Everybody, remember to be in CYCLES and in RENDERED mode. Otherwise it will not work. Thanks for a great tutorial!!

Using the bevel node is a really good idea. Pointiness in Geometry is very dependent on subdivision levels and doesn’t really work on multiple models with different subd levels.

You cant even imagine how this is helping. As someone else said, I would have never though about putting a texture into the bevel radius. Works absolutely flaswless, thanks a ton !!

i never EVER thought of plugging a map into the radius, this is genius, thank you very much, you gained a follower and a like and a comment for the algorythm, thank you so much for helping me, i hope it will help you too !

Thanks. Unfortunately in version 4 it doesn't work. Maybe it's just me, but they obviously changed something.

This is exactly what I've just spent hours looking for - THANK YOU so much !!!

Been going through a bunch of edge wear tutorials, this one produces the best look with the texture map and very few nodes needed. The Bevel Node is far superior to any of the AO versions. Layering Shaders with Edge Wear masking produces some great results. Hopefully a layer node is added in the future to make the layering of shaders and textures easier.

your voice is so calming... thanks! this helped out a ton

i just spent 3 hours doing this manually in armorpaint 😭

for some reason it doesnt work for me, is always white and never changes, what should i do ?

this tutorial is much simpler than the others i have watched

Whoever you are sir, I love you!

Best out of the all the edge wear tutorials

Thanks man! I've been struggling with this for a while and as a newish person to blender you made it so much easier to understand than other videos I've seen

This Tutorial is very useful and I am glad I found it. Good job 3Daleks!

This video is great: short, to the point, and filled with information. Thank you.

Please support this valuable channel, the training was very useful, thank you to the teacher of this training

An amazing tutorial! This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

exact what we need, thanks sir, amazing tutorial. imagine using another cool scratched texture, wow ! thumps up sir !

Very useful tutorial! Thx!

thank you, this helped a ton!

You should leave the whole node diagram up at the end so we can see and make better sense of it. Thanks for the tutorial, though.

Real good man. Thanks.

Holy crap! Your viewport handles 1024 samples in the time it takes mine to do 25.

Well, this one is going into my favourites!

thank you I was looking for this

first i jumped in and subtracted two bevel lol. this is niceeeeeeeeeee

Noice - was Wrecking my head for Weeks now xD trying to accomplish this.

helped me alot, now i just need to know how to do such a nice looking edge wear texture just with nodes ;)

Mind blowing! Thank you so much!

Amazing tutorial by is simplicity yet incredible result Ty man

Very helpful! I noticed this technique only works on organic characters if I use "True Normal" I was wondering why it wasn't working till I used that one

Very nice!

this is awsome man, thank you very very much

Doesn't work for me. :( The texture appears across the entire object, not the edges, doesn't matter what parameters I change, they have no effect. I've been using Blender for 7 years... not ONCE have I found a tutorial that works like shown, I'm so tired of this. 😪

simple and effective ! thank you !

start at 0:32

very useful, thank you so much !

This worked amazing thank you so much bro!

Thank you this helped me a lot!!

thank you very much, works great!

In next tutorial you may plz show the shader editor window maximized and all nodes in view (home key) and and without shrinking to icon !!

You BEST! Thanks!

Ty bro. Really the fastest install what i see.

I want to do what the "distance to edge - voronoi" does, but with the edges of the object, not by creating them.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

super cool 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

To ALL the virtuous Blender Tutorial makers: SHOW THE GODDAMN TERMINAL NODE. I have no idea what you plugged the whole thingamabob in.

Thanks a lot man!

hey this doesnt seem to work at all. cant tell if im doing something differently or if its just broken on 4.0 i have the normal of the geometry node and normal on the bevel node into a vector math node set to dot product which goes into a principled BSDF node connected to the material output. im on cycles and in rendered mode and there are no black edges. any idea why?

bro, I have one suggestion. instead of saying you should learn shortcuts, you can just say how you did it. but still use full video

s. Thank you In The setup❤️

Thank you for this ❤️

for more complicated than cube object UV required?

Thanks for the vids!

amazing Thank you so much

how to make this work in eevee?

good tut

Thank you very much for the tutorial, when I bake I can see the result, but I can't see it in eevee, what should I activate to see the result in real time?

does this work on 36 sided cylinders? cause when i tried it nothing is happening but it works fine on my sword

thank you very much for the video💯💯💯

This is awesome! The thing I want to try to understand: How do you even realize to plug a map into the radius? I've always been trying to make my own shaders to various levels of success, and it always feels like I go at it completely randomly. Do you have any tutorials or know any good videos about a thought process or method of coming up with shaders like this?

Thank you so much)

Great!

Thanks

great i lost in the pre view node dunno whats the shortcut👍👍

dont know why but this just not work at all. Set up a brand new scene and all and repeated the steps perfectly but with no results

what are you pressing for the node wrangler thing. How am I supposed to know

Great tutorial! Is there a way I can get this effect on only the top edges of vertical faces? That would be great!

Great.... Thanks!!!

for some reason the divide node is not doing anything for me. using blender 3

Thank you

is it possible to do this with eevee rendering engine? following this exact setup, it seems to only work on Cycles...

thanks a lot man!

i will cry why my cube is full white. im viewing material mode from toop right.

It does not seem to work with a displacement map though, how can I use this for PBR materials? Thanks!

can u show how can we bake it for eevee

It doesnt work very well if you have some bevel.

I want to use this to mix shaders. have not been successful, yet

Thanks for an amazing idea for edge wear 👌 one question... how do I use my imagine texture for the colour of my object with this effect without it just being completely black like yours? 🤔 thanks 🙏

Okay, but how can i export these scratches onto a PNG?

CGvirus did this a long time ago.

I ccompleted the whole tutorial in evee then changed to cycles it did not work / convert do I have to start from the beginning? do over the tutorial with evee from the start?

can you PLEASE say what yu did with the Node Wrangler? What are the 3 hidden nodes you added between bevel and material output?!

Спасибо

I did what was shown in the video and I just get a cube which is black nothing on the edges. No idea what I am doing wrong.

i cant find dot product

Work on 3.4.1

Make sure to change to Cycles or you get nothing.

Thank you for this tutorial This has solved a big problem of mine learning, can you make a tutorial on procedural ao shader please

Cool, but, again, I guess this is only cycles

I was lost at preview. ctrl + shift+ click

based

Hi.. Can i add my original diffuse texture on this configuration?

It doesn't work anymore for some reason, or maybe I am doing somethign wrong

can someone tell, what hotkey did he use at 0:53?

how can i export this as an obj file while it looks like that?

could it be this only works in cycles ?

super

where i can find the preview node
