What an awesome tutorial! Straight to the point, no fumbling around - most tutorials extrude then undo it then redo it then undo it and they have no idea what they want to do. Now and then it's not a big deal but over and over and over, I'm thinking why didn't you do some prep work before making the video? None of that occurs here. Excellent job!!!!!!!!!

i was here for the ivy tutorial, but your way of making the leaves trasnparent is gonna help me a lot more

its realy good, all simpl and clearly. Good work!

for transparency just drag the texture alpha node into the the BSDF alpha socket

Great tips. Thanks.

Good presentation. Thank you.

Thank you for this

Awesome 👍👍

Thanks thanks, 100% useful ;D

This is really cool..

Very nice you explain very well easy to understand for new beginner

Thanks a lot

You can also just place the alpha into the alpha slot on the principled BSDF, maybe just for image textures at least.

Thanks

Ohh thanks buddy

The leaves are all in the same direction?

EEVEE users!! To do the transparency, link image alpha node to BSDF alpha. Then go to material properties panel > Settings > Blend Mode: Alpha Clip

is this result good for UE5 ? if you export the result as an FBX file ?

If i have too dense of an area of leaves, the shadow is too dense. Does anyone know how i can fix this without affecting how many leaves I have in a single spot?

I can't access Node Wrangler since I updated my Blender 3.4 from 2.8. It was fine before but now it's not even appearing in search bar even though I enabled node wrangler in preference. I've been learing Blender for 4 months now, can soome one help me?

4:42 where to get such a sheet in png?

how can we apply this to something else other than this circle ball?

so this method, if i separate the face become new object for diffrent output, is it still work? if yes it will help full for me

For some reason, my leaves still show a background surrounding the leaf even though I removed it in Photoshop and exported as PNG. Any suggestions?

I'm here in Blender 4.0.2 and it's a struggle to get this working right. Is this confirmed to still be working with later versions of Blender? It's still in the built in addon list but its behaving strange.

Thanks for showing this plugin. Though, I have to admit, it kind of triggered me that AGAIN someone uses a mix shader and transparent node while already using a principled BDSF shader that got an alpha node build in.

great tutorial but oh mannnn.......not sure what Im doing wrong but cant get rid of the transparent BG in the leaf image. Do you have a screen shot of the node layout available?

I'm on blender 4.0 and I cant get my leaves to have a transparent background, even though it's a PNG. I copied your material exactly so no idea where it went wrong....?

I can’t find the invert node

Can you animate it?

What about eevee?

I heard sounded like a bike in the background.

5:18 Plug alpha to alpha. No need for the transparency node.

i don't see how you got the image to map to each individual leaf. When I open an image, it stretches the image across the entire UV grid, giving me an ivy leaf with just a tiny patch of the image showing (not the full leaf). How did you get it to map your leaf image to EVERY UV square (ivy leaf) automatically? ok, if you do it exactly your way, it works. If you unwrap the UVs any other way yourself b4 applying the image, it doesn't work. ? 1000 ways Blender doesn't work and 1 or 2 ways it does. That's what's so mind-numbing about this program. You can fail literally 1000 different ways then give up, search for a tutorial on YT and of course even those sometimes don't work because of some OTHER setting you didn't realize was set. thx!!!!

If anyone has any ideas on what I'm not doing correct, feel free to comment :-)

no no no there are a lot of problems here 1- only the same leaf texture for all those cards??? come on! it looks fake 2- the direction of the leaves is wrong. how can this be useful ?
