorial about nodes
Wins the prize for most bad ass tutorial, also great for understanding nodes
All in on Nodes now! Love the music and the breakdown of each node
Thanks so much for this. First time I really feel like I have an idea about what the nodes do.
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.
It's a challenge to know where to place all these nodes to create different materials. This helps immeasurably.
Whelp - Time to go render out every combination
and print out some gallery sheets
for future reference. 🙂
Thank you so much for explaining simplistic way to nodes...
Great salut to you SIR I was stuck on material you solved my problem , befor my materials look to much carton but now i can do it better realistic one
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!
To explain it better, mix RGB when used on vectors turns well R, G, B into X, Y ,Z, so it's great yeah
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!!!
Voronoi is my new favorite texture after this video.i was trying to make tiles about a week ago. Now I can.
you can make tiles with wave texture too
ur video actually made sense and was awesome !
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
Best video I’ve seen explaining nodes on blender ... 💯
You explain very well and fast
Incredibly informative and very well edited!!
I can tell a lot of work went into making this video.so thanks.
I think mapping deserved to be in the list
Thank You! A (mostly) comprehensible overview. This whole node business is some tough stuff to wrap my head around.
Finally taking that step and getting into the node editor… thanks for the video!
I like the way you explain. it's easy to understand ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, this is the best Blender tutorial video I've seen...
key tips makes massive improvement , you are the besssttt
One of the best Blender Tourtorials!
This is a very cool montage, with it + 100% to the concept of node capabilities
These tutorials are amazing. Chris Bailey is amazing.
Excellent tutorial. You really demystified nodes for me!! Thank you.
i love the way you edit your videos. it spice everything's up
This tutorial is actually amazing
A very exciting approach to the nodes to start exploring them right away!
Dude!!!! This is so awesome I had to watch TWICE!!
This tutorial helped a lot. You made it very clear about texturing.
Dude. Thank you! You change my life in blender
Thank you for the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 you just killed more than 50% of the time I would have spent learning something useless . Great video
Amazing and dynamic tutorial , I enjoyed from explanation to music 🤯🤯🤯
Best blender video ever.
We live in amazing times, where content like this is freely available on the internet.
Your accent is so good I can learn English and blender at the same time
This was great, thanks. You forgot to go back and demo the subsurface factor you memtioned (8:18) but I suppose I can play around with that myself. Cheers!
This has absolutely solved my confusion about nodes! Thank you so much!
Usually Blender tutorials are a chore to watch. This was actually pretty dope, so cool! Thank you!
wow, i even amazed by your animation beetween node explanation 👏 😀 👌
Best explanation of nodes EVER! Please can you do more that cover the rest of the nodes?
This Node Knowledge is why I started following you Chris! Get breakdown and explanations.
Chris knows his stuff! - Wes
Best intro to material nodes on the web !
Sir... pretty awesome tutorial.
I have no Graphics card, But learning Blander with lowpoly Modeling...
Thanks you so much.
Wo instant subscriber. The quality is just outstanding. Clear and to the point!
