Friend thank, but are missing the image files in the nodes, you can "pack into blend" and upload again?

Nice!

Thanks 😊

@@BlenderSecrets is it by hand?

Haha buy my e-book instead!

Wow - "I model sweet desserts for a living" that's amazing. I love it when people do something so specific and are able to make a living from it. Well done!

@@BlenderSecrets Funny how a tutorial on worn edges can be used to model burnt meringue 😉😊

use rendered view

Thanks! 👍

and thank you for the Jazz background

Thank YOU!!

Hmm, that's interesting. I don't have experience with Substance, so I don't exactly know what smart materials do. Could you explain a bit?

@@BlenderSecrets , oh i am super beginner in Substance. Smart materials act according to geometry material is applied on. I litereray are just first two tutorials in to Substance, not a great "consultant" on that :-) Meanwhile, about Blender, this came literary just yesterday, i wonder if this result is also Cycles-only: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jriIp6-ksp7Non0.html

Not sure what the distinction is supposed to be between "actual material" and "render output" - the edge wear effect shown in the video happens in the material. If you assign the same procedural material to a new model with different geometry, the Pointiness output shown in the video will adapt to that. If you want to re-use the material (or parts of materials, "Node Groups") in other projects, you can just save & import (append/link) materials from another project file. If you want to export it for rendering outside of Blender, you can UV-unwrap the model, and bake the procedurally generated material to rasterized image textures (PNG/JPG/TIFF...). Blender is definitely not as specialized for this as Substance, and doesn't have nearly as many preset patterns, but (with perhaps considerably more time/effort/knowledge) you should be able to achieve similar workflows & results.

@@nibblrrr7124 , Thanks a lot for answering! I am still trying to get all the relevant workflows in my head, sure just a beginner. Slightly more experience in UE4, slightly less in Blender, and almost zero in Substance. But i am progressing :) Thanks for help!

@@nibblrrr7124 , maybe i could as differently: is there Blender edge detect / wear nodes that will work in Eevee renderer?

Haha, I get that question every time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6hod8mX2L_Tm3k.html

@@BlenderSecrets Oh nice, thank you

Yeah, Eevee is not Cycles... I guess you can bake these edges to a black and white texture and use that in Eevee.

@@BlenderSecrets heyo - have you already done this video for eevee? i guess we can pass geometry node parameter to the shader right?

How does it work in Adobe animate? I'm not even sure what you mean with Sprite animation. If you mean that each frame is literally a different drawing, then just have all the sprite frames on a texture and keyframe animate the UV map. Maybe check this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8eEm9Fmzr3Yj6M.html

@@BlenderSecrets Oh yeah, I think that might be the right method to creating sprite animations in blender. Basically a sprite is one frame of an animation, if you go to spriters resource you'll find a whole bunch of them. In Adobe animate my workflow is taking each frame of a sprite, putting it together, and converting it to a graphic so I can use that animation for later from the library. I'm just wondering on how would I animate it blender and the workflow. Sorry for the long response.

I suppose you would have to bake the edge map to a black/white image and then use that as the factor for the Mix shader.

Yeah I like the Bevel node as well!
